Cell Phones
Ever since the cell phone was invented we have had tons and tons of success and problems. Talking while you drive is okay but texting is against the law. Especially with these new high tech phones, its too hard. They are so fragile once your finger glides over a button then it types the word for you. Talking on cell phones in a public place is okay. The downward effect is sometimes you can hear a person whole conversation and they are talking extremely loud like the other person is going deaf. Inside of a restaurant talking on a cell phone should be kept to a minimum. The people around you might be having a business meeting or special occasion. If I am on a date with a man don't be on your cell phone. To me that is disrespectful and you really should be focused on the conversation at hand and trying to get to know me if its our first date or spending quality time with me if we have been dating for a awhile. They have this thing where you can put the phone on speaker or ear piece because its all hands free but costly. Cell phones are expensive for the latest technology it has to offer. There is even a phone now where you can swipe your bank and credit cards. I'm like wow that's too cool. Even on my job in the next year or so everyone is suppose to have a phone that is a ramp agent or dangerous goods agent. With this device you will be able to scan the container numbers and they go right into the system and tell you whether it is air worthy or not in like less than 3 minutes. It also will have GPS in them to locate unruly employees who leave the area for long periods of time. I love cell phones personally and have had the same number since I have started using one. Also cell phones are good in emergencies. You have to remember though when calling from one know your location because the operator really doesn't know that information. Another thing is they are useful and come in handy grocery shopping because it has a calculator, or trying to find the right location, or researching the latest dance craze. Our cell phones are awesome.

My thoughts
Wherever you work take pride in doing your best at all times. Never let clients see you sweat or not working. Makes the company overall look bad. I have had to work with people I don't like and don't care to be around because their vibe is just always negative. On any body's job be mindful that you are getting paid to do a job and not to sit around on the clock and watch others work. If everyone came to work ands sat down and did nothing what would happen to the company it would probably go out of business. What happen to teamwork? I may not like you but I am willing to work with you to get the job done quicker and more efficiently. Work is exactly that. It isn't meant to be easy all the time and sometimes yes your work will take longer than that required eight hours. Be respectful of others and their situations because you want someone to be respectful of yours. I am discussing this because I had a very bad night at work due to others not pulling their weight. My manager expects a lot out of me and I get that. My tasks sometimes have shorter periods than what they need to have. Also our fellow employees are more of tell you what to do and then not do anything themselves. Our company is said to be down 500 people. I was like wow really that isn't good but people want to work but not work as hard. They want the benefits and pay but don't want to put in the years of service to reap those benefits. I constantly strive to do my best and fill at times it isn't enough. That's why my job now is a stepping stone to something greater. Wherever you work and with whomever are you going to be there long term or short term. I am glad that there are still people in the workplace that can say thank you or I appreciate that. I am one of them.
