Summarize the following:
We all have our down days. But when it comes to toxic people, the blues are a constant rain cloud. And they want everyone to be just as wet and miserable as them. If you never see emotions other than anger, sadness, and jealousy, it is best to steer clear of that personality. Keep an eye out for the following toxic traits: Jittery, nervous energy. Constant whining and complaining Clinginess and dependency Criticism, usually aimed everywhere Negative or cynical worldview And in extreme cases, abuse When you walk into the store to buy a new box of Cheerios, you know immediately what kind of mood the cashier is in. You can see it, even feel it, in your interaction. You can do this with your friends and coworkers, too! Even if you don't see the tell-tale signs, you know when something is off, and you know to avoid some people. Trust yourself -- there are plenty of happy people out there without trying out all the sourpusses. Listen to the sounds made, more than what people actually say. You can hear it when someone is just going through the motions. How do people relate to you? What do they seem to be thinking when they speak? Bad body language looks like a sullen, sulky teenager -- shoulders down, lack of eye-contact, big, hostile gestures, etc. Good body language looks like George Washington across the Delaware: back straight, chin up, shoulders back, etc. Anger, shouting, and negative criticism are major signs of a toxic personality. Angry people sometimes need a lot of help, but it's not your job to be their punching bag. It is definitely not your job to try and fix them! Staying around a person like this will cause you to become angry too. So kick back and find someone else to talk to: you'll have a lot more fun. People who have control over their emotions don't usually feel the need to shout, so watch out for the loud ones. Watch out for quiet, simmering anger as well. Some people won't say much, but will use poor body language and bottle it up instead. These people lash out at odd times, when anger doesn't seem called for. Luckily, this is basically a neon "Personal BioHazard" sign. If you have to work with angry people, never stoop to anger -- you'll just rile them up further. Keep in professional, polite, and quick, and just walk out if they lose their temper. They'll hate you for it, but they'll learn their lesson sooner or later. Do you know someone who finds the darkness in everything? Much like your parents on Thanksgiving, misery loves company. These people will always complain about something, never see the good in anything, and claim they hate everything. It's exhausting just thinking about it, which is why they'll try to drag you into their little pity party. People with very negative worldview will often be competitive about their misery, trying to outdo other people's sadness. This is the worst. Watch out for people who constantly, even gleefully, talk about their failures and sadness. Anyone who criticizes the failures of others, or seems overly cynical, might have a toxic personality worth avoiding. Insecure people are unable to create their own sense of self-worth, and often cling on to others to get it. While not always toxic, these reality-TV hopefuls can get nasty when they don't get the attention they crave. If you don't give it to them, they'll find a way to make it themselves. And no one needs that kind of drama in their life. Humble-brags ("I can't believe I only made fifteen sales today") and obsessive posting might be a sign of this toxic personality. These kinds of people often "one-up" everyone around them, or always swing conversation back to something about them. Instead of supporting others, gossips feed on envy. Gossip can be thrilling sometimes (duh), making you feel close with your fellow gossipers. If you've ever gotten caught up in gossip, you're not alone. But you should know that, once your back is turned, constant gossipers will start talking about you. Gossipers constantly compare themselves to others, which is a good way to set yourself up for disappointment and failure. Don't worry about your neighbors, worry about your own backyard.

summary: Spot the toxic waste before it gets too close. Trust your gut-- if someone makes you upset and uncomfortable, make some space. Pay attention to body language and tone of voice. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for hotheads. Stay away from the cynics. Stand away from the attention seekers. Keep the gossip girls and rumor mill men at bay.

Summarize the following:
Small surface cracks and chips that don't go all the way through the granite can be unsightly, but they don't pose a threat to the longevity of your granite surface. In fact, small cracks that go with the grain of the granite, called fissures, are a normal aspect of the stone. If you can only see a hairline crack from a very specific angle and you can't feel it when you run your hand across the surface, then it is likely that the crack is completely harmless and can be left alone. To ensure that these small imperfections do not become more unsightly, be sure to seal your granite regularly, usually once a year. In order to make the repair blend in with the rest of the slab, you will need to color the glue to match it. This is done by using some of the granite to color the glue. To create granite dust, use a grinder with a diamond grinding bit to go over the surface of a matching piece of granite. The fine dust created is what you will use. You will need no more than 2 teaspoons of granite powder to repair most cracks under 1 foot (0.30m) long. If you have an extra piece of the counter top material, you can use this. You can also remove a bit of granite dust from an area that is not visible, such as the underside of a counter top. Wear a dust mask that is rated for this type of particulate. Cover the area all around the chip or crack so that the filler will not get all over the surface. Use painter's tape or any other tape product that can hold up to epoxy or resin, and yet will come off the granite easily when you are done. Mask off to within 18 inch (0.32cm) around the whole crack or chip so that cleaning up will be easier. Follow the directions supplied with the epoxy you are using, which typically includes mixing a set amount of each part of the epoxy with each other. Then add the granite dust until the product is a thick paste that is the same general color as the granite. Pick an epoxy that states on its packaging that it can be used for granite or stone repair. Use a wooden paint mixer or other disposable tool with at least 1 flat side to mix the epoxy. Tongue depressors work exceptionally well for this job. This tool will then also be used for applying the epoxy to the crack. Smear the epoxy into the crack or chip until it is filled. You can do this with the tool you used to mix the epoxy. Then smooth it out as much as you can, as any bumps will need to be sanded down. The epoxy does tend to shrink a bit while drying, so it's better to over-fill the crack than to under-fill it.
summary: Determine whether the crack or chip needs to be repaired at all. Collect matching granite dust. Mask off the area. Mix 2-part epoxy and the granite dust. Apply the epoxy.
