It’s not my job: A self-fulfilling prophecy

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:41:43 +0000

This is something I think I have always advocated in the work place. Everyone who knows me, knows that I am definitely against kissing tail because I give out respect that I receive. When it comes to being a helpful and diligent employee, I believe that is a way to show respect in the work place. Treat your neighbor exactly how you would treat yourself and yes, that means your boss too lol. Check out this excerpt and read the full article when you have time.

Before I hear from everyone telling me how, if you don’t put your foot down, you’ll end up with more work than one person could ever finish, let me explain. It is true that some managers fall easily into the trap of accepting new duties on behalf of the team in order to look better in the eyes of his or her superiors and then pass everything on to the team. And sometimes IT pros find that when they switch job roles, whether due to a promotion or a lateral move, their old duties seem to follow them… read more

Internet Explorer Grrrrr

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:43:27 +0000

Okay this maybe a geeky post, but I have had so much trouble lately with this browser. Recently I re-vamped my site and start development on a clients site with similar features. Everything looks great in all other browsers, but IE! IE would not show the center and navigation elements AT ALL!!! Last night I found that in IE if you close a button tag with it breaks… HIDES! everything under that element.

Anyway… sorry for the rant, but that was bothering me for a week. Ahhh the joys of web design.
