In last December's initial public offering, the average winning... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Product Description Being saddled with a terrible supervisor can turn even the best job into a nightmare. Unfortunately, not every boss is the great symbol of managerial perfection one would hope for. In fact, more people than not consider themselves stuck with a "bad boss." But short of remaining miserable or quitting a job, what can be done about it? "A Survival Guide for Working with Bad

After many months of passing-by the shop and promising to try out "next time", hubby and I finally decide to eat at Bosses one late night.Either because it's near closing or because they didn't have enough staffs, we stood outside the shop for quite sometime before someone spotted us.We ordered tea, congee and some side dishes.The food arrived first and I was slightly pissed that they forgot about our tea. We had to remind them that they have yet to serve us our tea, but after that "reminder", they kept refilling our teapot. lol.Wasabi Mayo Prawn my favourite dish that night.Beef that's tasty and not tough! Yummy..My congee. A few days after that night, hubby went all the way to Vivocity to buy the same congee for me when I was down with flu and didn't feel like eating anything.Hubby's con

No, not another insult to throw on the picket lines, Paul Caplan has an interesting update about which CEOs are blogging and how they're getting on.Not that many are, Paul calls it:imagine the leap of faith needed by a Boss. Like King Theoden in Lord of the Rings, they have their own (usually paid) Wormtongues whispering in their ears.But the ones doing it are enthusiastic. Hardly surprising because CEOs tend to like to, well, speak and give their opinions!And as Steve says:They make it easier for those of us who are talking to the frontline troops in the public sector and saying: “Yes it’s OK to get out there and have conversations. Yes it’s OK to talk like a human being and tell stories.” Because now we can add: “… because look, your Boss is doing it!”He has lots of links t

Most of us spend one-third of our time a day at work. Deducting the average eight-hour sleeping time, we spend at least half of our waking time at work.

It is such a serious case. More than 1000 jobs are lost. Some of the firm's 500,000 private and corporate policyholders have been given a total of £357m from the Financial Services Authority's compensation scheme since the collapse. A former insurance chief has been jailed for seven years after being convicted of defrauding investors. Michael Bright, 63, was in charge of Independent Insurance when it collapsed in 2001 in one of the industry's most high-profile insolvencies. Finance director Dennis Lomas received a four-year sentence. Deputy manager Philip Condon was given three years. A jury had heard how the trio masked the firm's financial problems by withholding details of claims. Probe About 1,000 jobs were lost in the collapse of the company - which had previously been regarded as a financial success story. The three men were charged in December 2005 after a probe by the Serious Fraud Office and City of London police into the firm's closure. The SFO said t

Monitoring your friends moods and movements is costing the Australian economy up to $5 billion a year, estimates an internet security company. The culprit, of course is Facebook. So what to do? Ban Facebook during company hours? Ah, well, no. SurfControl chairman Richard Cullen told Australian radio that banning Facebook from work computers was not necessarily the best way to combat time wasting, as the site encouraged socializing, which in turn made people happier to work longer hours. So, it would seem Facebook doesn’t cost the company $5 billion after all, they just have to keep their doors open a little longer or earlier for their happy little employees. The Reuters story is here: Facebook surfers cost their bosses billions

Resident Evil 2 was for many years considered the epitome of survival horror greatness. It stood as the horror game all others strived to be. And for good reason. Capcom’s classic, Resident Evil 2, was improved by leaps and bounds over it’s predecessor. You had a significantly more complex narrative, that included a large cast of all-new characters in a deep and involving storyline that intertwined with each other. Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy each received their own pair of scenarios, and during each one you ran into a new pair of sub-characters, Ada Wong and Sherry Berkin, the latter of whom was daughter to a whole new host of characters directly involved in the creation of an all-new G-virus by Umbrella. And it wasn’t just storyline and character development (not to mention spoken dialogue) that was improved, you also gained a wider variety of weapons, there were more secrets to unlock (including two entirely new scenarios, HUNK and “Tofu”) and t

Two of Formula 1's leading figures, supremo Bernie Ecclestone and Renault boss Flavio Briatore, have been linked to separate takeover bids at two of England's football clubs. Ecclestone admitted on Saturday that he is interested in buying Premier League club Arsenal, while Briatore has reportedly held talks with fellow London side Queen’s Park Rangers about taking control of the struggling Championship outfit. Arsenal is the only one of the country's recognised "big four' clubs not more…

i was having such a good day until a few minutes ago. One of the managers from the texting company I work for just sent me a nasty email about my work today. Whats really pissing me off is I have been doing things the exact same way for 9 straight months (since I started on that server) and no one has complained until now. She sent me this email saying she has flagged my account about there being a problem with my work and if it happens again she is going to contact a higher up. I can’t tell you what its like to feel like your doing such a good job and all of a sudden you have someone tell you your not! if I didn’t still need that job I would tell them to go F*ck themselves. Unfortunately I do need that job though. If I won the lottery tonight I would send all of the managers and moderators a mass message telling them exactly what I think of them. That would feel so good. And I would include in that message that I had just won 66 million in the lottery. Thats what

