Rejection Reaction Poll

Several friends of mine have been having the blows coming in hard and heavy recently, so rejection hs been on my mind. We often can't predict how we'll feel when it hits. And needless to say, some people are better psychologically suited to handle rejection than others (which can be said about telemarketing, as well) and they deal with it more easily, letting it just slide off their backs (duck/water analogy there for anyone who missed it.)

It takes all kinds to keep Nabisco and Keebler in business.

As long as the cookies aren't gone, there won't be any rioting.
