Why would you need this kind of journal? Because you have so much going on in your head that the probability that you will forget a great thought is more than likely. You may also need this journal, because you just might want to reflect on those tried methods you did to get one thing or another done that didn't work and how might you improve upon your future efforts. Maybe you need a business journal book, because one day that child who wants a bit of your time will one day want to know why was your job more important than everything else sometimes.

Jealous Co-workers: Have you had enough yet?
Are you the victim of jealous co-workers? You know the type that have nothing better to do, but to comment on how you look, the way you walk, and the way you interact with the boss and other co-workers. People like this can easily be put in their place.
First, you will want to document what you notice about the person causing you grief. Is she disrupting work-flow by her comments? Is she bothering you by coming over to your workspace disrupting you? You will want to file a complaint with the supervisor, human resources and/or the "big boss."
Sometimes jealous co-workers try to befriend everyone in the workplace just so that they appear like they are friendly and are good workers. However, most observant workers know better, and don't bother to deal with these type of people on a daily basis. Any contact with them is strictly related to business.
The next thing you will want to do when dealing with a jealous co-worker is limit your conversation. It isn't necessary to exchange pleasantries with this person or update he or she on things like, what happened over the weekend and other personal stories. Cut your enemy out of your personal life and watch him closely in your professional life.
Lastly, you will want to make sure that you don't have to rely on this person for too much. Do what you must to limit your activity around him or her. Don't trust this person with your passwords or keys. Don't always believe everything he or she says, check behind him or her.
If you relax around a jealous person and put too much trust in him or her to handle a task on a consistent basis, keep a secret, or assist you when you are in a bind, you are asking for trouble!
When you know someone is jealous of you, someone in the workplace should know about some of your experiences with this person. Avoid name-calling or saying things that look like you are in fact the one who is jealous of your enemy. By sharing your story with a trusted supervisor or boss, this will protect you in case the jealous person attempts to set you up by making a false accusation or doing something sneaky to get you written up or worse fired in the future. Be sure you document what date and time you talked with someone else about the issue, as well as all things pertaining to this person who is jealous of you. When detailing the jealous person's activities, remember to include a date and time too.

The Key to Having a Great Work Day Is?
How you approach your work day is all up to you. Do you resent having to go to work? Then if so, don't wonder why you have so few good days. Do you start off being positive at work, but by the end of the work day, you feel like you are ready to disappear from the face of the earth? If so, don't expect the next day to be any different, it might get worse.
How we view our work days each day will help us determine whether we should even remain in the profession that we (or someone else) has chosen for us. If you want a great work day then you will have to invest some positivity in it. If you want people to love you, then you have to start loving people. If you want an increase in your wages, then you will have to look beyond what you are currently doing and seek additional opportunities to make money. Some people say goodbye to the old and hello to the new employment opportunity. Others find a diamond in the rough. Whatever you decide to make that happen, is all on you but do something!
Too many people provide lip service when it comes to having a positive day, "I feel good today," but their attire and mannerisms say, "I'm really having a bad day, can't you tell I'm faking?" Often people have far too much going on in their personal lives. Then they will bring what troubles them to work. There are those people who have too much going on at work to even think about acting or being positive about some, if not all, of what they do for eight plus hours a day.
Know what you want out of each work day before you get there, even if it means you have to plan for a few moments of peace and happiness throughout the day. Don't allow others to dictate your mood. Learn to focus on something positive when those work storms come and try to knock you down. Do you have a faith? Do you watch what you eat? Do you get a good night's rest? Do you have too much going on in your personal life? What will you have to do to make your future work days more positive and productive?

The Power of the Workplace Apology
It only takes but a minute to say, "I apologize." However, ego prevents some from saying those two little words.
I remember those apologies that I had to say when I knowingly did something wrong, but then there are those apologies that have nothing to do with you, but you say them anyway just to quiet the person with the complaint. Then you follow them up with, "What would you like for me to do for you?" The person tells you what he or she wants, and you try to reach a compromise--end of story, right? Not for some people.
The worker and client become irritated because neither one feels like their being heard. The customer doesn't feel like his or her needs are being addressed. The worker doesn't want to be held accountable. He or she may avoid apologizing while the client looks for some peace of mind. The more the two talk, the more they don't get anywhere. Everyone involved becomes increasingly angry.
We all can avoid a lot of unnecessary arguing if we just simply acknowledge that there was a misunderstanding, say we're sorry, and try to make wrongs right. What's the use in taking on a defensive stance? In the end, you just may lose more than your temper.
