Write an article based on this "Maintain a polite and civil manner. Try working with (rather than against) competitive colleagues. Talk to your colleagues. Speak directly to your boss."
article: As tempting as it can be to react in the heat of the moment, try your best to be friendly and civil. Reacting harshly (even when this reaction is justified) can often backfire, encouraging the offender to react to you in worse ways than before. On the other hand, if you remain calm (and don't give them the emotional reaction they're seeking). They may stop trying to get a rise out of you.  Also, sometimes when an over-competitive co-worker notices that you don't intend them harm, they'll feel more motivated to treat you nicely in return. Friendly casual conversation, especially around non-competitive or non-work subjects, can help. If your colleague is openly competitive, think of the ways that you can harness that. For example, it can often be a useful tactic to ask them for their advice and ideas about things they talk about or do, rather than assuming they're going to run away with all the glory. This flatters them, as well as giving you an opportunity to learn from them. Openly competitive colleague types include:  The superstar – this competitive co-worker always needs to shine and will go above and beyond the call of duty to do so. The weightlifter – this competitive co-worker shoulders responsibility by taking on extra workloads. The speeder – this competitive co-worker wants it done yesterday. This can be beneficial in terms of morale and motivation. Discuss their feelings concerning team morale and management support. Try to gauge their general feelings and understandings. Be careful not to name call or theorize without actual facts. Later, if you feel there is enough concern, you could consider raising the particular issue of competitiveness for a general discussion. Find out what his or her strategy is with respect to teamwork and shared outcomes in the workplace. Consider pointing out to your boss that a team encouraged to do well as a whole benefits the organization, especially where those who are not performing as well are given help and advice from those who are performing well. You could also talk to higher level management or human resources if you're concerned that your workplace environment is too divisive.

Unless you happen to have a backup car seat, it is important to start the cleaning process when you are sure you will not need it for awhile. Assuming the seat isn't so dirty as to need immediate attention, wait until you feel comfortable doing without the seat for at least several hours. An ideal time might be after your infant has been put to bed for the night. If, however, you're dealing with vomit, a blown-out diaper, or some other big mess, immediate "triage" cleaning is the best way to salvage the seat. Using baby wipes or damp rags or paper towels, wipe and scoop away any loose, sloppy, sticky, chunky, etc. debris.  (We'll leave the details of the types of messes you can face to the imagination.) Clearing away this gunk will make the remaining cleaning portion easier to manage. Untie all the straps, and uninstall the seat. Doing so will allow you to wash the seat thoroughly without climbing into the car and getting everything wet. You’ll also be able to easily reach all the parts of the infant seat. Take note of the de-installation to help you with the re-installation.  Take pictures if necessary. Brush crumbs and debris off the car seat. Give the seat a shake to remove any hidden crumbs or other debris that has accumulated. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a small attachment, use it to remove any additional debris that may be stuck in partition walls and corners. Most infant car seats have removable fabric covers. If you have your manual handy, consult it.  If not, you can generally start from the top, unfastening clips, snaps, and buttons until you reach the bottom of the seat.  Once you have taken the cover off, you should also take off the straps. Try to memorize their location (or take a picture) so that you know how to put them back into place (this is especially important if you do not have your manual). For safety reasons, harness straps (and buckles, to a lesser extent) require special and gentle cleaning.  See the relevant section of this article for more information, and always consult your owner's manual.
