It's Friday and you're determined to end your workweek on a positive note. The only problem is the chronic complainer in the next cubicle over. Just leaning over and decking the offender isn't an option (though apparently many of you wish it were) so how can you neutralize the person's negativity and get on with enjoying your life?

Some negative people are triggered by certain topics. Take for example one of my friends who sinks into a self-victimizing mode whenever we talk about his work. No matter what I say (or don't say), he'll keep complaining once we talk about work. Simple things like new movies, daily occurrences, common friends, make for light conversation.

Your time is precious, so spend it with people who have positive effects on you. Remember, at the end of the day you're responsible for your own mood.
