Office Romance – Professional Women Beware

Since you spend have of your life (so it seems) at work, it makes sense to go out with some cute co-worker that you have had your eye on for some time. But is this a wise decision?

Yes there are couple that have met and even married through their work place, but think of the flip side. What happens if you meet someone at work, have a relationship and it ends and you still have to make nice with the person you broke up with. 

If there is total chemistry between you and you have weighed all the plusses and minuses and feel that this is the route you want to take, there are a few hints that you might want to keep in mind.

-start off slow. Think of how this person is work, because there you usually see all facets of the person.

-be discreet. Don’t use work email to send cute little notes to each other or don’t spend major amounts of time in each others presence. That will only give the office gossips fuel to add to their fire. Meet away from the office environment.

-accept that people will eventually find out, be honest and just say ‘yes, I am seeing so and so’ and leave it that – again less fuel for the gossips fire.

-at all costs stay professional. Work as hard as before or harder to ensure the powers that be that no, this romance will not interfere with your jobs done to their satisfaction.

-if the relationship doesn’t go well, resist revenge. Smile, be polite to him along with everyone else and show the world including him that its over and you are none the worse for wear.

But think twice before dating your boss or supervisor, because if goes sour, they could make your life well you know. In fact, it might be wise to give a lot of thought before you get into any office relationship at all.

Finding Family Time When You're Female Executive

It’s been a long busy week with everyone rushing here and there, how do you connect with your kids and significant other. When the weekend comes, if you are like me, all you want to is collapse and try and get stuff done that you haven’t had a chance all week to do. You know, fun things like ironing, grocery shopping, that kind of thing. But the weekend is also a time to re-connect with your loved ones with out any kind of pressure. 

What kind of weekend rituals do you do together as a family? Some people have a special family meal that they share on Friday evenings when each person shares what exciting thing happened to them during the week. Other families make Friday nights their family game night. For some, it is watching a movie or a weekly television show together. Some families go out to eat once a week or month on the weekend or do something equally as fun. Some make a special breakfast at some point over the weekend and that is their special time together.

Really, it doesn’t matter what you do or when you do it with your family. It is important to connect with your and create memories that will last a lifetime.

The Best Cell Phone

Cell phones are practically every where these days from the office to the school hall and every where in between and with so many to choose from, what is the best cell phone for you?

Of course it depends who it is for. Is it for your high school student in case of emergencies or so they can text message their friends? (some even have an fm radio installed in the phone!) Do you want a camera phone? Is it for the techno geek who has to have the latest in technology? Then you will want to get one that is top of the line. Do you want a ‘fashion phone’? How about a phone that looks pretty but is still functional? Is sending emails from your phone important to you? Does the size of your phone matter? Perhaps you want the smallest one available so it will be highly portable? 

Wow, with so many to choose from where do you begin? Like any major purchase, the important thing is to research before you buy. Take stock of your needs and wants in a cell phone, make a list and take it shopping with you. If you go to a mall, chances are you can pick up a trendy phone and a plan at the same time, which saves time and energy. 

The great thing about cell phones is that you can pick a cell phone you love with the features that you need/want and take it to a carrier and get the kind of plan and service contract that suits you. If a child that has gone away to college or university, a pre-paid plan may work for them. Or if you are only using it for emergency purposes, a pay as you go plan would suit you.

Research before you purchase and you will then get the best cell phone for you.

Clean Your House In Less Time

If you are like most of us busy women, the last thing you worry about is a clean house. But on the other hand, you want to maintain a clean house and not have to spend hours on cleaning it. 

The key is if you let things pile up, things like laundry, dusting, laundry, clutter or even vacuuming, its gonna take longer to get on top of the mess. What you need to do is try and accomplish a little bit of house cleaning every night. But all it takes a little ambition, a plan, a routine, and the right equipment.

(plan your work, work your plan). 

Perform a quick tidy on a daily basis is the best to keep your space clean. It is a good way to conquer clutter on a daily basis. Enlist your kids help. Listen to music and make it a fun time. Or you can set a timer, give each person/child a room to tidy and make a race and hey you can even have prizes. No, I am not advocating bribery, but perhaps you can let the winning person decide what is for supper or you can buy dollar store toys/items that you can put in a container and let the person pick. Some people assign children chores that coincide with their allowance. You should also have consequences for them not completing assigned tasks. But if you have to clean solo, listen to books on tape or listen to your favourite music.

-Give a quick wipe to the bathroom sink, a swish around the toilet bowl with the brush and a quick blast of an air freshener should do the trick.

-Put toys into a bin, trunk, or basket that you have for the occasion.

-Make your bed and get the kids to make theirs (even a 5 year old can pull up their sheets and make their bed neat.

-Even though their way of doing things might not be your way of cleaning, accept their help and be grateful.

-Use cleaning times as teaching for your children how to clean.

A clean house is not an impossible task, but takes time and dedication to make it happen.
