If I find a really great or juicy story, I will definitely post it on here. I realized that blogging is great, but you have to try to have a life outside of the computer world as well. I will try to write posts when my time permits. Wireless internet providers provide internet access without attaching cables and wires to your system.

I know that you might have a large workload to deal with, but this will definitely help. The best way to deal with stressful situations like this is to stop, take a breath and relax for a few minutes. Once you get your body to relax for a bit, your focus will be much more productive on what you have to accomplish.

Up until recently, I too felt this way. There is life outside of the office, but of course, you need to go to work to get your bread and butter.

This will definitely make a difference to whether this should be an approach to take. Many companies these days have specific rules against importing outside mail into their Exchange system, not only for security and confidentiality reasons, but also because of document retention issues. Thanks again for the comment.

Now unless you’ve got a track record of being a major gossip (which let’s be honest, if that was the case, you wouldn’t have lasted 5 mins in an EA role), you should be allowed to see EVERYTHING. Don’t be a smart arse, don’t be rude, and definitely don’t come across as being a whinger.

Laughing all the Way to Work

JULY 11, 2009

The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip. We do have to keep our company privacy in mind when sharing and never give specific details, but it is easy to give a general work situation and no one is the wiser as to who it is about and no company secrets are shared.
