Thanks. So just exhibit the same behavior and I'll be OK? I'm not a young person. I'm pretty positive though depressive, but I've not been in situations where "allowing" is free range. My cubicle is between a group of gray-haired mean women, climbing men and clique-y folk. I was laughing so hard the other morning when the one lady came in and began to cough and cough and cough so as to get my attention so I could turn around and say oh good morning so she could do her usual and ignore me. NOT! How would I go about bringing this up without harming myself?
