Nothing quite takes the wind out of your sails than coming into the office, ready to take on the day, when your "Good Morning" is met with a litany of complaints from the office pessimist. Any advice?

Hire a goon to take care of her negativity!

I recall working in an office environment and having to hear all the negative talk around the office. There was always one person in the office who was negative about everything. It didn't matter what it was about, she could never see the good in anything. This bothered me a lot at first, then I got to know her a little better.....It seems that she had a miserable life as a child, got married had a son only to have her husband leave her and their 3 year old son behind. She was consumed with the anger of being betrayed and abandoned by her husband. She never married again and could not hold onto a relationship. After knowing all of that, her negativity didn't bother me at all. If anything, it gave me something to be thankful for everyday.

It takes only one negative person in a work place to adversely affect morale and productivity. I work in a small government branch office and the arrogance and negativity really takes its toll on you. The only way to overcome it is to *gasp* point it out to them. Of course you have to be careful how you do it, the timing and execution and such, but once they realize it's all in their head they usually calm down for at least an hour.
