      I got given a book for XMAS - "who moved my cheese". Its about coping with change. Have you read it?

      Anyway, my thought was "I know which f***kers moved my cheese and I will have retribution".

      Alas most of my issues I an't change so I spend most days stressed dreading - the time when I sleep and the nightmares start.

      My father died at about my age from cancer. If I get cancer I will ot be sitting around waiting for death.

              [edit] Criticism
              The main question "Who Moved My Cheese?" is left unanswered. The book is criticized as a patronizing book that educates followers, not leaders: out of at least three options

              to search and chase after new cheese
              to make the cheese yourself
              to move the cheese away from the refrigerators of others
              only the first - and most passive - option is discussed. There are many alternative viewpoints on the Cheese story.

              Some managers are known to mass-distribute copies of the book to employees, some of whom see this as an insult or an attempt to characterize dissent as not "moving with the cheese". Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams claims that patronizing parables are one of the top 10 complaints he receives in his email.[2]

                It was ClientCo manager who gave it out - he has been 7 years at a very American bank.

                No wonder I hate ClientCo

                  I think I said the same thing, slightly briefer, though.

                    Ah... but it wasn't always so was it? a spurned woman is a dangerous thing

                      I have not read the cheese book.

                      All I know is I cannot change anyone or anything else.
