AOL Jobs Donald reader says ...

The personnel director of my company is very friendly and asked me to be his "friend" on Facebook. While it is nice and friendly, seems like a bad idea. I like the boundaries between work and personal social communication. How can I reject me without sounding rude?

Before you even finish reading this sentence, you open a new window and link to it. Ah yes, the good old LinkedIn, whose motto should be "You're not going to see my friend, but not its existence." Now let's take a moment to himself mercy on the poor human resource professionals in the world. No one wants to be your friend on social networks, because obviously spying on you and want to get fired. (The press room even had a subplot about it.)

I think the best choice here is honesty: explain e-mail that you really appreciate the friend request, but you are trying to put some limits . Anyone should be to some modern world hears able to be this view. And assuming that it is very nice and friendly, in the same email, you may indicate that certainly mitigate meeting for lunch one day the blow. Then you have really become friends and accept it on Facebook, and was then released.

Question 2: Eloise said ...

I recently started working at home full time. I live in an apartment and have an unfortunate discovery: My neighbor plays music all the # @ & $% ^ time. Boom, boom, boom - it never ends !! What can I do?

Eloise, welcome to the wonderful independent life and all its unexpected sounds: construction! Children! Dogs! Emergency vehicles! Robo-calls! And yes, music. The outside world, a virtual symphony distraction of his home workers . Some independent colleagues have chosen to work in quiet cafes. (No, not the baristas - Hey, that's saying something!) Headphones noise or white noise machines are other options. In your case could be a message to its neighbors to be very effective, but remember to be reasonable. You can really only asking for silence during normal working hours. O, and in the middle of the night. This is the answer! Sleeping during the day and night work, it's nice and quiet. Especially recommended for independent vampires.
