Beware of an Angry Boss

Each worker has a boss. Lucky for some who have a very nice boss, but lots of luck for those who have otherwise. Bad and difficult bosses can really be a complex situation in a workplace. According to William Krug, a professor at Purdue University, "Although there are many different kinds of bosses, bad boss behavior usually stems from the supervisor throwing his or her power around. Some even take a certain delight in being difficult."

There are ways on how to deal with a bad and angry boss:

* Make sure you are accurate. Always make sure that you are familiar with what you are saying and that your facts and figures are right. If what you are saying is inaccurate, it gives your boss an edge, even if the way he or she is treating you is wrong.

• Always document. Presenting facts is a great way to circumvent the emotional thought process that often goes on between boss and employee. Documentation has been made easier with e-mail because it gives you a clear trail of what happened, when it happened and what action was taken, which can help prove you are not at fault.

• In a dispute, allow your boss to be the decision maker. If you say, 'The only thing we can do is this,' that can make a boss angrier. But if you can offer a few options, that can help diffuse the situation.

Got a bad experience with an angry boss. I should say the experience is something not really terrible but makes me say "grrr..." just by thinking about it. Do you think being shouted at on the phone and then slammed is just okay? If being followed up with nonsense things when I am in the midst of a very busy work and beating deadlines is okay, then I don't want to even imagine what a bad boss can do.

Eight Things...(tag from Lena)

For the first time I am being tagged in the blogosphere. It is from Lena and here it goes...

You share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then at the end you tag at least 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

Rules:

* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Now, the 8 facts:

1. I am a government employee.
2. I am crazy about romantic comedy films.
3. I am a chocoholic.
4. Took the board exam only once.
5. A Dance-erous gurl...
6. Had my three babies all under normal delivery
7. I don't like pickles
8. was once a seriously Scottie Pippen fanatic!

And n0w I am going to tag Katherine, Jen, Jcoscia, Melinda, Guia, Tina, Hye, and Mae.

Enjoy!

Husband's Scowl

Have you ever been shopping with your husband? If so, I would really congratulate him if he have stood by you wherever you go around the malls or shopping stores.

Personally, I really want my husband to come along when I go shopping, even window shopping. But then, he would get tired after minutes of few rounds within the mall. Maybe because I usually take time to choose which one I would really want to buy, and so he would wait on a corner until I am done. One time, he just sat on a sofa and I was left hopping from one store to another for more than two hours. And when I get back to him, a scowl would meet me, for having taken so long.

Hubby shops at an instant. When he wants something, he would immediately buy it unlike me who will compare it with anything to see if something more interesting and costless is available. Hubby easily finds all he wanted because sizes are always available because of his built, while I always had a hard time finding my size because I am not blessed with a shapely body.

Well, that may be our differences. And the solution, SHOP ALONE!

Angelina is pregnant! . . .again.

From US Magazine.com...

Amid rumors that Angelina Jolie, 32, is expecting twins, a close source confirms to Us Weekly that the actress is indeed pregnant.

A radiant Jolie had tongues wagging at the Screen Actors Guild Awards January 27 in Los Angeles.

One SAG attendee tells Us in its latest issue, on newsstands now, "It was so obvious she was pregnant. You could clearly see the bump's outline."

The source reveals Jolie may sell the confirmation, with the money going to charity.

Reps for Jolie and Brad Pitt, 44, refused to comment.

The couple have four children: Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 19 months, whom Jolie gave birth to in May 2006.

Jolie and Pitt – Us' Couple of the Year – have been vocal about wanting more children.

Pitt said last month, "we're just getting started."

"Dedicated, kids first," Pitt has said of Jolie as a mother. "[She's] really inventive and great fun to them and very, very protective."

Last summer, when Jolie was asked how many kids she'd like to have, the actress responded, "Hmm, it fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14... Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, damn it, we're up for the challenge!"

"I think we'll crap out somewhere between 7 and 9," Pitt has said.

Jolie's estranged father, Jon Voight, recently said, "It's wonderful news... if that's true."

Pitt and Jolie have been together since early 2005.

- -Hmmm, they are rushing things to the next level. Well, I hope they would really end up together. The kids are the ones who will be affected in the long run. Meanwhile, Angelina should look after her sexy body, she's still hot in the market nowadays...but if she really wanted to have more babies then bid her goodbye to the famous list. Oh well... with all their wealth, I guess having the perfect body is not difficult to achieve.

Wishing them well together.

Hayden from Tokyo

Got this photo from US Magazine.com... Hayden and co. came back from Tokyo for the promotion of his movie, Jumper. Well, didn't know that he was at Asia until I saw the pic and caption.

I'm looking forward to this movie. It is still coming soon in the threaters here in the Philippines, but I am marking my calendar and as soon as this movie hits the local screen, I'm off.

My Elf Name

I happen to browse through a SITE that generates our elvish and hobbit names. I was curious what my name would be... both in the world of elves and hobbits. I was more amused with the hobbit names, because it made me feel like I was one of those people in the movies like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or the like.

My elf name - Uruviel Culnamo

My hobbit name - Lily Proudfoot

What's yours?

Check this Video

The song "Hate That I Love You" is very nice, especially since it is Rihanna and Ne-yo who sung the song.

Upon searching through YouTube for the music video of the song... I caught a glimpse of the title, attached with it is the word acoustic.

As I opened the link... there he was... some guy who in my very own opinion is really good. I really like his version of the song. He has made acoustic renditions of other songs and I was really enjoying each video that they have.

I'm sharing this... hope you would enjoy them too.
