I thought this was excellent advice but even better than advice...observation of what works and what doesn't.

I've practice most of these. In short, I always try to make the best of every situation, or what was often advised during my day: Make the job your own...as if it was Your Own Business...if you get push back, then you're either doing something wrong or it's the Wrong job or the Wrong job place, for you.

In any event, Thought you Gulchers would enjoy something beyond the bull crap of the day.

    I recently got a job working front desk in a physicians office even though I'm still learning the online software. I find the people that work there very pleasant to work with. The female physician has a great personality. In fact most of the patients are much older than myself in their 70's through 90's. They comment to the physician that "you hired one of us"! So, I go out of my way to be gracious to them and even help them out to their vehicles and yes there are a few that still drive in their late 80" and 90's. Scary! but having work in Medical Records Dept. and alike this job is a very pleasant environment to work in.

      Awesome...working need not be unpleasant.

      My greatest joys came when I left the desk and drafting tables and engaged with others in trying to solve their problems while making my employers a profit.
      Sometimes I think that I was the one that profited the most.

    Well, it was rather interesting. Unfortunately, I do not have a job at this time. I have had many in my life; some I liked, some I didn't, particularly; a few I hated.
    There was only one that I really loved. It was a job I had as a carhop, when I was 18. I worked it for about a year and a half. The pay was 75 cents an hour, plus whatever tips I made. (There was no such thing as putting all the tips in one pot, and splitting them up). It was very exciting.
    It seemed that the harder and faster I worked, the more money I made. However, after some time, the boss ruined it for me. He clamped down on me, and wouldn't let me go fast; after a while, it seemed that any time I went fast enough so
    that the cashiers didn't have to take orders out the side door, he told me I was going too fast. That ruined the job for me. So I quit.

      I've had similar experiences. The worst was my first union Printing shop. Back then, I did everything at 200 mph, (today only 125...laughing) But I did it efficiently until I was told that some of the things I was doing was someone else's job and that I had to WAIT for an electrician to to plug the damn machine into the wall socket!!!. That was the LAST union shop I worked at but I stayed with printing, on and off until I reached VP...then I got board and went on to something else.
      Seems we both were naturally born to Free Market Capitalism and are self motivated.

    I wouldn't run my life based on those 10 points. People are not rubber stamps. So, it may be a guide , but I wouldn't take it too seriously. People are as mysterious as atoms.We can record what they do, and how they act but still don't know how, what, when, or why they do it. I am talking about both atoms and people. Niels Bohr (paraphrase) said, " The atom is somewhere, doing something we don't know what." That's pretty much the same description of human consciousness. That is why even the brilliance of Ayn Rand cannot come up with a philosophy that covers all of human diversity. Any more than Niels Bohr can tell everything there is to know about the atom.

    Very interesting indeed! When people say multitask they do not truly get that the brain is a one task oriented. It is just so irrational, especially, when I have spent so much time studying psychology. Good stuff and overall great and very useful information.

    Thanks OUC,
    I thought the multi-tasking sector was particularly
    Provoking.

      I do it myself but always suspected that I wasn't doing my best on each operation. Mark Hamilton developed a great protocol for getting things done quickly and efficiently by ganging like activities together; example, all writing duties, then all ordering duties,do all paying duties together and lastly, concentrate of all creative things going forward.
      Follow this protocol and you'll never have to stay late again to finish your work.

      He also suggests dividing departments into profit making units instead of dividing units of labor. Units of labor or operations can be dived up withing each profit making unit.
