Ten Signs That You Are Ready for a New Job or Career

You've been in your job for a few years. You get a decent paycheck and your benefits are helpful. But you wonder if something's missing. You try to tell yourself you should be happy you have such a good job, but some days you have to face how unhappy you are at work.

Are you settling? Are you making do in a job that really isn't a very good fit for you?

Read this list of ten clues to determine how many of these statements reflect how you feel about your work.

1) You get depressed every time you think of going back to work after a weekend, a long weekend, or a vacation.

The closer Monday morning gets, the more a sense of dread comes over you. You feel a pit in your stomach that you can't ignore. You wish there was something, anything, you could do to avoid going to work.

2) You spend more time recovering from work than having fun.

After you leave work each day it takes you several hours to feel like yourself again. You feel so tired all you can think about is sinking into your couch and zoning out in front of your television. You may have difficulty cooking a decent meal for dinner because you are so worn out from your stressful day at work. Over time you realize you rarely have the energy to head out after work with friends. Instead you rely on a glass of wine, a carton of ice cream, or a bowl of popcorn, and a DVD movie as your outlet for fun.

3) You watch the clock all day long.

You look at the clock on your computer, your cell phone, the wall of your office. The time creeps by, slowly, so very slowly. How often do you check the time each hour? How frequently do you check the clock in the last two hours of your work day? When time moves so slowly it's a good sign you aren't enjoying your work any more.

4) You spend too much time checking your personal email rather than working.

There are lots of ways to entertain yourself when you don't feel like working--checking your personal email, sending text messages, surfing the web, scanning opportunities on your favorite job board. How much time do you spend on non-work activities during a typical workday?

5) You take frequent mental health days.

Some days you wake up and just know you can't face a day at work. What do you do? Do you call in sick? Plan a vacation day? Fabricate a doctor appointment? Leave work early? Come up with something you need to do for your children? An occasional mental health day is a good strategy to take care of yourself. If you find you are taking more and more mental health days, you may want to take a look at why you aren't happy at work.

6) You have a resignation letter drafted and waiting.

On really bad days, do you spend time tweaking your resignation letter? Does it relieve some of your feelings of dread to imagine how you'll feel when you submit your letter or to visualize how you'll celebrate your new found freedom? Do you have a time line for when you want to resign? If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to start looking at your options so that you have something in the works when you do submit your resignation letter.

7) You complain about your job to anyone who listens.

Who knows you don't like your job? A better question may be: Who doesn't know? Do your closest friends know how frustrated you are at work? What about your immediate family members? How about your coworkers and colleagues? Do you talk with your hair stylist, manicurist or chiropractor about how unhappy you are? Are any of these people tired of hearing you complain about your work situation? Do they wish you'd get on with your life already? Rather than just talking about what's not working for you, it may be time to do some personal soul searching to determine your next move.

8) You are bored silly at work.

The tasks you do at work don't engage you any more. You've been there, done that. You can do the work in your sleep...some days you feel like you are! While you try to get your work done, you dream of having work that's fulfilling, meaningful, and engaging. You don't know what that will be, but you hope something else is out there that you can do.

9) You are consistently late for work.

No matter how hard you try, you seem to show up late for work. It's like pulling teeth to get yourself out of your house and into your car to get to work. You get distracted by the simplest tasks at home, trying to do just one more thing before you head into work. You may also find that you are showing up late for appointments, meetings, and phone calls. Your tendency to show up late may also manifest in your inability to meet deadlines at work. Although you may chalk your tardiness up to laziness or procrastination, I encourage you to see it as a sign that you don't want to be doing what you feel you must do. Time to look at your options!

10) You hope to win the lottery to solve your life's problems.

When all looks bleak, it's common to look for a miracle to get yourself out of the bind you are in. For some it's daydreaming about winning the lottery so that they no longer need a job to fulfill their monetary needs. Others may dream about what they'll do when they recieve an inheritance, finding a spouse who is stable financially, or winning big at Vegas. Whatever your dream, it's likely you are searching for confirmation that your time in this job is limited.

