I'm a slacker and a bitch

I thought rogering was putting yours up his - or hers?

Therefore "Up yours roger" would be redundant.

Oh my - it is sooo time I was asleep....

You look a tad too - well - ectomorphic.

Wadya want me to say Set? - "up yours roger" - I'm too polite for that, besides I really want to know a different opinion about it.

Can't help much, goodfielder, cuz I bent it out of shape to fit one of the more direct conflict resolution techniques. By the way, you're handling "roger" real well - for an Aussie.

Okay, thanks for that - I'm usually careful to, while I'm doing my job, not cross the line into manipulation and I'd hate to do so out of sheer ignorance. Before I ordered the TKI I did as much research as I could on the net to ensure it had a basis in at least some objective evidence (the reason I won't go near NLP) and I'd hate to think I'd been sucked in to some twisted management trickery.

Very English middle/upper class term. "He gave her a good rogering". My allusion to "up yours" was of course vulgar, which is why it was just an allusion and not directed at roger.

But I suppose if roger gives anyone a rough time they can claim to have been "rogered". Twisted Evil

FD -the use of the TKI - the Thomas-Killman Instrument. It's a pencil and paper instrument that gives feedback on the preferred method of conflict resolution of an individual. If you google Thomas-Killman Instrument you will find out all about it plus you will be assailed by offers from consultants to stop WWIII erupting in your workplace Very Happy

Endomorphs fly - at least if a bumblebee can be called endomorphic :wink:

Lol - so - now tell FreeDuck (and me) what the flaming bejesus TKI is.

I googled it and all.

Man, NLP gives me the pip, too.

Heheheheeh - but - how dare I -- I use EMDR!

The crap around it sucks - but it works!

That guilty feeling after you really stick it someone who deserves it is pretty common. Depends on how you handle conflict. I work with some of the groups in my area of responsibility in conflict resolution in the workplace using the Thomas-Killman instrument, it helps people understand how they handle conflict and why they feel like they do.

Anyway good for you, he deserved it.

The Thomas-Killman instrument being something like a big stick? Dandy conflict resoultion tool.

TKI - it's one of those instruments that - I have to say this - sort of pigeonholes people into five categories which describe their preferred/intuitive method of dealing with interpersonal conflict. It seems to give feedback to the individual on their preferred method and yet at the same time it doesn't make a judgement about the individual's preferred method but seeks to offer some practical suggestions about how the individual can deal with conflict. I have to say I use this but it is in conjunction with other material. As I indicated I am concerned that I don't rely on one source only for this.

For my needs it works. I've used it a few times and the feedback has been that it does help. Having said that I only use it in areas that need it, that actually have conflict in the workplace (pause - I know that's every workplace but I wait for a request from the manager before sticking my TKI in there).

What is EMDR? I am not familiar with it.

So, GF - apart from being a cop, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

You seem to be studying/have studied all sorts of stuff.

EMDR is a controversial PTSD/general trauma treatment tool.

Its creator has gone all sort of messianic about it - and it has made grandiose claims.

Some research really trashed it - but a lot of that was done not using it properly.

It is a neat little tool in good therapeutic hands, for people who like it and whom it suits. The messianic crap makes folk all suspicious - and I am not in the least surprised.

So - an ex-mesomorph -what have you morphed into?

If you're just being silly, i don't understand your joke.

If you're being serious, you're wrong:

The Columbia University Press wrote:

Mesopotamia [Gr.,=between rivers], ancient region of Asia, the territory about the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, included in modern Iraq. The region extends from the Persian Gulf north to the mountains of Armenia and from the Zagros and Kurdish mountains on the east to the Syrian Desert. From the mountainous north, Mesopotamia slopes down through grassy steppes to a central alluvial plain, which was once rendered exceedingly fertile by a network of canals.
