Good Idea, Bad Idea

Suppose there's a person in your office that you don't get along with. You have to work with them, however - you're not the boss in this situation, and you end up on a bunch of the same projects.

Do you
a) Avoid talking to the person no matter what.
b) Insult the person and hope they go away.
c) Tell them that they need to do everything your way, and if they don't like it, they can take a long jump off a short pier.
d) Discuss the problems you're having in an attempt to resolve the conflict or at least come to a professional understanding so that you can both get your work done.

If you picked D, then you're:
1) Not President Bush, John McCain or Hillary Clinton
2) In agreement with Barack Obama and more than 65% of the American public - including half of all Republicans.
