It Got Me to Thinking

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 23 Jul

Fleur @Fleura (29833) • United Kingdom 18 Jul

One of the announcements our new government has made about their intended new policies will be the right to flexible working for everyone. Luckily they have added the caveat ‘as far as is reasonable’. Phew. Yes it’s handy for...

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 9 Jul

Well, the list will undoubtedly grow. Because of all of this rain, looking out at the back at the pool, I can already tell I will have to spend some time not just adjusting chemicals, and probably running the vacuum a bit, but...

Would things be better with teamwork?

Shavkat @Shavkat (137973) • Philippines 7 Apr

When I was still working in my previous jobs, I usually worked with teams. As they said, "Two heads are better than one" in doing certain projects. On the contrary, I prefer to work alone if the team does not need to. What do...

Why Is Life So Hard?

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 22 Feb

Very simply put, because it is supposed to be. As the old saying goes, "The struggle is real." The harder it is, the more challenging it is. The more motivated we are supposed to become to find a better path and reduce the...

First In, Last Out

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 21 Jan

It used to be almost a rule back in the day if you were a manager. You were first in and last out. Period. You don't own the business, and your job is to manage the process, direct the flow, and deal with any issues. It is never...

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 13 Jan

In my office, there was a sign on my wall that read, "Sometimes the best guy to have on your side is the guy who will not always be on your side." I kept it on my wall for a reason. It's a message. And in some ways, a...

It's Just Their Job

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 7 Jan

I find having to have my receipt checked when I am exiting a Walmart store to be highly annoying, and many people agree with me. At the same time, it's their policy, they are entitled to it, and the people who work the doors are...

All The Places I've Worked

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 9 Nov

I'm only 50, and while I use the term for my current status as "retired," I get antsy. And so, I am almost sure I will return to the workforce in some capacity, even if it is not full time. Plus, why not make money if I can even...

Like It Never Even Happened

Jim Bauer @porwest (85968) • United States 9 Nov

No. I am not referencing the popular commercial on TV advertising Servpro's cleaning and restoration services. I am talking about the leaves in the yard that become a recurring task every fall. I never rake them, opting to simply...