If you recognize any of these signs in your own life, it's time to make a commitment to yourself to explore your work options. Don't waste the days of your life in a job you don't like. Even if you can't make a move today, you can start exploring your options today. As soon as you envision what you want to do, the path that will take you to your future work will become clearer and clearer.

Dear President

Good day Madam President

It is a challenge for me to do this letter but I would like to tell the world the feelings I have with regards with our country. I would like to write something in Philippine history the say of a simple man like me about the condition and what I think most people think about our country.

Ms. Gloria Macapagal was elected as Vice President of our country when Joseph Etrada was elected as our 13th president. Due to Jueteng parolla controversy that was revealled by his companion and the Ilocos Governor Chavit Singson he was forced to resign as president of the Philippines. Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo becomes the president of our country that day. All Filipinos are hoping that life becomes much better because the country is in the hands of a woman, once more. First was with Corazon Aquino- but sorry to say she is not a good leader for me for there is no such great opportunies or good things done during here presidency. Life of Filipinos continues to go down from Ferdinand Marcos, Corazon Aquino, to Fidel Ramos, to Joseph Estrado and worsten with the hands of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

For the first time in the history of Philippines when a President got a negative zero approval rate from the results of survey. Another thing, how many times she change her Administration officials. Even the frequent changes of positions for Department of Justice, the people in the Department of Defence and the Policeman Generals. Now look on the people you appointed for these positions? If you have power to change these people why can't you yourself goes down and look for a worthy one.

There are so many people who goes on strike, rallies, people who resigned during her presidency and even people who goes out publicly to tell the problem and your wrong doings.You loose our trust and our hope. Trust for me is very important for a leader. You become a leader because we trust you, we believe in you. Now if a single person does not trust you I believe that you have to re-examine yourself and see if you are still worthy.

You heard a lot of advises, feedback from your countrymen, seeing the current situation, I know that you are very stressful and pressured but you should act now. You have to listen to your conscience and think that your family will suffer for the years or generations to come.

I am saying this because I would like you to go down to your chair because you lost your credibility, your integrity and the trust of millions of Filipino.

We suffered a lot from your actions and we need change. We need someone who can run, who can handle this country better. A nationalist person, a person who thinks not for himself but for the good of his country.

I know it is easy for me to say these things for I am not in your position. But you need to re-examine yourself, the people around you if you are still worthy to be called a leader.

Just to add, I am not agaist the government for I still believe that we need government which will lead the people. But we need people who are trusted and have a great credibility and integrity.

Hope you can hear these words.

Skin Care

I have an oily skin, due to hormone imbalance, lack of sleep and stress at work so I always have acne in my face. I have to regularly visit my derma for treatment but after a few weeks acne is coming back. Sometimes I become so crazy on finding the right medicine to get rid of this to my life.

Currently, I use toner, and tretinoin to treat it. Regular cleaning, a good sleep, less stress, and regular facial prevents it from coming.

I found some information that might help for those like me who need some advice.

Acne Treatment

The Condition
Treatments Available
FAQs
The Condition

All forms of acne start with one basic lesion known as the comedo. A comedo is an enlarged hair follicle that is clogged with oil and bacteria. The comedo, which is invisible to the naked eye, is just waiting underneath the surface of your skin until certain conditions lead to its growth into an inflamed lesion. Bacteria thrive inside the swollen follicle as the skin continues to produce more oil. Inflammation of the surrounding skin increases while your white blood cells fight against the bacteria.

The different types of acne are:

1. Non-inflammatory Acne

Closed comedo or whitehead: The lesion is called a closed comedo or a whitehead when the clogged follicle remains underneath the surface of the skin. These lesions in the skin usually come into sight as small whitish bumps.

Open comedo or blackhead: An open comedo or a blackhead is a lesion wherein the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin. It has always been thought that the dark appearance of the plug is due to dirt. Actually, this is due to the buildup of melanin, which is the dark pigment of the skin that causes the plug’s dark appearance.

