Today is Appreciation Day here in the office. The Human Resources Dept. prepared "Thank You" cards so all employees can get some and give them to people they greatly appreciate. I took four cards and gave them to my teammates...

Comagirl I think thats a really nice idea, but it would depend on the workplace, I hope someone in management is keeping an eye out to ensure no one is excluded or left out... In my workplace there are only 10 of us and we just try to remember to say thank you to those...

Comagirl Its very hard to advise without more knowledge of your set up, but one thing that had me flummoxed for a while was the fact my laptop apparently has a hard external wireless switch which at some point got flicked to 'off' without my knowledge!

Hi everyone, I always wanted to have a touch screen computer, just thought the idea was great and that it will be more exciting and easier to use. And then I saw it being featured on TV and I got very excited. Who among here likes...

Comagirl My sister succumbed and bought one, and it is indeed a gorgeous and sexy bit of kit! But in terms of functionality, there are a number of bugs and limitations that the earliest adopters are paying the (high) price for - essentially they are beta testing a...

Many of us here use content companies as additional income or part of our income. The thing about some content companies, especially the ones that are ghostwriting (no byline) services, unlike print publications will not pay...

Comagirl Absolutely right. If you have delivered on-brief, and they change their mind or want additional versions, then that's new work and comes with a new bill. Don't let anyone exploit your talents and goodwill unfairly!

I was just looking for vacancies over at odesk awhile ago and i noticed how low the rates Filipinos were offered for their services, which shockingly, some providers actually consented to and worked for. This is really a sad fact...

Comagirl I totally agree. I too write on oDesk, but not often, because frankly few people can afford me! That sounds really arrogant, but I do have minimum rates I need to make as a professional writer, and only turn to online work of this nature between retained...

I know there are Mylotters from all over the world contributing here, and I'd be very interested in your thoughts on my situation. I have two daughters, 5 and 10 years, and we are English and lived in Spain for 2 years. So far...

Comagirl Yes, in my area of Spain the first language is Valenciano, and the girls will have to learn that at school too. Although we have been careful to choose a school who's primary language of communication is Castellano, so we can communicate with them! In time...

Comagirl An excellent point, I am sure a great deal of our inherent laziness as language learners stems from the global use and recognition of English. Personally I believe that UK schools ought to start language teaching much earlier than they do, and also that...

Comagirl Certainly I agree, it's a major flaw in the UK economy, that so few of the population have second language skills. You clearly write excellent English, the kind of language skills that are so hard to acquire as an adult, and have to be absorbed as a child......

Nowadays, when you live in a country whose employment opportunity is scarce, you are often times left with no choice but to that overseas. You are then forced to leave your kids under the custody of a family member or someone you...

Comagirl I think all kids need consistency and boundaries to make them feel safe. I know a number of single parents, men and women, who do an awesome job of bringing up children who feel totally secure and loved - and it's a dreadful thing to say but I think many of...

Comagirl No, I operate my company's page on facebook with nearly 2000 fans and as such I regularly get requests from people who think that makes them a personal friend of mine as well! I hope they are not offended when I ignore them but I use Facebook a lot on a...

How about you? Am I the only one? Who else feel that the world owes them something. It may sound so self absorb but sometimes I really feel that way. Who else feels the same way.

Comagirl I believe we are all responsible for our own actions, and that it is not wrong to be clear about what you want and go for it - provided it doesnt hurt anyone else or infringe their human rights, then if you find yourself holding back, you have to ask yourself...
