I like this word " quirk " I often use it as describing co-workers. Yes, in a social worker's life we have " quirks ". Perhaps its my contribution to Personal Relations. I am finding that using the saying, "We all have quirks" doesnt defeat a person's character. To me its acknowledging that we dont have to be alike or agree on everything; we have different points of view.

It seems to me that being in a profession where it seems the majority are women and being in an office primarily of women... quirks seem to pop up often. Im lucky with the group of people i work with now we seem to even things out pretty well.
