How to work with an irritating boss and stay cool

irritating boss

Is your boss a yeller, a micromanager or clueless? Does he put insulting notes on memos that co-workers can see? Does he throw things? Here's a guide for dealing with an irritating boss.


1. When your boss calls your name, take a deep breath. It will all be over soon.

2. If you are called into his office and told to shut the door; smile, shut the door, sit down, and shut up. He can't say anything you don't already know, and if he says something that you deem incorrect, you have the right to defend yourself. Present yourself with confidence.

3. By now you're probably pissed. If you don't smoke cigarettes, go outside anyway. Call a friend. Grab a co-worker and go have a laugh in the pantry or anywhere that can keep you away, even if for just a minute.

4. Having co-workers who you really get along with should be at the top of your list of "reasons to stay in this job." There are so many stressors in the workplace, but if you have people around you who you can relate to, it helps calm your nerves and control your emotions.

5. If you work in an environment where you hate your co-workers as much as you hate your boss, then call someone. your friends mom, dad, or brother could help cheer you up. You could also go to metroholica.com to get some useful tips.

6. Don't forget who you are. Never let someone make you feel like less of a person. don't let anyone ruin you happiness, don't be a victim. And if you ever feel that it has gone too far, go to the next person above your supervisor. If all else fails, call the HR. or find a new Job.

Bling is in

Bling is in

 

All that glitters is not gold…..but yes….all that glitters can make a fashion statement.

Sequined ensembles were seen on disco divas and crooners of local bands. But the gleaming sequin had a dramatic turn-around and suddenly found favour with designers all over the world.

Bling is in girls, not only on clothes but on everything….Saris bathed in sequins, all-over sequined shift dresses, sequined minis, sequined boleros and jackets, sequined wide-legged pants and even sequined stockings have been shown by the designers, both desi and international on the runway. Now you can get sequins in muted tones with lesser shine, different shapes and then there are machines that can sew in sequins neatly on fabric within minutes. And of course the glitz is back in fashion.

 

But too much of anything is bad. Going all-out in a sequinned dress is great for the party season, but keep your silhouette simple and keep the accessories to basic and that too in muted tones. For the not-so-daring divas, sequins do well in bit-parts: try a clutch with an otherwise quieter outfit, or throw on a bohemian sequinned bolero. You can smarten sequins buy adding them into plain tailoring, like on the side-seams of pants or just on the hem of the skirts. Flashy sequinned trousers can look great with a plain blouse - equally, a sequinned top will go with jeans or tux trousers. Sequinned saris too look chic. A black net sari with all-over sequins is great for a cocktail soiree. Sequins have something of the angelic about them, And in present times of economic gloom, a dash of glitz will go a long way to heighten your mood and your fashion statement. So go, shine on with shiny, crazy sequins!

You can be a fashion icon

What do fashion icons like Bipasha Basu, Malaika Arora, Kareena Kapoor and fashion designer Katrina Kaif have in common? They all have their own style. It's logical, you'll say - that's exactly the reason that they're considered "fashion icons". Let's think a little bit more about this.

Why do we follow and imitate "fashion icons"? What do we want from them? Does it simply amuses us to watch how they dress? Or do we want to be just like them? Perhaps we try to discover their secrets by analyzing their look in every little detail. If so, the answer won't come as a surprise - their secret lies in the fact that they have their own personal style. So if our goal is become "like them", all we have to do is develop our own personal style. It's that simple! How to do that? Here are some tips:

Don't try to copy the trends of the moment, but instead interpret them to suit your own personality. Don't be a fashion victim!

If you haven't discovered your own style yet, study some photos of you from when you were younger. How did you dress then? What outfits appealed to you most when you were a child? This could make you realize what you really like to wear (as opposed to what you're influenced to wear by the fashion magazines).

Shop with your heart. When you go shopping, try to be guided by your own taste and not the taste of friends or store clerks. Choose clothing items that you instantly feel attracted to.

Mix pieces of the last collections with new pieces. It is exactly this way of mixing different clothing items that will make your outfit special and unique.

Don't fear being different from the others!

