What type of people do you like to work with?
I like to work with people who bring snacks to share with co-workers!
I really like your list, Jon. I've had occasion to work with groups of people with those qualities in the past, and it truly makes work a joy!

Great list Jon!
I like to work with people who are willing to work with me (as in people who collaborate).
Actually, at the moment I've got a longer list of people I hate working with ;)
I l o v e my job at times...
But the positive, is that there are some people that I love working with!

Mike, Yeah, sign me up for the snacks! Thank you, it is more of a wish list at this point in time... sadly.
Chris, sounds like we're in the same boat... I like your addition!
Jon

I like to work with people who like to work. (because most people don't)
yeah, you'll probably have to read that a few times to really get it.

Actually Jim, I think I may just get your point - it's really exciting to work with people who give as much a damn about a certain project as you do, who actualyl realise that there is a mountain of work to wade through, but they're still eager to just get on and do the job and kick some serious ass.
I also like to work with people who listen.
Oh, and people who have a sense of humour and can recognise that sometimes when the going gets tough it's OK to laugh can come work with me any day.

Jim, I get it... and it is a great point!
Claire, I like to work with those type of people as well! Nothing is ever as bad as it first seems, right?
