We work with a lovely, intelligent woman who wears too much perfume. Not the cheap stuff, but the good stuff that lasts all day long. The guy in the cubicle next to her sometimes gets dizzy from it. She is a "superior" to us and we need a diplomatic way to tell her without offending her too much. Help!
Thanks,

My coworker received a pay raise despite the fact that lately he has not been doing his work. Instead, I have been asked to pick up his slack, so to speak, and now I feel like I should also receive a raise. How can I approach my boss about this?
Help me....

Miss Manners,
Is it considered inappropriate to have children type thank you notes instead of handwriting them. My son gets very frustrated when handwriting thank you notes and tends to make many mistakes. He is a fantastic typist for a 10 year old and this method seems to go more smoothly as he is faster at getting his thank you notes out. I allow him to type his notes for his ninth birthday, because of his overall frustration, but have wondered if others would overlook the typical manners policy since he typed his own and they were in his own words. Thank you for your response.

My Mother-in-Law never lets us know in advance when she is coming to visit. She says that since we are family, it is not necessary. She says that she welcomes visitors at her home at any time and so should we. Is she right? If not, how can we get her to stop showing up at our front door whenever she likes?Anonymous

Recently I made a bracket for a neighbor that was concerned about the secrurity of his car in his garage. We are good friends and we have done things back and forth for each other for years. I am unemployed but I am doing okay financially right now and when I was finished with the bracket, he passed an envelope to me. Inside was an amount twenty to thirty times the value of the bracket. What do I do? Accept it or try to graciously decline the money? we've never exchanged money for our favors before. Any help would be appreciated.Anonymous

I work in a small office (approx 20 people). One employee is getting a surprise birthday party given to her on an upcoming weekend, but not everyone was invited. Some have now heard about it & are hurt they're not invited. In an office this small should you invite everyone, to spare hurt feelings, or is it ok to just invite certain ones?Anonymous