Having your own style also means knowing how to dress tastefully. In order to develop a certain style, you require a little planning ahead. Always try to spend a little time to analyze how different pieces of your wardrobe go together. Even though you choose your outfits carefully, make them look natural (and not too studied).

Dress for yourself, and not for the others - and especially not for the men! Just be yourself and make sure your style reflects your own personality. This way you'll be a lot more attractive than by wearing revealing clothes in which you probably don't feel comfortable ..

Take good care of your general aspect (hair, nails, skin).

Believe in your own style, regardless how much (or less) the others like it. Wear your outfits with pride. In the end, you'll only admire and follow one fashion icon: yourself.

new year part safety tips for girls

It's again the Christmas time and New Year that we all have been waiting for the past 12 months. New resolutions were made; new hopes and aspirations fill every ones heart with happiness. Almost every country is in a festive mood with Christmas and New Year just round the corner. Huge celebration takes place in every section of the city. Decorations, shopping offer all bring back the memories of the last year festivities.

When we are busy for New Year party planning, we should also take care of safety measures which will help us to make this season happy and safe

Following are the party or night out safety tips for your protections

You should always watch your drinks

Ladies, watch your drinks, and who is getting them for you. A few a-holes out there think that dropping a drug in your drink is a good idea, so just be prepared. Never accept a drink from a stranger, do not leave a drink unattended and never accept a drink that you didn't see poured. ,Don't be afraid to walk away pour out your drink and get another one, if you are unsure, ask if you can have his cup and see his reaction, When you mix young people and alcohol, stupid things happen and situations can very easily get out of hand. If you're been drinking with a couple of guys and they turn on you, people will blame you. It's not right, but that won't make any difference.

Things you should always carry

1. Always carry enough money for a tax

2. A pepper spray

3. don't forget to carry your cell phone and make sure you have charged the battery before going to party

Never loan a stranger your cell phone and do not leave your purse unattended, when you carry pepper spray on a key chain or in your purse - don't tell anyone about it. Surprise is a big strategic advantage if you need it.

Never neglect your sixth sense

When the voice in your head says something is wrong, stop and listen. If a date is making your uncomfortable, declare it immediately. Tell them to, "STOP RIGHT NOW". Do not waffle. Do not worry about being embarrassed or hurting anyone's feelings. Once you've made that clear, leave. You don't have to leave in a huff, just say that you feel it's time to go. Leave the option open to go out again (if you'd like) but tonight is over.

Take Care of your Friends

Never leave alone you friend when she's had too much to drink. There will always be another party, another night out, but your friend is vulnerable and as difficult as she might be – take charge and get her back to where she is safe

Never Trust a stranger

A party is filled with all kinds of people. They do not have an automatic right to your trust. There will be people there who are NOT like the friends you grew up with and really don't deserve your trust, so hand it out carefully...

You should avoid traveling alone

They say there is power in numbers, and its right, especially when you have been drinking. Yeah your beer goggles may be on, and you may think you have met the man of your dreams who is telling you everything you want to year... check with your friends first, and try not to leave them. There is always tomorrow or next week.

Try to avoid dangerous situations

Avoiding dangerous situations is the easiest way to stay safe. Traveling with friends always helps, but also being aware of your surroundings is key. If you feel you are being followed try to get to a safe location as quick as possible. If you are alone don't stop to talk to a stranger if you don't feel comfortable. Try to walk and stay in highly lit areas at night, and always stay within view of other people. Avoid shortcuts through as it could be a prime place to get attacked.

What you should do in dangerous situations

If you still end up in a dangerous situation it is important to know what to do. If you are confronting always have a plan to get out safe. Get on your cell phone with someone you trust and tell them where you are and what is happening, if necessary tell them to call the police. If you can't get a hold of someone, and you do not feel safe, dial 100 or 911 , and keep your finger on the call button - If something happens hit the button and yell out where you are and what is happening. If someone tries to steal your car, throw the keys far away from the car and run the opposite direction, this will help save you from being kidnapped. If someone attacks you, don't yell help, yell fire! In any situation where someone asks for your wallet or purse, throw it over them and run away as fast as possible. If you are attacked and you have pepper spray or a tazer, use it!

