Today's words

eurytopic \yur-ih-TAH-pik\ - tolerant of wide variation in one or more environmental factors
Usually used of species, though may be applicable to coworkers, too, along with its antonym "stenotopic."
sangfroid\SAHNG-FRWAH\ - self-possession or imperturbability especially under strain
Likewise applicable to one's more agreeable coworkers.
factotum \fak-TOH-tuhm\ - 1. a person having many diverse activities or responsibilities  2. a general servant
And, in its first sense, applicable to me as a coworker. (Or, at least, I'd like to think so.)
