The security slogan for the post-9/11 age has been, “See something, say something.” When it comes to insensitive remarks in the workplace, the motto could be, “Hear something, say something.”
Karen Hoelscher, an education researcher who studies student identities, remembers being labeled “Dr. Diversity” by her older, male colleagues at the start of her career. Then, she was too bashful and too concerned about tenure to speak up when they made insensitive comments.
Even if a racial joke or discriminatory remark is humorous, it should not go unchallenged. The daily interactions are what make a workplace tolerant and supportive of everyone.
Too often, we laugh at the joke and then later wish we had said something. To avoid that regret, it helps to have a few stock replies at the ready. Hoelscher suggests:
- “I’ve always thought of you as a fair-minded person, so I’m surprised to hear you say that.”
- “Please don’t use that language when I’m around.”
- “I’m sorry – what’s so funny?”
Even if the remark does not offend you, others will be glad that you had the courage to undermine the insensitive comment.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
A few things i have observed in terms of laptop or computer memory is the fact there are features such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must match the technical specs of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is kind of current while there are no operating system issues, modernizing the ram literally takes under one hour. It’s one of the easiest pc upgrade procedures one can visualize. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
