...Brooke Bohinski January 24, 2012 English 101 Process Analysis Essay Sit Down and Relax Do you ever get the chance to just sit down and take a deep breath? Well many people say they never get that chance between school and work, but guess what? You finally have the weekend off and you can do whatever you want. Take the time to relax. The most relaxing weekend is the one that you just sit down and do what you like, such as spending time to yourself, outdoors or with people you love. People go to great lengths to relax, however relaxing can be as simple as an enjoyable weekend with no responsibility. First thing in the morning take a long, hot shower or bath to wake you up. You should get out and put on your most relaxed clothing, such as sweats or whatever you prefer to be comfy in. Almost all people wake up hungry, so after getting cleaned you need to fix something hot for breakfast, whether it is pancakes, waffles or just a fried egg. Next comes everyone’s favorite, sit down and watch either your favorite movie or the three episodes of your favorite TV show that you haven’t watched in over a month due to studying all night. After that get Facebook and check up on the latest gossip. By then anyone would be hungry so just fix something simple but good. Popping a pizza in the oven is something simple and good. After eating, you could go outside and enjoy the nature. It can be sunny, storming or snowing but either way you could enjoy them all. Sitting inside listening...

...successful. One of my many experiences with effective communication happened in the early morning of May 28 2012. I was working my shift at Gibson Generating Plant in Indiana. I had just gotten back to my office from a tour of the plant, when I received a call from the operator on Unit 2. He told me that the differential pressure was dropping on the unit. This is used to sense the forced air flow going to the pulverizers where the coal is grounded into a very fine powder. This air is needed to seal the pulverizers and also to transfer the fine dust up to the nozzles to fuel the fire in the boiler. We had issues with this before and had maintenance fix it. Of course, afterwards, I made sure I knew what they did to correct it. Over this holiday weekend there was suppose to be a maintenance person on call. I called him and he said that he was not coming in until morning. It was 1:30 am and I explained to him it needed to be done or we were going to lose the unit. I then called the Plant Manager and told him what was going on and that the pressure was dropping. I explained that it could not wait until this person came in. I already had the drawings and the information on this Transducer for the differential pressure. I told the Plant Manager that I would take care of this if it was ok with him and he said yes. It was understood that we would address this situation in our next production meeting. I called the operator on Unit 2 and told him to get the guys up there in the control room and...

...days will be longer to make up for the day that is lost to make a three day weekend. The four day school week will mess up many things with a regular school day, some of these will be longer classes, sports at a later time, makes less time for kids to do their homework, and go longer into the summer.. The longer classes are to make up the day that was lost for the three day weekend. They could have an earlier start time to make it to where the school would still end at three o'clock. Secondly with the longer classes will make sports go later on into each evening. This gives less time for kids to do their homework or any chores that they have to do at the end of the day and after school. Kids will have to go more weeks in the school year because it is required for all students to go 180 days for a school year. This will cut into families summer plans.

...company’s growth so that even with twenty full-time employees working in six to eight crews, the organization culture was still as open, friendly, and personal as it had been when her only "employees" were friends who would volunteer to help her move a heavy tree. To maintain that atmosphere, Ong involved herself increasingly with people and less with plants as the company grew. With hundreds of customers and scores of jobs at any one time, she could no longer say without hesitation whether she had a dozen arborvitae bushes in stock or when Mrs. Carnack’s estate would need a new load of bark mulch. But she knew when Rose had been up all night with her baby, when Gary was likely to be late because he had driven to see his sick father over the weekend, and how to deal with Ellen when she was depressed because of her boyfriend’s behavior. She kept track of the birthdays of every employee and even those of their children. She was up every morning by five-thirty arranging schedules so that John could get his son out of daycare at four o’clock and Martina could be back in town for her afternoon high school equivalency classes. Paying all this attention to employees may have led Ong to make a single bad business decision that almost destroyed the company. She provided extensive landscaping to a new mall on credit, and when the mall never opened and its owners went bankrupt, Plant World found itself in deep trouble. The company had virtually no cash and had to pay off the bills for the mall...

...through the inmate request form. This includes but is not limited to signing up for classes, chapel services, medical call outs (sick or well), laundry changes or request, etc. This list really goes on! This is where I am happy to give the form out as long as I have them, because I understand that point. However I have several fellow officers who will tell them “I don’t have any request forms!” Even if they have a stack of them sitting within arm’s reach. I believe this is wrong. I feel that though the inmates made poor decision that landed them in my care and custody, they are still human beings, and should be treated as such, therefore if they need a request form they should be given one. # 2) What do you do when you face conflicting work or family obligations?

