...Aidalyn D. Guerrero Period: 4 August 29, 2015 Pet Peeves What is Pet Peeve? According to Wikipedia pet peeves or pet hate is minor annoyance that an individual identifies more particularly annoying to them self, to a greater degree than other may find. We have different pet peeves that we usually experienced in our life, like people who have bad manners, poor personal hygiene, and bad affair to families, friends and other people. People have experienced pet peeves it depends on their situations like being a parent, being a teacher and being a boy or a girl. For me being a girl and a teenager, it is important to have a good personal hygiene to myself in order to have a good health and it is important to look nicely to other people. My pet peeve is that when other people have poor personal hygiene in their self and in other places or things. Based on my experienced and on what I see in my daily activity some people have poor personal hygiene like, I smell some people who have body odors and bad breathe especially when they will come near to me and talk to me or they will sit beside me. I just say to myself that “oh my goodness” and that feeling that I almost vomit because of their smell or odor but I just bare them especially when I ride in a bus. There are some poor personal hygiene as if , some of my classmates or friends is when I saw their fingers nails dirty and they just bite or they just eat their foods without washing their hands and they just went from the restroom...

...Running heading: Organizational Change Process Presentation Cornelius Bowman LDR 531 Dr. C Introduction This paper focuses on the various strategies of organization change based on the leaders’ pet peeves. It has researched articles from various authors. One of such author is Kowaski, Robin M. in his book, “Complaining, Teasing and other Annoying Behaviors”. The paper has gone further to provide the recommendations on how these organizations changes are carried out. The paper has reviewed the case scenario of a C.E.O who wants to bring about change, but is concerned by the large size of the employees and a company’s long history without change. In the first section of the discussion, the paper highlights data observed on the graph which will be followed by a detailed recommendation. Also included are factors that hinder organization change, as this will help one understand the whole concept of organization change. Discussion One of the company’s goals is to have an organization that appreciates all employees. However, the data shows that the workers do not feel appreciated since only thirty five percent agree they fell appreciated. Appreciating employees is paramount as it makes them feel special (Senior & Swailes, 2010). This actually motivates them to work hard resulting to increased production and enhancing employer-employee relationship. The company can make the employees feel appreciated by doing little things. This may include, knowing...

...Pet peeves are a common occurrence among many people. Some have quite severe cases of annoyance, while others feel only slightly distressed. A pet peeve is something that annoys or bothers a person. They are typically caused by irritations that you experience in your everyday life that can lead to stress. There are all sorts of things that cause people to feel exasperated. But the question is: are pet peeves important in our lives or are they somewhat of a distraction? Do they manifest negative qualities of human nature? I believe that pet peeves are a bit distracting. For instance, if someone does not like when others tap their pencils on their desk during class, they will constantly be focused on the tapping sound, which prevents them from...

...Everyone on this planet has a pet peeve. As ridiculous as some sound, they really impact people in their everyday lives. My pet peeve is nothing but a simple condiment, mayonnaise. If I had the power to eradicate the earth of mayonnaise, I would do it in a heartbeat. The sweet, vinegar-like taste and the gooey texture of mayo sends me over the edge. My pet peeve takes over my emotions so much, I am not able to walk down the grocery store aisle with mayonnaise on the rack. My friends always make fun of me for having this peeve, but in my eyes see it as a phobia. My trauma with mayo can date as far back since I was a little kid in elementary school. I always have loved to eat sandwiches, and I still do to this day. My favorite restaurants, such...

...All of the munching and crunching throughout the day that I hear bothers me to no end. The bite through a chip. The slimy sound of eating crispy pepperoni on pizza. My grandma always taught me to chew with my mouth closed, to chew with care and never talk with my mouth full. This was something I am grateful that my grandma ingrained in me because I know from experience that some people I know never learned this. If I can hear the food in someone’s mouth I have an issue, if I see the food in someone’s mouth I have an even bigger issue, and if they are trying to talk to me while continuing to eat I will find a way to end the conversation with that person as quick as possible, it is my number one pet peeve always has been and always will be. When I picture a classroom with kids testing I see a room filled with silent people, but seven out of ten times there is another factor involved, a person sitting in the back eating either their lunch or snack and in this quiet room all you see can hear or think of is this person eating. My friend Symone, I love her dearly, but whenever she eats lunch she chews with her mouth open and I have to look away or listen music because I cringe so bad. The last person I...

