Discuss what business supplies help your business be at the top of it's game. | Stapler or Paper clips | | When I used to work in an office, or maybe even now I work from home, I have these 2 items on my desk. I will use lots of paper clips for those stuff that I am compiling, and a stapler once it's confirm. I hate having the used staples (bullets) on my table. I have a colleague who only uses staplers as she finds that having paper clips is not good as the paper will still have the tendency to move around, and she ended up having lots of hole on her paper, since she keep removing the staples. What about you? Do you use just one of these or both?
Happy Sharing, Thanks for responding.. and Happy MyLotting..[em]happy[/em] | |
| | I stepped on a staple!! | | I can't believe it happened but I am glad it was me and not my son!A piece of art work that was brought home from school by my son ended up on the floor and I did not notice it! I guess the teacher must have displayed it on a bulletin board before sending it home and it had a staple in it which went right into my heal and was very painful...Thankfully I am O.K tetanis shot wise....So, has anything like this ever happened to you?
Perhaps you stepped on a nail or some old metal of some kind...Where were you when it happened and what were you doing when the item went in...did it involve a trip to the hospital?Please share!Thanks in advance!~Heavens~ | |
| | How do you deal with work place bullying? | | I unfortunately work in a toxic environment. I love my job, however, there is a small group of women who love to make my life miserable. I just recently got back to work after being off for 6 months from having back surgery, and I have yet to even receive a hello. There have been many incidents from general rude behavior, being completing ignored, to disappearing staplers, files, to snooping, etc. My replacement even had soap put in her milk. I have always taken the high road and always acted like nothing bothered me. Now, I don't even bother trying to be nice or talk to them. If they were to actually talk to me i would be nice of course. I am just wondering whether or not anyone else has had to deal with this adolescent behavior, what you would do if you were in a similar situation, and what kind of advice would you give me. | |
| | Arne Duncan, child abuser, for Education Secretary?! | | What in the world is wrong with this new government?! Here is the link to the article: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2183296/postsHere are a few excerpts: "The 2 Investigators found reports of students beaten with broomsticks, whipped with belts, yard sticks, struck with staplers, choked, stomped on and pushed down stairs. One substitute teacher even fractured a student's neck.But even more alarming, in the vast majority of cases, teachers found guilty were only given a slap on the wrist."""Any founded allegation where an adult is hitting a child, hitting a student - they're going to be gone," Duncan said.But that's not what happened under Duncan's watch. Of the 568 verified cases, only 24 led to termination. Records show one teacher who quote "battered students for several years" was simply given a "warning" by the Board of Education."So we've had 3 tax cheats, one of which was confirmed and now we get a child abuser for our Secretary of Education.What is wrong with this administration? Don't they check out a person before they nominate him or do they just not care?

| | I express myself through sandwich artistry, what do you do? | | Well, sort of. See, I've been making sandwiches for several years though the part-time jobs that I've held to make some cash.At one of these jobs, my co-workers and I would express our attitude toward certain customers by how we made their sandwiches. No, we didn't put any nasty ingredients (like bodily fluids or hair) into them.However, especially with delivery orders (since customers weren't there to see us make the sandwich) we'd write secret messages on the bun with the squirt mustard. These messages were typically curse words or pictures of body parts.Silly, of course. But it was fun and one of many small things that helped to reduce our frustration with working in the service industry and also helped us have fun.What sorts of little things do you, or your co-workers, do to relieve some stress or anger while at work? Do you constantly remove the staplers from your boss's stapler? Do you purposely move things around to annoy another person? Do you have an unspoken and funny routine, or song that you all lip synch to? Anything?Or, as an alternative if your job sucks so much that you can't think of any little things, use this space to rant about your job.... | |
| | A healthy level of insanity | | A friend of mine sent me this list on how to maintain a healthy level of insanity. Honestly, I tried some of them and I added some to the list. I encourage you to do the same.How to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity...

3) Every time someone asks you to do something ask them if they want fries with that.
4) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in".

| | Politics And Positive Thinking?? | | Can it be true that every government is 'evil' or only selfish and self seeking? I mean sure, the pencils, pens and staplers they take home from work may be bigger than the ones others take home from work.. And I'm not saying it's ok to do so, or that I do! But people do!! Does that mean they are totally evil and have no true concerns for the world? No I think we've been sold a bill of goods.. Sure there's differnt ranges in the selfish and non selfishly motivated.. But isn't it true that the political parties demonize each other, for the sake of getting votes? But really, instead of one party being 'good' and another, being 'evil' isn't it more true that they merely have differing concerns? And perhaps way of looking at the world? Common sense tells me that like most people, it's a blend of 'right' and 'wrong'.. and there's never just one side to an argument or issue.. | |

| | How much do you carry in your handbag? | | I was shocked to find out recently that a lot of my friends carry a lot of unecessary junk in their handbags.
I usually carry:
-lipbalm
-phone
-purse
-pen
-diary
-keys
-ipod
-books if i'm going to college
-a bottle of water
But my friends carry around items such as:
-random stationary like pencils and staplers
-notebooks
-lots of make-up which in my opinion only needs one application a day eg. mascara
-tissues
-hairbrush
-mints
-painkillers
-umberella
-spare pair of shoes (!)
-gum
-plasters
-safety pins
-business cards
-mirror
-maps
-address book
-perfume
I personally think some of those are crazy! Do you carry around any of these items? Why? How do you fit it all in your bag? | |
