March of Dimes

The Advantage Team is honored to announce that we will be participating
in the March of Dimes event on April 24, 2010!

We are very excited to be a part of March for Babies this year and hope
you will join our team!

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often
very sick. We`re walking because we want to do something about this.

The money we raise will support March of Dimes research and programs
that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy
lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families
with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Please join our team. You can do so on our team Web page. If you can`t
walk with us, please help the team reach our goal by making a donation.
You can do that online as well.

Thank you for helping us give all babies a healthy start!

The Vending Machine Survival Guide



Every now and then we all get stuck eating dinner from the vending
machine. You've done it, particularly when you're working late with a
group and nobody goes home until the job is done.

However, vending machine food can wreak havoc with your healthy weight
loss plan, as well as your ability to
focus on your work. Surprisingly enough, there ARE healthier choices
available in today's vending machines-you just need to know the tricks.
Armed with these tips, you can actually have a decent meal. And in honor
of March being National Nutrition Month ,
I've put together this simple and easy to follow vending machine
survival guide.

It's All About the PC Combo


The key to any healthy weight loss plan is consistent meals which
include healthy proteins and carbs-aka the PC combo! A mix of proteins
and carbs will keep blood sugar levels stable
for maximum
energy and fat burning - perfect for long days at the office or lengthy
board meetings.
. With that in mind, what could possibly be in a vending machine that
matches these specifications? Answer: A LOT!

WINDOWS AT WORK:

Sound Annoyances

At a former job, I had a coworker who was not Windows savvy. Another
coworker changed the first co-worker's sound scheme so that each time he
performed most any task within Windows, his computer made some kind of
odd sound.

If you have a mischievous co-worker, or simply do not like certain
sounds, but do not want to turn off your sound completely, you can edit
each Windows sound function individually.

Go to the Control Panel, and open the Sounds icon (in Windows Me it is
Sounds and Multimedia). Choose the event you want. Then scroll the Name
list until you find the sound you want or choose to have no sound. Click
Apply, and your problem is solved.

Healing Tips for the Broken Hearted Job Seeker

March 10, 2010 by sparktalk

By CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert, Joshua Waldman



Someone once told me a corporation was a nasty thing to fall in love
with - because it will NEVER love you back. The rules of loyalty in the
work force are changing. No one can deny that.

However, knowing this doesn't change the pain of getting laid off or let
go. It hurts. It can wound.

Each of us reacts in one of two ways, either by getting pissed off and
hating the company we used to love, or by blaming ourselves in what can
be called a state of numbness.

These wounds deserve every bit of healing we have. However, because our
financial situation may depend on sweeping the pain aside and getting
another job as quickly as possible, we might need a strategy of getting
past this stage.

For those of you who can't afford to wait 3 months to regroup, lick the
wounds and find your emotional footing again, I offer these simple speed
coping tips.



1. Stop the Story: Stop replaying the day you got the pink slip. Stop
repeating the story that is upsetting you. Instead, replace it with what
you need to do right now.



2. Stop and Breath: Calm down. You can never get anywhere if your mind
is still in a fighting mode or if you are numb. Wake up in the morning
and count 10 breaths. Allow your mind to come back down.



3. Allow the Parts: Allow the part of you that is angry to be angry - on
the weekend when you can afford it. Allow that part of you that is sad
or afraid to feel that way, after 5 PM when you've completed your job
search tasks for the day.



4. Let it Out: Find new ways to channel the emotion. If you punch, then
punch a punching bag. If you shout, then shout in the car on the
highway. If you cry, then give yourself space to do that. And when you
are done, leave the emotion there.

Most Annoying Work Place Behaviors

Someone did a lot of research on this. But our guess is that your list
is just as good.

A company called Opinion Research asked 1,800 people to choose the
workplace behaviors that are the most annoying. Here are the, uh,
winners:

1. Grumpy or moody co-workers (37%). Usually, this involves people
who bring their personal problems to work. An early-morning spat with a
spouse is a top contender for the cause of such behavior. Anyway, it's
what we hate the most, according to the survey.
2. Gossipers (19%). Apparently, many who were polled don't see the
value in baseless stories about who's cuddling with whom, who's getting
fired and who's answering polls. Or maybe they were the ones being
gossiped about.
3. The use of jargon (18%). Clearly, the people who put this on
their list are incapable of "thinking outside the box."
4. Loud phone talkers (18%). We imagine this one's triple-annoying
when the speaker is gossiping and saying stuff like "thinking outside
the box."
5. Poor toilet etiquette (16%). The less said about this, the
better.

Tips for Dealing with Workplace Conflict



When people work together in groups, there are bound to be occasions
when individuals disagree and conflicts arise in the workplace. Whether
these disagreements become full-blown feuds or instead fuel creative
problem solving is, in large part, up to the person in charge.

CAPS LOCKED!

When you write in all capital letters, this looks (and maybe sounds) to
many a recipient as if you were shouting.



Writing in All Caps is Like Shouting

This is why you should use all caps sparingly.

It is a strong effect, and it should remain one.



Imagine Someone Shouting All the Time

Not only would it mean little when she shouted, it is also more
difficult to understand somebody who shouts. Similarly, text in upper
case is significantly more difficult to read than lower and mixed case
text.



Use Lower Case Only

If you type in all caps because you find it faster and more convenient,
consider using lower case only. You will annoy some people, of course,
but all in all, lower case seems more widely accepted than all caps.
