I got lucky...the mirror dropped about a foot, onto the 1 inch thick backsplash, then landed upright on the vanity behind the 8" tall faucet fixture. The faucet kept it from falling forward onto the floor, which would've broken the mirror. It knocked a small table clock, a metal hand towel stand and a ceramic lotion bottle onto the floor. Those made the loud crashing sounds I heard.

Gossip I learned in less than one hour this evening at a neighbor's Holiday Party:

One of the teenagers who used to babysit my kids is married and both her and her husband have gone through astronaut training and work for NASA.

Her brother, who watched my kids sometimes too, was a software engineer in on the beginning of Square and his stock options at the time of the IPO were worth $11 million and as the shares rose and he exercised additional stock options he became worth tens and tens of millions. (His dad told me this so I Googled him and it appears to be true.)

The girl around the block who used to play with m son when they were little is in medical school.

The brainiac girl three doors down, who also babysat my kids, finally came out to her parents and is a surgeon- and is also going to law school part-time (idiot).

The neighborhood loser kid went from high school to doing serious mega prison time for selling fentanyl laced drugs that killed two people. (It didn't make the news that I am aware of so I doubt it.)

My next door neighbor's son, who runs the family business (presently holding five Mexican restaurants), sold-off several of their others and wants his dad's permission to walk away and retire before 35. Dad is saying no.

The white people who bought the house on the corner are angry because they didn't know the seller was black.

Meiul, who lives across the street, is still an illustrator for Disney after longer than 20 years.

The new people across the street who I had not met yet, seem really cool.

Most important, the three or four idiot families in the neighborhood who cause all the trouble or who we have had issues with were not invited!

I learned that I can just punt on the last final papers in the classes this term and it only effects my overall GPA by 0.02. I'm totally burned out on these stupid management courses I has this term.

For 50 points out of a thousand they want me to to write 1000 word paper and address the following

Cut and paste from one of the assignments:

Robert is a supervisor at a large bottling company. His job includes managing safety and breaks and setting schedules for his twenty-five employees who use forklifts and other machinery to package and move filled bottles on to trucks for delivery.

Robert has career goals with the organization. First, he would like to become the bottling manager, which is one step up from his current job. In five years, Robert would like to become the director of operations who oversees the entire factory floor.

Robert is an excellent, well-liked manager by his employees, but when it comes to his supervisors, he is very quiet. He never mentioned the fact that his shift had one hundred accident-free days in a row or that productivity had increased 10 percent since he took over the shift. Robert is also a bit shy, so he avoids any kind of social interaction such as the holiday party.

While Robert wants to be promoted in the organization, he knows he lacks some of the skills needed to do the job, such as the ability to put together budgets. Because of this, he has identified two courses he would like to take to improve his financial skills.

Robert was recently asked to review the operational processes during his shift and excelled at it. In fact, because of the shifts’ awareness, Robert motivated his staff to change some of the procedures to be more cost effective. Since Robert would like a promotion, he knows he should assess his strengths and weaknesses.

1. Consider each of the following topics discussed in this chapter and discuss Robert’s strengths and weaknesses in each of the following areas (making reasonable assumptions is fine). Then create a plan addressing what Robert can do to improve in each area:
a. Power positioning
b. Planning, action, and attitude
c. Etiquette
d. Personality characteristics
e. Mentoring
f. Continual learning

2. Once you complete some ideas for Robert, think about your strengths and weaknesses in each area. Make a plan on how you can improve on each point


Frankin' gag me with a spoon. The last chapter in our textbook went into things on how to dress for work, the appropriate type of handshake (firm but not firm and only one hand, don't use both hands), how to greet people, how to position your eating utensils after a business lunch (knife and fork placed on the plate crossed over to indicate that you're done).

WTF?

Sounds to me like the Robert in your story is soft and is going to be a sh*t manager for ever because he just isn't management material.

He needs to learn how to divert blame, deflect problems, gas light his peers, and god for bid have an accident already, he's making everyone else look bad.

He might even need to develop a drinking problem.

So they are teaching you how to be a hand shaker. Yeah, like that has any value. Also they could teach better. Utensils on the main plate at 5 pm signify finished.

BTW. Professors teach because they failed in the real world.

Here are 5 rules of Never that should be your mantra in the buisness world.

Never ever ever be satisfied.
Never ever ever save pennies to loose dollars.
Never ever ever loose an opportunity.
Never ever ever negotiate on a price you know is fair.
Never ever ever loose sight of you most valuable assets, employees, and customers.
