If one thing is missing in your everyday cycle at work, or your work routine, you just can't stay focus for the rest of the day?
One good example, I have a co-worker and a close friend before. We guys are working on the same company that in this company everything is so way too stressful (well, all kinds of jobs have stress on it so it is inevitable). For one we can live on almost nothing; slow tools and programs, noisy bosses, lousy janitors, no internet access after work for Facebook and small lockers: except for shortage of coffee.
I myself, is a certified coffee fanatic. You can't take it away from me. I take all kinds from black to sweet and creamy. But I tend to get irritated if the free coffee at the office runs out. takes me 5-10 minutes to fall in line and buy.For once I was scolded for bringing a large headset with me for playing music (but I wouldn't worry a lot because I can still hear them as they're calling me), for they can't stand seeing me with that cocky Bluetooth headset that I am carrying along almost everywhere in the office.
Just sharing what I can't live without at work. In my point of view, if I wouldn't enjoy what I am doing at work then I might as well resign, right? There's this certain kind of characteristic in every person that makes them perform better at work when that have something or a certain routine to boost them in doing better. Coffee and MP3 boosts me. I am very much lively person and if you put me in a task that requires repetitive activities then I might die from boredom.
What activities at work or certain items you like to have the work when at work and why. Please share your thoughts. Thanks a lot ^_^-)

FRIENDS, also counts a lot. Have you ever felt of thinking; "If (name) was only here, he/ she would (fill in the blank what he/she does that makes you smile)" Working without your best bud at work or in the office will never be the same if they're absent or on leave.
Wow, good to see you too here in mylot and hope to chat with you soon about how we enjoy our working places. Thanks! Happy mylotting.

Hello! I am also a coffee lover so I need to have my coffee! But I don't like the classic filter coffee that they have at work so I buy my own double cappuccino from the coffee shop nearby, which also has a special discount for us. I also need my bottle of water and I can work like this for many hours! I take breaks only for going to the bathroom or smoke quickly sometimes.
What I don't like is when people interrupt me to say irrelevant things when I am under a lot pressure or I have a deadline. Unless of course they want to talk to me for something about to the job!

One of the training that we had is to learn to adapt to every situation including the absence of some conveniences in life. One of the inconveniences is the fact that we are being assigned in one place. Then, when the time comes that you were able to adapt to the new situation, new people and community, your will receive an order to transfer to another place. You have to start all over. Although its very hard for me but I have to learn these things. As long as I have my laptop with me, everything will be okay.

I also believe that there are certain stuff that we need to have to be able to function really well at work, or in anything that we need to do that requires our utmost concentration. I call these, my micro inspirations. Because I cannot really classify these as my inspiration for working and performing well, but I need them to be on track. For example, I need to have my coffee in the morning, and icy cold water throughout the day (I don't know but if the water isn't cold enough for me I get irritated. Maybe it has something to do with helping me calm and cool down after hearing from my staff's troubles). I also need to have that particular scientific calculator and not the one provided by the company, as well as my ruler and again not the one provided by the company. It just feels awkward for my hands if I'm punching in numbers on something that is so unlike my calculator. And that particular ruler is the one which doesn't have little nicks on the sides. I made sure that my own is straight-edged.
I know it sounds so silly but I can't help it if I'm doing something that is really really crucial and I will be using stuff or working in a condition that isn't really "inspiring" me.

I hate getting up early, the only way I can manage it is if I take a hot shower as soon as I wake up, which means I have to get up earlier.... but to me it's worth it.
