“What happens in coffee room stays in coffee room”
So NOT true.
First of all, every time something here “happens” to me, or about me, I get calls from my family (in r.l. – yeah there’s life in r.l. too), and no, sometimes it’s not pretty..
Second of all, the mood and state of mind effected by comments, either for good or bad, linger long after one leaves. An uplifting, kind, good-hearted word extended to anyone lifts, brightens and soothes, the feeling lingers on. Same for the opposite.
Thirdly, I heard the Country Yossi takes “The Best of the CoffeeRoom ™ into their publication. (and no, I hardly think I ever graced it in)