As is always the case with completely unnecessary studies of this type, the results can hardly be news to anyone. The study in question, released last Friday, revealed the astonishing shocker that being a "bad boss" who makes subordinates miserable at work is a good way to get ahead in the workplace. Lesson learned: Be an arrogant, ambitious, tyrannical asshole and get promoted. Be nice to people and remain stuck in the same dead-end job for the rest of your life (reminds me of The Drew Carey Show, one of the best sitcoms ever after Frasier): In the study to be presented at a conference on management this weekend, almost two-thirds of the 240 participants in an online survey said the local workplace tyrant was either never censured or was promoted for domineering ways. "The fact that 64.2 percent of the respondents indicated that either nothing at all or something positive happened to the bad leader is rather remarkable -- remarkably disturbing," wrote the study's authors, Anthony Do

Relax, this would not turn ugly or sounds like I’m bashing our Malaysian Malay women (wanita Melayu) like what most perceived in my last few postings. :-) This posting is for all Malaysians in general. I know it would be hard for some to admit it but we are a lousy and lazy bunch of workers at work. Even Malaysian cabinet ministers have their lazy days from time to time. If there’s anybody out

Scott Speed says he has resigned himself to losing his Toro Rosso drive, and has slammed the team bosses for not giving him or team-mate Vitantonio Liuzzi more support. Toro Rosso refused to confirm Speed and Liuzzi as its 2007 drivers for much of the winter as it sought guarantees over their commitment and performance. The team has also given Champ Car star Sebastien Bourdais several tests, and has been strongly linked to BMW test driver Sebastian Vettel, who has a long-term contract with more…

Spyker bosses were encouraged by the race pace displayed by Adrian Sutil in the US Grand Prix. The young German made a remarkable start to vault from the back row of the grid to 13th place and then held his own in the midfield group, staying with Alex Wurz’s Williams and keeping the chasing pack at bay. Although he later fell behind some drivers on a one-stop strategy, Sutil was satisfied with his afternoon’s work. “We had a solid base set-up and after a great start I could really more…

first let me say that the easiest way to clear trash is this... gather some up, fellowship conjunction - 5 reds/1 green. nice aoe w/ 1 minute HoT.now, to bosses:Assign Crowd Control (if necessary)Tank n' Spank (interrupt casting if possible, animations are usually very clear)Fellowship Conjunction = 3 blues/3 greens (having the tank and healer/s on greens is the easiest way to assign colors)Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Collect Loots.keep in mind that this strategy is working near-to flawlessly on 6man instances. havent tried it on any raid instances yet, but i'd assume we'll find a lot of 5+1 to ease the healers a little, and get a damage boost.btw, if anyone from turbine reads this:imo, fellowship conjunctions work exactly as planned. but when a boss has 30k+ health, and all you have to do is beat on him and take down an add or two, its too easy. more adds would be great (a few sigs is better than 1 annoying elite). and knockback, thats a great way to disorganize people. especially if it

If I were a chief of staff in the Bush administration, I would be worried. Of late, the line between "fall guy" and "stand-up guy" seems to be drawn at the chief of staff's door. Two chiefs have gone down in the last two weeks. First, Vice President Cheney's former top man, Scooter Libby, was convicted on four of five counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements. Meanwhile, Cheney remains (no matter that the prosecutor in the case said a cloud continues to hang over the vice president). This week, Kyle Sampson resigned as chief of staff to Alberto Gonzales for not disclosing the role of the White House in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. Gonzales still has his job, and the president fully supports him (though the cloud over the attorney general could be picked up by Doppler).

The Frogs desiring a King(Illus by Harrison Weir, John Tenniel, Ernest Griset)The Frogs were living as happy as could be in a marshy swampthat just suited them; they went splashing about caring fornobody and nobody troubling with them. But some of themthought that this was not right, that they should have a kingand a proper constitution, so they determined to send up apetition to Jove to give them what they wanted. "Mighty Jove,"they cried, "send unto us a king that will rule over us and keepus in order." Jove laughed at their croaking, and threw downinto the swamp a huge Log, which came down splashing intothe swamp. The Frogs were frightened out of their lives bythe commotion made in their midst, and all rushed to the bankto look at the horrible monster; but after a time, seeing that itdid not move, one or two of the boldest of them ventured outtowards the Log, and even dared to touch it; still it did notmove. Then the greatest hero of the Frogs jumped upon theLog and commenced d

The Wolf and the Lamb(Illus by Harrison Weir, John Tenniel, Ernest Griset)Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside,when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb justbeginning to drink a little lower down. "There's my supper,"thought he, "if only I can find some excuse to seize it."Then he called out to the Lamb, "How dare you muddlethe water from which I am drinking?""Nay, master, nay," said Lambikin, "if the water be muddyup there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down fromyou to me.""Well, then," said the Wolf, "why did you call me bad namesthis time last year?""That cannot be," said the Lamb, "I am only six months old.""I don't care," snarled the Wolf, "if it was not you it was yourfather;" and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb andWARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA ate her all up.But before she died she gasped out "Any excuse will serve atyrant."Moral:The tyrant will always find an excuse for his acts of tyranny.Kidding me:If the lamb is so s
