Human Behaviour is a Result of Habits...
More than a century ago, Thomas Carlyle wrote, "Habit is the deepest law of human nature."It's
likely that most of us would agree with that; humans are influenced
more by habit than anything. Basically, most human behavior is a result
of habits, both good and bad. Therefore, it is essential that habits be evaluated always, and that workers be...Click Here For The Full Story |

| JOKE OF THE DAY |
|
1. Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2. hard at work at his desk. He works independently, without
3. wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4. thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and always
5. finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
6. measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7. breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9. knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10. classed as an asset employee, the type which cannot be
11. dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12. promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13. executed as soon as possible
Addendum:
That
idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to
you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.

always be aware of while working around a crane... Click Here For Crane Safety Tips |

Calgary Encourages Drivers to Slow Down! Now that spring has
sprung, and nice weather is upon us, there will no doubt be a
significant increase in road work. Unfortunately, this coincides with
an increase in traffic and traffic speeds, as well. Since the main
purpose for road construction in the first place is to make roads
better and safer, the least drivers can do is think of the safety of
the people who build the roads.High speed driving can be dangerous in and of itself, but combine... Click Here For Crane Safety Tips |
