TROUBLESOME USERS
Managers tend to be attentive to people they like, and to avoid the ones that give them problems. Don't neglect your favorites, but as a rule, make sure to force yourself to be attentive to the problems of people you don't care for. To succeed, you have to win over the whole user group, not just the ones who cooperate.

IF YOUR FEET ARE COLD AT NIGHT
If your feet are cold at night, put on a hat. Most body heat is lost through an uncovered head. Too much clothing inside of a sleeping bag restricts blood flow. Well made sleeping bags will keep you warm without excess clothing - too much clothing interferes with that.
