How to stay positive with Quiet Quitters!

We all know one or two quiet quitters

I don’t say this lightly, I am sure you know one or two people who don’t do as much work as the rest of the people. You probably even started to get annoyed with them because they aren’t doing as much as you. There’s even a small chance that you have started hinting to the higher ups about them. You know I think they probably already know and nothing you can say or do will make them do the work like they should. You just have to admit and do what you can for yourself. You can’t control what others do or how they do their jobs. The only thing you can really do is make it a positive experience for yourself.  So the real question is how do you not get dragged down by the people in the office and always have a positive mindset.   I am going to talk to about how I do it when I need a pick me from all the negativity in the office.

Think about your future

This one has helped me tramendously, even if I have to work at the same job for a while, I am always thinking about what will come next and that always keeps me from dwelling on those who don’t do their jobs.   It isn’t always easy and that can be very challenging at times because who you might have to deal with and not get angry with.  It however isn’t the only thing I do.

Find Reason to be Thankful

This is something I do all the time, because when I am finding reason to be thankful all the negativity goes away.  I find coming up with positive things to say to myself every morning to help me get up and go to work.  It also helps me keep myself from worry about those quiet quitters as much because you know when your happy they don’t seem to bother me.  I am doing my own little thing and they can stay where they are.  It’s not easy sometimes and it can be quiet difficult to deal with them or work with them but sometimes that is just the price of getting paid.

Don’t Dwell on their inactions

It can be quite hard not to think about what they aren’t doing and what you are doing.   They will be bored or not doing much work for the hours they are there.  You probably have even dwelled on just how fustrating that can be when they aren’t working nearly enough.  You have to stop watching them because it will not help you.  This is another easy to say but hard to do, because we all see them and think how they are keeping their jobs?   That is their problem not ours to worry about and we should just keep busy and let them be.

 Find People who appreciate you

This can seem so simple but very useful.  Even if your current job people don’t appreciate you, those aren’t the only people who can show you appreciation.  You can find people who appreciate you all over the world not just in your little part of the world.  Even that small amount of people who appreciate you will make going to job that much easier and more enjoyable because they are the true reasons why you go to work.  Not the people there or even your boss, people who want you to be happy will always show you their appreciation and respect.   The job is just a job and that is where you will have to be but that doesn’t mean you can be happy at your job.   Let everyone else be unhappy but you can be happy and enjoy yourself at work.

Even these small recommendations will help you to get a better perspective on what you want to accomplish at your job daily.  Keep you moving forward and maybe even make you a little bit more happier than the rest of your coworkers.  Who know’s they are probably watching just because they want to be as happy as you and are trying to find out how to do it.  Do you have tips that help you with keeping a positive mindset?  why not share them and help others find ways to keep themselves happy.

Oprah Recommends the Kindle!

Today in Chicago, and on TV screens across the USA, Oprah Winfrey is going to recommend her new “favorite gadget,” which is Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader. A brief video has appeared on Amazon’s website to plug the show — as spotted by Chris Nuttall at the Financial Times — which will also feature a guest appearance by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. (Not his first, by the way.)

Is Spore Worth 49.99?

So I been doing a little digging and trying to find out what the heck people are complaining about and I found some great reviews telling me exactly why people hate EA.  They don’t necessarily hate Spore or Will Wright, but the Security around The Spore game.

So In a couple of these comments.  These reviews talk about Creating the creatures and All.  I’ll submit some of the reviews that I thought was relevant and let you decide for yourself.  I would however wonder the one big question?  Is Spore Worth the Money?   Here’s the details that I know of right now:

[ad]

  1. You can only install it 3 times before you have to call EA to get an override code.  (Although I heard rumors that if you unistall it, you will get a credit for an Install)
  2. You can not Install new hardware or upgrade your hardware because if you do, it’ll count as an install, According to this one person.
  3. The game only allows 1 login per Install.  So you can’t have more than one character and one universe according to this person.
  4. Part of the Copy Protection prevents you from taking your saved games off your computer and taking it over to your friends house, according to this Person.
  5. On the Mac Version, it tends to breaks subsequent versions of the system services according to this one person.

According to Amazon the reviews aren’t pleasant.  I tend to agree does this mean there are going to be even more people pirating it because they don’t want the DRM or Is EA going to send out a patch to fix this.  I am curious as to see how EA responds to all this NONE TOLERANCE to DRM.

After seeing all these reviews of Spore, I tend to agree with everyone.  I’ll probably wait and see before I buy my copy.  All the reviews however don’t look promising or even makes the games look like it wouldn’t be fun.
