Its all about clear buckets

I had a conversation with someone today who is confused if he should be looking for a job. This isnt unusual coz i have this conversation with him every other week. But today the conversation was different coz i finally lost it with him and told him that i would not take what he says seriously because in my mind he is under that category which only talks and does nothing. This lead to my thoughts wandering about how all of can be easily categorized. Mind you, that is not to say that i am stereotyping a person, but that people can be clearly bucketed. They may be in different buckets at different times,but the buckets remain the same. So here goes some typical buckets in different categories...

• Politics @ the workplace: The idealist, the cynic and the suck-up
• Attitude (towards anything) : The talkers, The triers and The Doers
• More attitude: The nose pickers, the ignorers, the scolders
• Salespeople: The pursuaders, The brute-forcers, The whiners and the failures
• Managers: The good, the bad and the ugly:)
• Colleagues: The liked and respected, The liked but not respected, The disliked yet respected, The disliked and disrespected and The indifferent. You can add a passive and active facet to each of that!!!
• Managing professional and personal conflicts: The clearly professional , The confused/ conflicted, The distant professional, The completely personal, The selectively pro/personal
• Gullibility: The "Aa Bail Mujhe Maar", The Bails, and the smart ones!!!

I know i have been in different buckets for the same category at different points of time. But this is one list and logic i believe will help me understand this irrational creature called man
