You can only bring it to your supervisor's attention if you also offer possible workable solutions.Sound good to you? Why? It seems to me if you have a viable solution why wouldn't you try it first to see if it works? That's what I always did. Something wasn't working efficiently so I examined it and figured out what it might take to make it right and I'd just do it. THEN I'd tell my boss what I encountered and how I solved it in case others encountered it too.If you have viable solutions why wouldn't you act on them before you bother anyone? Isn't that what you are paid to do? Figure things out? less

I wrote on a list to remind myself I had to get some money out and I had to buy milk... but seeing the two words together, it seemed ironic.. I think now people are generally more motivated towards milk and money than milk and honey. Agree or disagree?

When we talk about the newest electronic thingy gismos do we always go back to WHATTABOUT the pony express and telegraphs? When the subject is the military do we always go back to WHATTABOUT the days of arrowheads made of animal bone? NO! WE DON'T. We talk about what is today and stay on that subject. When it comes to politics brains turn to mush and many always WHATTABOUT what was as bad or worse. What does that have to do with anything? Why keep justifying awful today by pointing out to the awful of yesterday? How is that helpful? What is the point? Why do some people ALWAYS ONLY EVER do that? What a waste of time! Maybe that's the point. Just kill time by talking about the irrelevant inconsequential minutiae so you don't have to deal straight on with the monsters right in front of you TODAY. I see. No actually I don't see. less

They are the ones who will never have enough and always take more.We have the HAVE NOTS who when they are fortunate enough to get what they need they feel blessed and appreciative and grateful. They do not want to take what others have. They are satisfied. Are you one of the lucky ones who have enough and do not want to take away what others have?

It would just mean that wrongdoing wouldn't be pretzelized or denied or lied about or transformed into something grand and wonderful. You did wrong you'd own up to it on the spot. No excuses. Wouldja like it or despise it?

So if "success" is your cuppa tea throw away all your past inhibitions and JUST DO IT! Sigh. Sad though.

Well I thought Jim's were very cute, very charming, very adorable and never annoying. Easy peasy proof. How about you? What proved it to you?
