My BFF…advice…BFF?

March 26th, 2010

My best friends birthday is tomorow and i want to write the best thing in her card…do you think this is ok? or if its to sappy? or if i should change or add anything?
Dear Jessica,
It is your birthday and I am writing you this card. I am not very good at this but if like to say thank you. A quote I read said, “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends are there in the end”. It is true because I have had people walk out of my life or just around the corner and you were always there. So this is why I want to say thank you. You are a great friend and I love you, Happy Birthday! And I hope you love your gifts and take them as a token of appreciation of our friendship. I don’t think ill ever be able to thank you or give you as many gifts for as much as you have helped me. Thank you again. I love you. Happy Birthday!

With love,
Erica

Quote short n' sweet to engrave on lighter?

March 26th, 2010

My boyfriend has been wanting a slim Zippo lighter for months.
I know they aren’t expensive but we have both been tight on cash lately and I feel bad that he’s having to help me out so much.
I really wanted to get it for him as a token of appreciation.

Problem: I don’t know what to have engraved… I want a quote but I can’t find one pertinent enough.

We both love music and have been dating for 3 years.
He’s fun loving, a game geek.. super sweet.

Any help?
He doesn’t smoke.

Bad Boss, Great Job… What do I do?

March 19th, 2010

I have a wonderful position where I like my co-workers, my customers, and I am proud of my business.

I am on the brink of recieving benefits (after 13 months due to poor office staff not meeting deadlines)…

I am up for employment review with a good reputation with my co workers and my clients. Many praises.

But, I have a poor senior manager, and a poor workgroup manager.

I have begged, pleaded, given notice, made compromises, and even drafted schedule templates in order to persuade my bosses to provide me with a work schedule that does not conflict with my school, and allows me time to study and to spend time with my loved ones. I have been promised cooperation: with no results, just more problems and mistakes.

Many letters and conversations have been had. I even requested a transfer, and was manipulated into staying.

I also recently cross-trained as a favor to the management to help cover some understaffed workstations. I accepted this cross train on the precedent that I would still maintain the larger portions of my hours in my preferred workstation. I recieve tips + wage at my preferred position. My alternate position is the same wage, but is not tipped and therefore cuts about 1/4 of my income. They have continued to place me in the less savory position for the majority of my weekly hours due to their constant staffing issues for this area.

Recently a co-worker in my preferred station was granted the set schedule of his choice, and it directly conflicts with my needs. Hands down, I am a more flexible and reliable employee than my co-worker, and I feel I deserve to have some of my requests fulfilled as a token of appreciation for the favors I have listed.

How can I convince, or motivate my boss to work with my needs as an employee? I am regularly told what it takes to pacify me, without any good made on their word. My boss does not take well to threats, he is a skillful conversationalist and a persuasive manipulator. Signing an official agreement is out of the question, it has been attempted, and I was made to feel I was insulting my boss. What is the best way to encourage action from my superior without retaliation?

I do not want to resign. I am being pushed to a point in which I must leave if things do not change. Otherwise my grades and loved ones will suffer. Of 14 shifts in a week, I have made myself available for 10 of them, and the typical workweek is 5-6 shifts.

Any help from the devil’s advocate?
I can see how my constant pleading for them to work with me could be a minus. I am sure they are sick of hearing it, as sick as I am of saying it. So… then what? Do I just hush up and deal with it? or do I put a foot down and say: this is the only time I can and will work for you?