...The Lost Innocents Richard Napper University of Phoenix When an individual makes the complicated decision of adding a four-legged member to their family it should be viewed as a lifelong commitment. The majority of people who decide to take in a new four legged family member usually have the best intentions at the time. However, life happens and things tend to change. The puppy who was once small and adorable is now full grown, becoming ignored, and is chewing for attention. The kitten who was once a cute little ball of fur is now not so little and clawing the furniture and using the potty in paces other than the litter box. Maybe there was a job loss in the family, or the individual has become homeless because of financial mishaps. With foreclosure on the rise these days due to a bad economy this is happening more often than not lately. One must plan for these types of issues that may arise in the near or distant future. There are a lot of individuals who believe that an animal shelter is the answer of all answers. The awful truth is they are mostly overcrowded and under staffed. More animals get euthanized inside the shelter due to lack of space than adopted by potential lifelong owners in the animal shelter. The animal shelter should not be used as a way to ease guilt on the former owners’ conscience. It should not be used as a dump site or a place to put your older animal like you would a senior citizen in a nursing home. Is animal abandonment ethically and morally wrong...

...Decision Making Process The decision making process for a manager can be quite difficult. There are many times throughout a manager’s career where vital decisions must be made, and a solid plan of action is necessary to carry out the objectives those decisions have set in motion. The example which I have chosen to share involves important decisions made for the business that I own and operate with my wife. The business that my wife and I own provided products and services for pets and their owners. When we first started our business we had a diverse line of hand-made pet products from dog and cat treats, custom pet beds, pet toys, and other pet products. The services that we offered ranged from all levels of dog training to pet sitting, etc. The division of responsibility set my wife as the sole service and product provider while I was responsible for all accounting, marketing, advertising, and production assistance. After the first year of conducting business, the service side of the business was steady during certain parts of the year, and we were beginning to see more interest in our product line. Although we were seeing growth, the problems of time management, and production costs became more apparent. Many products of ours were very time consuming and the raw materials needed were expensive. The services provided gave us revenue with low cost for materials, but the service demand was inconsistent and managing production became difficult. At this point I began questioning...

...Whether it’s on mortal land or in God’s great big grand stand, life must go on. Most of us had pets throughout our life. We can remember the snappy zip of a young feisty cat or the constant ambush of an out of control wagging tail from a K9 friend. Grover Cleveland, the elderly dying dog from Lying Doggo was this wondrous memory for the character Nancy. Grover was a remembrance of times past. He was the milestone of a 15 year marriage. Nancy reminisced about meeting Grover, when he was pup. Calm, and endearing yet very striking, Grover was. She knew him before she had meet her husband and Grover’s owner, Jack. Grover was a well know chap around her college campus when she was younger. Grover, like a decorated war general, led Nancy to Jack. Now that Grover is passing to God’s hands, these memories are awe inspiring. The decision to let him go until the almighty calls or give him an early pass to the heavens is not an easy choice. Jack in his heart, knows he does not want to give Grover an untimely death by putting his aging, ailing friend to sleep. He just can’t stand seeing him in agony. Nancy, and their son Robert, rather see him pass in the sanctity of his loving home. In the end faiths hand allowed Grover a chance to make his Grand entrance to God without unnatural interference and his family by his side. Many of us can relate to this story. Having an elderly pet in anguish due to an ailment, and making that hard decision to end s/he’s life prematurely. Why not...

...You should invest in my company, “Shady Dogs”, because our pets deserve the same protection that we would provide our children or ourselves. During those rainy days, it’s more difficult to take our pets on a walk because they always return home wet, and the smell of “wet dog” plus the mess that ensues creates more work for us in our already busy lives. Instead of bringing home your cold, wet dog, you can now buy them the protection they’ve been waiting for. With the simple design of a walking harness that many of us are already accustomed to, my product has the added benefit of an attached umbrella to shade and protect our four legged friends from harsh environmental elements. This patent pending design allows even weight distribution so that the umbrella harness can be comfortably worn on the animal's back. You can even use our device during the hot summer months to shield from the damaging effects of the sun’s harmful rays. Of course, we offer these umbrella harnesses in different sizes and colors because no dog is too big or too small to be left out in the rain. They range from $20-$35 depending on the size of the dog and are available in all major retail pet stores. The cost to produce each harness ranges from $4-$6 so there is plenty of room for profit. We have already sold 100,000 units this year and project 250,000 in the upcoming year. We are also developing additional products to grow our business and are looking for investors to aid in production and development...

