Procrastination

So it's the last day before all work is due for my class and I am writing my last blog. Putting work off, just adds extra stress on to your load. Why procrastinate? I feel it is somewhat genetic because my father procrastinates. What else causes procrastination? I always have company over being that I live right in the middle of campus, meaning it is hard for me to concentrate. Since I am a college student and I am learning and growing from my mistakes, this is going to help me become a better person. When I enterthe the working world, I wont procrastinate on anything. I think procrastination is almost as bad as alcoholism minus the harmful helath effects to the organs. Procrastination makes the average worker stressed out and could cause a person turn to alcohol in the workplace. Being able to notice the problem is the first step in fixing it. If workers aren't able to turn in a project on time due to procrastination, their job could be at stake; getting demoted or terminated. How can we prevent this horrible disease?

Workplace Relationships

Starting a new job in a new area is some what intimidating. Not knowing anyone or really anything about how things are run. You begin to meet new people around work, letting you know inside scoop about their drama and such. Whose dating who; who you trust who you cannot trust. It is real tricky coming into a new workplace trying not to step on anyones toes.
Now you can take two options into this little crisis. 1.) Become friends with you colleagues opening yourself to them, getting insided the work bubble. 2.) Closing yourself off to your colleagues, goinging into work do your business, get out.
Its usually impossible to take the second option unless you work in a large group dependent workplace. Since I have only worked in a reaturant since age 15 I have met a good amout of people but never had a serious relationship with someone I worked with. I feel it's too distracting to the environment and its workers. Because it is too hard to work with a couple that don't want to work with each other because of relationship problems.

Communication

Recently I have just started a new job...well maybe its not that recent I've been working at this place for almost 4 months. My job location is right smack dab in the middle of downtown Richmond and one of the biggest frustrations for anyone who has been driving or lives in the city is finding a parking spot. Upon first interviewing with the current company I am with my now current employer asked if I had any questions of him before the interview concluded. I asked him about the parking situation and asked "What would the parking arrangements be if I were to be offered the job?" Not the best question but since I am a parking ticket magnet I asked. His answer "There will parking spaces available in the deck next to the building so you can park your car there." Upon hearing this I was thrilled and when I was offered the job I gladly accepted knowing that parking wouldn't be an issue. Now here it is almost 4 months later and I have yet to receive a parking decal but heres the catch. I have had to come out of pocket to to pay the meters which total to be almost $80.00 a month and of course as I mentioned I am a parking ticket magnet so on top of spending that each month I have also racked up numerous parking tickets just by parking on the street outside the building. I confronted my boss numerous times as to the parking conditions but he consistently told me to watch where I parked. Well after recieving 3 parking tickets within two days I finally decided that I had to do something about the parking conditions. I confronted my boss and when asked about the parking spaces he told me that I could purchase one at the deck next to the building. This whole time I had assumed that the company would pay for it guess I should have communicated my question more clearly and saved myself some money lol.
