Got something you can´t decide? Need an objective viewpoint?

Chocolates or flowers? Xbox or a meal out for your partner? Thailand or New Zealand? University or join the circus? You get the idea.

Oh...the catch? You have to take our advice (count the votes for each option), and let us know how it went.

I vote for flower-shaped chocolates.

Indecisiveness or enlightened third way?

(Ooh, meta...)

Meta frightens customers.

And flower shaped chocolates are still chocolates. Now, chocolate coated flowers is what you should have written.

Chocolate = if ze doesn´t want any, you can eat it yourself!

Ok, forget the chocolate. That was just an example.

Real dilemmas only.

Anyway, if they didn't like the flowers, then you could look at/smell them yourself.

I'm confused, and angry, about a situation at the office. Somebody 'did a number two' in the water cooler, and it seems like I'm a suspect. How the hell am I supposed to carry on, career-wise, even assuming the allegations had some sort of basis in fact?

Alex's Grandma

It's a bad set-up - I feel as if everyone's looking at me, and thinking that I'm the office go-to guy, in the worst and most terrible way.

That definitely sucks. So what are your two choices man?

1) 'fess up
2) Maintain dignified* silence

*not sure this is the mot juste but what the hell

I can't very well 'fess up' to a crime that as far as I remember I'm not guilty of, can I?

Equally, if I maintain radio silence about the thing in the water, won't that attract the wrong sort of attention, in the Human Resources dept?

A) Simply create a larger office controversy pinning it on someone else in true Machiavellian fashion with a system of sly allusions and inferences (Think Richard III) so as to make today's concerned managerial email tomorrow's trash item.
I don't know what kind of escalation would be appropriate to obliterate the memory of contaminating the office water supply so heinously, however.
That you'll have to work out yourself.
B) Catch the real culprit!
C) Repeat the action publically, thus, gaining some time off work away from such complex conundrums.

B) Catch the real culprit!

I know who it was.

I know who it was beceause he expressed himself, in a fairly hard-edged way, on my desk.

Now I remember why I have you on ignore 90% of the time. See you in a week.
