You catch more flies with honey...
The guy I just spoke to on the phone for work is a known shit-stirrer, a gossip, and a disorganized work-shirker. But I'll tell you what, he's a pleasant fellow to talk to and he always, always compliments me, my work, and my department- both to me and to my boss. So, yeah, I totally know he's blowing smoke, but I much prefer working with him than to the honest, hard-working hard-asses around here who can barely be bothered to smile and say hello.
I feel guilty about that, on some level.