Always remember, Good people can do bad things and smart people can do stupid things. As simplistic as this sound, a more harmful simplification is the myth that "Stranger Danger" is the greatest risk to a young girl

How to survive in office politics


Do you suffer from office blues? Does the thought of going to the office makes your soul shiver? Is it the same feeling you had during your 

school days when the mere thought of going to school made you feel sick thanks to the big bully gang of your class who were ready to pull you down and make fun of you given any chance? 

Don't assume that you can't handle office politics. It surely is not an easy task but it is very much possible. Here's how to do it: 


1. Forgive & Forget: Don't get mad or even. I know, forgiving and forgetting is easier read than done! However, as leaders it is important for you to look at the end result you want. Will holding a grudge help you reach your vision? Probably not. We are at work to do a job and I have yet to see grudge holding listed in any job description (not even in Other Duties as Assigned.)


2. Don't try to change or resist company culture including dress, communication styles and office hours. Being different does not work.


3. Don't complain:Like gossiping, complaining is a vice that's hard to break once you get into it. Complainers are annoying, counterproductive, and have a habit of dragging others down with them. Bosses like problem solvers, not problem seekers. If there's something about the company you don't like, make yourself a solution to the problem, not a part of it.

Be a source of pleasure. If you laugh and smile a lot, but keep a professional stance, you help keep things light and fresh. Encourage people to feed off your good vibes.

4. Practice self-awareness. This is a life-long task and every day you can become a little bit more aware of how people perceive you. Just doing your job is not enough. You need to do it in a way that makes a positive impression on everyone else.

5. Don't play with a person's reputation: If you know that a person has got a bad name in the office circle, it is not an obligation on your part to believe in the story. Remember today you are on the other side of the court but then times can change at an instant. The same ball may drop in your court also, you may not be wrong , but still people may be saying so. Then what? At least some people will come on your side then. These can be the same people whose reputations you did not try to hamper during their troubled day

6. Manage your stress levels so you can avoid emotional displays of inconsistent behavior and inconsistent messages. Most emotional outbursts come from unmanaged stress.

7. Don't participate in office politics: Try to keep yourself unattached from the whole mess. Just because people are badmouthing a person you also are not supposed to do it. You can take a neutral stand and observe from a distance.

8. Be approachable all the time – in your cube, in the hallway, even in the bathroom.

9. Network before you need to network. Being good at politics means that you are good at relationship building, and you can count on a wide range of people when you need them.

10. Talk to people
Work is about people. You work with people and for people. A faceless, impersonal work environment goes against this, breeding dissatisfaction and resentment. You should talk to people face-to-face whenever possible, reserving e-mail for those not in your office. When you make the effort to communicate in person, it shows a knack for interaction and good communication. So take the initiative and leave your cubicle to deliver a message.

In the workplace, isolation is the best way to be overlooked, if not spurned. When you refuse to be a part of the workplace, you might be setting yourself up to be the subject of gossip, or worse, the scapegoat of trivial problems. So don't be an outsider and practice the art of one-on-one.

11. Interaction is the solution to many problems, communication gaps have the power to do a lot of damage and you could avoid that. You know a colleague has been badmouthing you, rather than returning the favour, you could actually go forward and talk directly to the concerned person. You can let him know how you felt about what he said about you.

I9. If interaction has not brought any results it is about time you raised your voice openly rather than suffering alone in a job or leaving it as a loser. You know you are right and in spite of your efforts nobody is paying heed. Remember - "Never start a fight but if a fight has been initiated from the other side, do finish it". 12. Have a sense of equity: What is right is right for you as is for any other person. If you know this time you are on the wrong side, have the courage to come forward and accept it. You should take the responsibility for your wrongdoings just as you expect from others.

13. Keep track: Keep yourself updated with the happenings in your office. Information be it of any kind is always welcome. This will also help you in preparing for the future. Many a times you take some actions in the reflex mode but when you know the details of how is how, you can avoid this and as such avoid a lot of unpleasantness in future.

Things you should carry in your handbag

Christmas dress ideas for girls

For those who prefer simpler clothing, try ablack, navy or pewter colored skirt. Longer lengths from the knee down to the ground are more elegant.
