article: If you don't have to work directly with the difficult coworker, do you best to stay away from him.  When you do need to interact with this person, keep your interactions brief and pleasant. Be professional instead of giving the person the cold shoulder or being rude. Depending on the situation, it may be best to simply ignore certain behaviors as well, even if they are exhibited by coworkers with whom you work closely. Remember, you need to pick and choose your battles. If you're having a problem with a coworker who you really do need to work with, try talking to the person openly about the issue. Make sure to communicate what the problem is, listen to her perspective, and offer your own suggestions for resolving the problem. You don't need to be afraid about bringing up an issue for fear of hurting your coworker's feelings; you just need to be diplomatic. Try to keep your conversation directed at the specific issue at hand, instead of making it about your coworker as a person. For example, instead of saying, "You need to get your act together and work harder or we're going to miss our deadline," say, "I'd like to talk to you about what we can do to get that project you're working on finished sooner." It may be that your difficult coworker simply has a different style of communication than you do, which can make it difficult for the two of you to understand each other. Make sure to communicate to your coworker if you feel that there is something he needs to do to improve your working relationship. You also need to be willing to step in and do your part.  Avoid accusing your coworker of anything. For example, instead of saying, "You never give me enough time to prepare for presentations," say, "I work best when I know about a presentation two days in advance. Can you try to let me know by then?" Don't take offense if your coworker offers you some constructive criticism in return. Do your best to learn from it, assuming it is reasonable. If you have a coworker who is constantly bringing other people down with her negative attitude, let her know how you feel about it. Everyone has different ways of venting frustration, and she may not have any idea how her negative attitude affects you. If you don't want to confront her directly, try responding to your negative coworker with an abundance of positivity. She will most likely get the hint that you don't like her negative energy. In some circumstances, the best thing you can do is to tell a superior, such as a manager or your company's HR department, about your coworker's unacceptable behavior so they can handle the difficult employee according to company policy. The appropriateness of this option will depend upon the unique situation and your office culture. Make sure you take a minute to think about whether the situation is really worth reporting before you go running to your boss.  Before reporting a coworker's behavior to your superiors, you should make sure that you are doing so because you believe the behavior is genuinely harmful to the company and/or employees, and not because you are feeling angry or want to get someone in trouble. You should also ask yourself if the problem could be more easily resolved if you confronted your coworker about it directly. Keep in mind that if you go over his head, he will likely feel threatened. You have the right to feel safe and respected at work. If a coworker's behavior is simply unprofessional, make sure he knows that you won't stand for it. You can try telling him that you will report his behavior to your manager or to HR if it happens again, but if you say this, you have to follow through.  It's important not to let the bully see that his actions are affecting you the way he wants them to. Be strong and don't react emotionally. An office bully will be at their worst whenever you've made a major mistake. However, that doesn't mean you can't partly salvage the situation by handling failure at work with honesty and integrity. It's a good idea to keep a record of your coworker's bad behavior, just in case it gets to the point that you feel you need to report it. Keep hard evidence like emails or voicemails if you can. If you don't have anything like that, simply keep a log of your coworker's bad behavior.

Pour the crushed ice into a strainer to drain the excess water. Use the crushed ice right away or store it in a bag in the freezer."
article: Take out ice cubes or pieces of ice from the freezer and put them directly into your blender or food processor. Put in as much as you plan on using, or make a big batch to store in the freezer. It will work best if all the pieces of ice are approximately the same size. Put the lid securely on the blender or food processor. Use the pulse button to blend the ice in short bursts until there are no large pieces. If your blender or food processor doesn't have a pulse button, then just use the highest speed setting for short bursts. The heat of the motor in the blender or food processor will melt some of the ice. Pour it through a strainer so that you are left with just the ice and you won't get watered-down drinks. If you don't have a strainer, you can hold something over the top of the blender or food processor to block the ice, then slowly pour the water out. Store any left over ice in a plastic, sealable freezer bag, and put it in the freezer for when you need it next. Try to make your drinks as fast as possible, since crushed ice melts faster than bigger pieces. If you do freeze crushed ice, some of it will probably freeze back together. However, it will be easy to break it apart again by hitting it inside of the bag you stored it in.

article:
In the event you and your guy friend do end up as more than friends, you'll have to work to establish extra intimacy. In order to make it clear you're now more than friends, work to show you care.  Leave your guy friend surprises. Write him a special note telling him how much you care. Buy him a small present now and then. Be more physically affectionate. Seek to hold hands and cuddle when you're together. Sometimes, the transition between friends and more than friends can be confusing. It's a good idea to take measures to make sure your guy friend knows you want the relationship as much as he does.  It may be easier to communicate openly when you started out as friends. You can have open, honest discussions with your partner about what you want out of the relationship, and what expectations you have regarding a romantic relationship. At first, you may have to reassure your partner a lot that you want the relationship. Let your partner know about once a week for the first few months you're happy to be more than friends. Another way to solidify the transition is altering how you socialize. Try to stay together at parties. Interact with mutual friends as a couple instead of one-on-one. At parties, stay in the same conversations rather than talking to people individually. You'll feel more like a couple than friends if you start doing things as a "we" instead of a "you" and a "me." It can take time for a friendship to feel like a romance. Try not to have high expectations in regards to what your relationship will look like. It will take awhile to feel like more than friends, and there may be awkward or confusing interactions along the way. If you're committed to being more than friends, allow the transition to happen gradually. Stay patient and remember, if you really care about this person, the relationship will be worth it in the long run.
