That's quite a complicated question and time is of the essence.

May I recommend this book?



You're welcome.

A co-worker of mine was recently informed that I'm German. He told me that his mother (who has had Alzheimer's for quite some time - I know this from previous conversations with this co-worker) was born and raised in Germany and began teaching him the language roughly ten years ago. Therefore, he has begun speaking German around me.

The problem is that he's not actually speaking German - at all. I can't recognize a single word he's saying. I'm not sure if she taught him a different language, or just sounds put together that sound like a language.

For the past week, I've avoided the co-worker and laughed or nodded at anything he's said to me. It's getting really difficult to judge which kind of reaction he wants based on his facial expression and tone, and I'm afraid I'm going to laugh or nod at something serious and have to explain everything to him.

I don't want to be the one to break the news to him. I don't typically like speaking the language, but I speak German with my boss all the time, so I can't use an excuse like "I don't like speaking it at work."

Fix that, Rakim.

I keep getting banned from MacInsiders, my guess is because I'm too good of a poster. How do I become a sh*ttier poster?

1. It feels like I wanna learn a lotta things at once. How can I streamline this?

2. When I start a project, I leave it before I finish it...how can I get rid of this habit?

3. How can I manage time better to concentrate more on my studies?

Thank you.

Sometimes in life, you have to hurt peoples feelings.

Let him know two things: He isn't speaking German and that his Grandma is a (insert derogatory term)

Hmmmmm....

It seems like question 3 is the root of your problem.

William Shakespeare once said "Make use of time, let not advantage slip."

People usually quote things when giving advice, is this inspirational?

I too have a major issue with getting banned.

It ultimately comes down to people being jelly.

How do I stop myself from falling into a rut? When I get home I tend to take my laptop and just sit on the couch and not do a whole not... I keep telling myself just a little bit longer then I'll go sit at a desk and get stuff done, but it never does :(

I just talked to one of my associates (my cat Suzy) and we both agree that you need some motivation.

Do you have 2 minutes to spare?

Everytime you feel yourself getting lazy, please consult this:
