sometimes who you are talking to and sometimes and what a little "joke" can mean.
A few years ago I shared office with a co-worker who at the time just started to work for the company I was working for. In the begining we spoke a lot as he told me he worked with Sly and Robbie as a recording engineer. He had love for music and seemed a cool guy. His wife was considered one of the top 5 most influencial women in Rock Music as she worked with one of the top Rock Producers.
This guy started off good and we did some project that the company liked. All of a sudden he started slacking off, coming in late, missing on Fridays etc. I realise he had some problems. I was upset as now most of the work began to fall on me, I spoke to him and my boss but kept it very professional although I was very upset about the happenings.
He was fired after a while, saw him after and he told me things are looking up. Anyhow the story ended six months later this guy awaited his wife shot her serveral times, shot his dog and killed himself. Never heard him talk about guns, killing or anything like that. Now consider if I had dealth with him unprofessional? If there was blow out.
Anyhow the point I am trying to make is sometimes you never know who people are and when they are serious and when they are not and becareful how far you go with people, and while it might get you a laugh or some self gratification sometimes remember not everybody think like you.
