Supervisory skills

I like my current job, i enjoy being a supervisor, not in the sense of "yeah, now you answer to me tricks and the fate of your career is in my hands" , but more in the sense of me seeing that all of my previous ground work is paying off and being recognized, that this is prepping me for my next career move, it's teaching me more about myself and others.</p>
<p>I had a situation yesterday where there were three people conversing and person #1 said i want to leave early and person #2 said me too, can we leave early and person #3 stated that they had to talk with their respective bosses, well person #2 stated in a very terse tone "she ain't my boss i keep telling you that, she is not my boss, she don't sign my paychecks", this was said in reference to me being that i am her direct supervisor.  Person #1 is a listener, person #2 is a reactor and person #3 is a mess  starter, an instigator.  to clarify, i was not eavesdropping, i was actually standing outside my office going through papers and these three were in the office next to mine, with the door open.  I spoke with both persons #2 & 3 and expressed my disappointment in both and explained why it could have been a problem for #2, #2 apologized and #3 said he didn't understand why it was a problem.  This conversation, although in jest, could be classified as insubordination and could have gotten #2 terminated.

This is what i learned about myself; my patience has lengthened even though my tolerance for bull has lessened.  What i have learned about others; some people don't have anything better to do with their lives other than start bull, either they are miserable and/or bored, and they get their kicks off seeing others squirm.  Some people have not learned the art of analytical restraint and while they had no intention of harming themselves or others, they do and finally some people know to sit back and listen, discern what's really going on and just keep quiet.

Be careful what you say people because the power of life and death is in the tongue and one word can make the difference between you being employed or not.

Peace and blessings wonderful people!

living in your purpose

so many of us are not living in our life's purpose for whatever reason; fear of failure, lack of finances, feeling as if we don't have enough time or lack of support. whatever that reason is you are not doing yourself, your family, your future any good if you are not moving in that purpose. you are stifling your blessings, you are hindering your future generations, shaming your ancestors and insulting your Creator. failure is a lesson, learn from it and be/do/make better the next go around, finances are not a stumbling block because sometimes all you need to do is write the idea down and then speak it, you will earn a little at a time to put towards the big picture. time does not recycle once it is gone it is gone and if you are spending time talking about what you can not do you are wasting time that should have been put towards actually doing it. if all you have is you and the Creator saying that you can, that's all you need, the others will come aboard as needed. move forward in your purpose people! (i'm talking to myself too)

Technology

Woohoo bought a new tablet that i can blog from! Hopefully that will make me more inclined being that i bought it because i hate lugging the laptop and the cell is too small to blog from.  Also making it easier to type notes for the book and my spoken word moments.  Loving technology right now!

Peace and blessing all!
