Micromanagement

The World of Dilbert

What does it say about you if you are a micromanager?  Do you really want to know?  It says that you are insecure, that you don't know what you are doing...  Being a micromanager is really not a good thing.

Over the years I've worked for great bosses and I've worked for bad ones.  The worst boss I ever had wanted to write me up because my electric stapler was too loud...  The same electric stapler that everyone else on the floor had...  The one that I only used for five minutes a day...  Talk about Cruella Deville...

Back then I was attending a finance series and told my class about it.  They told me to send the email to Dilbert so he could write a cartoon about it.  I have yet to see it though. 

Christmas...

is coming!

So Thanksgiving has come and went.  And I think that we all have had our fill of Thanksgiving turkey and sides.  Now is the time for leftovers and gearing up for the upcoming holidays which is coming up so much sooner than we realize.  I hope you enjoyed your time with your loved ones this past holiday and enjoy the rest of your weekend!  :)

Family Time

Zoo Animals

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble!  Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!  It's super amazing how fast this year went by.  I have to admit that I simply wasn't ready for it.  I'm actually planning to do some fall cleaning and rearranging before heading out to dinner at a friends and a movie later.  Take care and God bless you all!

Once Was Blind

But Now I See

What do Ginny Owens and Fanny Crosby have in common?  Both are talented female songwriters but they are both also blind.  Being blind didn't stop them from living their dream or sharing their music with the world.  What would we do without music in this world?  

Renew Your Mind

And Get Your Mind Out of the Gutter

Garbage In, Garbage Out...  What you put into your mind is what you will get out of it.  If you take in good then you become good.  If you take in bad then you become bad.  Good health is highly valued in our society and we have so many people spouting out the effects of fruits, vegetables, raw foods...  However how many people really care what they put into your mind?  If someone could read your thoughts would you be embarrassed?  Would you be ashamed?  Food for thought...

Santa Clause

Knows...

Who's been naughty or nice.  But do you know who really knows?  God!  He will always know what you are thinking and what you are doing.  And you will be judged accordingly.  What you do and how you treat people matters because some day what goes around comes around and when it does it will most likely bite you in the butt!

Dream Anchor

Love Blue

The Blue Pill

Or the Red Pill

So which will it be?  Some people would rather know the truth as hurtful as it may be but others would rather just keep their heads in the sand and go on pretending to believe what they want to believe.  Unfortunately that is not really living in reality.  Yeah the truth hurts but in the long run you will be better off.

Bad Moms

Vs A Good Mother

We laugh at movies like Bad Moms but sadly enough there are people in this world that were simply not meant to be parents.  Being a parent takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.  Some mothers value their creature comforts over that of their children but other mothers put their children's creature comforts ahead of their own.  If you are the type of person that would rather do your own thing rather than spend time with your child than you know what your priorities are:  Selfish rather than selfless.   

I have friends who have children and they simply gave up a lot of the stuff they used to do when they became parents.  They only traveled if it was required for work and if their child became sick they would drop everything to be by their side.  Being a parent is a learning curve but hopefully in the end you have a child that loves you.

A Vow

Of Love

It's always interesting to me the number of times some people get married.  Because when they got married they obviously didn't mean for better for worse.  Obviously you still haven't found what you are looking for if you are still looking while you are married. 

Don't settle in the first place and don't marry someone because you are lonely, because you want money, because you don't want someone to know what a real jerk you are.  Because admit it if you are fooling around on your spouse then you really are a jerk. 

Do you understand the dynamics of supply and demand? Do you value your self-worth?  Or are you just a cheap trinket that will put out for any Tom, Dick, or Harry?  And it works both ways...

Thorny Remembrance

All Things Roses

The Big Question???

Needs an Answer!

Anybody in there?  Do we know who won the election?  Do we want to know?  A friend of mine told me that an Amish man went to vote for the first time and found out that he was already registered a Democrat and had voted in previous years which was news to him.  Shaking my head...  In the land of the free we should at least be able to vote for who we want to vote for rather than people voting for others without their knowing it.  

New Year's Resolutions...

Tad Late!

So I decided that this year I would not write any New Year's Resolutions because I still had so many to do from previous years.  However I realize that it is now November and I still need to cross things off my to do list.  Thankfully I have crossed some things off but life goes by too fast.  Like really too fast!  Enjoy the extra hour today. 

Happy November :)

Daylight Savings is Coming!

Do we spring forward or fall back?  Obviously fall back.  And it's going to happen this coming Sunday which means that it is going to get a lot darker a whole lot sooner.  This is good for people who work at night and can enjoy the daylight but not good for people who work during the day and go home at night.