...Let’s Get Together Our leadership at Mountain Christian Church, Joppa, Maryland, has worked hard to create a mission-first, team-first staff culture. We work hard to facilitate, encourage, and protect this culture with existing staff, but we work extra hard to ensure prospective staff understand, buy in, and fit in with our culture. In fact, we believe selecting new staff to join our team at Mountain is one of the most important tasks of leadership. Few decisions have a longer-term impact on a church’s health and mission than the people it hires. Selecting wisely can move the mission forward and heighten a positive staff culture. Selecting poorly can derail or deter the mission, hold back a given ministry area, or create negative energy within the entire church. We always enter the hiring process by stating clearly that we want what God wants. If God is directing us to hire someone, we believe we can determine his will through a deliberate process. This includes face-to-face contact and the involvement of discerning people. Getting a Clear Picture Our goal is to get a clear picture of the candidate’s “four C’s”: character, competence, chemistry, and calling. Character is the heart and integrity of a Christian leader. Competence includes the skill sets, gifts, education, experience, and leadership required to fulfill the responsibilities. Chemistry is the degree to which a person fits within the staff team and staff culture. This includes the specific team in which the...

...wait for the weekend during working days? How many of you have ever dreamt about having more days off from work? Like you, nearly every worker needs more free days to fulfill all the plans that are rarely accomplished for 2 days. Just imagine if you had 4-Day Workweek. By the end of this talk you will learn about this alternative approach to the work week you have now and how it can benefit your plans. As a time manager at Successful Business Associations that specializes in business efficiency and workers’ safety regulations, I work under time policies in companies like yours implementing techniques to improve productivity and sustainability of businesses. Transition: Your HR-manager invited me here today to tell you what might really help your company to flourish from business prospective, prevent unnecessary costs and make employees grateful to management. Body First, let’s consider benefits of the 4-Day workweek from the management prospective: * Shorter working hours and increased rest, boost employee productivity and creativity; * The business save money on energy, custodial and security costs; * Longer work days mean more concentration time (employees have more time during the day to concentrate on tasks, and therefore, productivity increases); * Less absenteeism as employees have less need to miss work for doctor's visits and other obligations; * Improved morale (employees are likely to be over the moon with their new 3-day weekend).

...Every team is unique and it is nice to start with a solid plan to guide the process along and help make our meetings more efficient. We have decided that team meetings will be held weekly, preferably before the weekend in order to allocate time to make any corrections before the presentation. Although we will have the time to make any necessary corrections, this will hopefully not be needed for we will finish preparing the case prior to the weekend. Team members will come to the meeting having fully read the case ensuring utmost efficiency. Our team will be structured in a way that each team member will have set responsibilities prior to each meeting and presentation. Adam will be responsible for coordinating group meetings and keeping the team posted on due dates. Tyler will be responsible for final editing and bringing the completed work to class. Caio is in charge of the technology and will try to prevent any groupthink that may occur among the group. Derek will be responsible for preparing a case summary prior to each group meeting. Team interaction and dynamics will work in such a way where everyone is respected, but debated. We will work in such a way where all assumptions are clearly discussed and no stone is left unturned. In order to achieve this we will have to be comfortable around one another when analysis time comes. Team rapport will build overtime, but we are going to try to meet bi-weekly in order to accelerate the process. We feel that fostering an environment...

...because I work fulltime and also because I am the mother of two young children. My daily schedule Monday through Friday is currently 7:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m. with the weekend off unless I am working overtime. I consider this schedule to be a great schedule because it still allows me time to get a lot of things done after work. But in the next few weeks my hours are due to change to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with weekends off which I still consider to be good. Generally I get most of my class work done during my work hours with the 7:00 a.m. schedule I would not have the time to post or respond to the discussion in the morning like I did with my previous online classes. So the 8:00 a.m. schedule adjustment is going to be perfect because it will allow me to get some work done before my work schedule starts. According to our text for this class in order to be successful with online learning you have to be self-driven and motivated to complete the work without an instructor being presence (Grace,2013). I have had several years of experience with online learning. All of my undergraduate classes were online except for the math requirements. When it came to my graduate degree all of the requirements were met online as well so I am very familiar with online learning. With all this experience I have found some pros and cons to online learning. Pros to online learning: A. You don’t have to be at a certain place at a certain time. You basically can log on and do your class work when it...