...Loyalty is a noble quality that is found not only in human beings, but also in pet animals, such as dogs, horses or elephants. The word 'loyalty' means 'fidelity to law' which is generally applicable in the case of the Sovereign of the State. But in its broader sense, it means one's steadfastness in allegiance to a person or cause, or to one's country or sovereign. Loyalty involves obedience, sacrifice and compassion of the heart. Loyalty is a very broad term which may be applicable in case of one's family, locality or the country. A loyal person is ready to sacrifice even his own life for the sake of his master, friend, relative or the country. A loyal person bears a moral character, honest outlook, and disciplined manners. A truly loyal man cannot be bribed or tempted to deviate from his own path. He is like a stone pillar which is firm and strong to stand any force that may try to penetrate through it. He is absolutely dependable in all circumstances of life. In this world, there are only a few instances of loyal personalities, who are well-known. In those days, some of the kings and emperors were lucky to have certain loyal commanders who fought for their kingdom and saved their masters again and again from the hands of the enemies, even at the cost of their own lives. Loyalty is common among the courageous soldiers and servants. There are also instances of pet animals, such as dogs, horses or elephants, who, out of loyalty, gave their lives for the interest...

...Dogs are much better friends to the average person than cats could ever be. Cats and dogs both make a good pets depending on the individuals life style. The dog is a lot more social with their owner than a cat is with their owner. Dogs love to please their owner in all kinds of ways, and cats just wants to be pleased by their owner. Dogs can be train much faster and easier than a cat could be trained. Many people have a pet at home. The typical house pet is ether a cat or a dog, and some times people have both cats and dogs. I believe that a cat is a better choose if a person lives in an apartment because cats get patty train much faster, as wall as they don’t need that much space. I also believe that the dogs are more suited for a person that has a house because most dogs need to get out and exercise and play. If a person is looking for there first pet they need to consider their living situation, before choosing between a cat and a dog. Dogs are much more social with people than cats are. Dogs either want to be petted or play with you, such as playing fetch or tug-a-war. If dogs aren’t playing with you they are most likely laying close by if not even in your lad, depending on the size of the dog. On the other hand cats are most likely in the other room sleeping because they typical want to be left alone or get upset by load noises, and people that they don’t know. You may only see them two or three times a day, unless you go looking for them. All dogs want to do is to...

...through training. The training the dogs are put through to become fighting dogs is harsh, and reaches the point of cruelty. Owners put dogs on steroids, by the time the dogs are ready to fight they are very unhealthy and malnourished. This new hobby is animal cruelty, and it is ethically wrong. Ethical issues are abundant in the United States; future generations, along with our present generation, will not understand how society allowed this abuse to occur. Animals were created for the protection and survival of humans; they provide food and a defense against harm towards humans. Over centuries individuals have brought animals into our homes and trained them to live as pets. Today, most owners treat their pets as if they were a human being, or a child of their own. Animals today, for the majority, are seen as pets; it is hard to understand why anyone in this society would harm animals in any way. Animal abuse should be treated as a criminal act; cruelty towards animals should not be tolerated in this century or any future date. The occurrence of these events is largely unfair to these dogs that have no say or control in what purpose their owners use them for. Even though...

...Best Reasons for Adopting a Pet Having a dog is a wonderful idea, they bring companionship, personality and humor to households across the world. Dogs make good companions because of the friendship, unconditional love, loyalty and protection they give. I have decided to adopt a dog from one of my local rescue centers because there are so many unwanted dogs that deserve a loving home. Companionship is the number one reason I chose to adopt a dog. For instance, when you wake up in the morning they don't care if you have morning breath and no make-up, they will be there to greet you good morning. Also, you know when you come home everyday your dog will always be happy to see you. After a long stressful day they will meet you at the door tail wagging ready to give you hugs and kisses because you're home. It makes all your stress and worries go right out the door. Whether you need someone to cuddle with in bed or company on the couch watching a movie, your dog will always be there for you. The loyalty of dogs is quite amazing and they always want to be by you side. In fact, just walking from room to room in your home you'll be followed. Dogs will never be judgmental, they don't care about the kind of house you live in, the car you drive or what name brand clothes you wear, they will love you for you. You might be feeling emotional, angry, or even talking out loud to yourself about your horrible day, your dog will be there listening and wagging its tail. If you are late feeding...