2. Inflammatory Acne

Papule: The papule is the mildest form of inflammatory acne. This manifests as a small, firm pink bump on the skin. This lesion is usually tender when touched and most of the time thought of as an intermediary step between non-inflammatory and clearly inflammatory lesions.

Pustule: A pustule is a small round lesion similar to the papule. On the other hand, a pustule, unlike a papule, is clearly inflamed and has visible pus. It usually appears red at the base and has a yellowish or whitish center. This lesion usually does not have a lot of bacteria. The chemical irritation from the sebum components such as fatty free acids is what commonly causes the inflammation.

Nodule or cyst: This is an inflamed lesion that contains a lot of pus and is stuck deep within the skin. They are usually large and painful. When the contents of a comedo have leaked out into the surrounding skin, nodules start to develop. As the local immune system responds, it leads to the production of pus. Nodules are considered to be the most severe form of acne lesion and they may last for weeks or months. The contents of a lesion harden into a deep cyst. Most of the time, the nodules and cysts leave behind deep scars.

Acne conglobata: This lesion is a rare but serious form of inflammatory acne. They develop most of the time on the back, buttocks, and chest. Together with the presence of pustules and nodules, severe bacterial infection may also be present.

Acne can be caused by a combination of factors at work deep down the surface of your skin. There are five primary factors which contribute to the production of acne. Each of these factors differs between individuals.

Causes of Acne:

Hormones: Majority of those suffering from acne usually reports seeing it first during puberty. At this stage the body starts to produce hormones called androgens which lead to the enlargement of the sebaceous gland. This enlargement occurs naturally during the development of the body. However, over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands by the androgens leads to the development of acne and sometimes well into adulthood. Acne flare-ups related to the menstrual cycle and sometimes pregnancy are also caused by the androgens.

Extra sebum: Extra sebum is produced when the androgens stimulate the sebaceous gland. As it goes up the follicle on its way to the surface, the sebum combines with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of the follicle. Although this process is normal, there is an increased chance of clogging because of the extra sebum in the follicle thus leading to the formation of acne.

Follicle fallout: In general, the dead cells within the follicle gradually shed and are forced out onto the surface of the skin. However, patients with overactive sebaceous glands, which happen usually during puberty, shed dead cells more rapidly. As this combines with extra sebum, the dead skin cells results in the formation of a plug in the follicle and prevents finishing of the natural process of renewal of the skin.

Bacteria: Bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, acne for short, are a regular occupant of all skin types. Bacteria are a part of the natural sebum maintenance system of the skin. On the other hand, when a follicle is clogged, the P. acnes bacteria quickly multiply and thus create a chemical reaction which is inflammation of the follicle and the surrounding skin.

Inflammation: As unwanted bacteria come across your body, an inflammatory response occurs. This inflammatory response is also known as chemotaxis. This is where the white blood cells protect the body by attacking these bacteria. It is also what causes pimples to become red, swollen, and painful. The inflammatory response varies from patient to patient; however, studies show that it is particularly strong in adult women.

Simple sore throat may lead to infection

Last week, my throat was aching after eating many sweets last weekends. I enjoyed eating at least 5 leche flan, and other sweets during and after the House blessing / Birthday and at the same time Family reunion in my titas house inn Laguna.

Not only I ate a lot but I also did sung for we rented videoke. At night we had night swimming in their pool for about 2 hours. Hahahahhaha. Not very nice thing to do.

When I get back to work, my throt started to get irritated. I did not take any medicines except chewing strepcils. The next day, I feel like their is a phlegm... opppsss sorry.... now. So I take Solmux (Carbocisteine). But it did not help so I bought erythromycin (Pharex). But it also did not relieve the pain. I started to loose my voice this time when I remember the medicine prescribe by my doctor. It is also Erythromycine but it is brand- Abbot. Erythromycin Stearate Eruthrocin 500mg. After taking 1 capsule and resting a few hours I feel much better. I still take Solmux and after a day my voice came back. I don't know but this Abbot brand is very nice and very effective in this kind of sickness I have.

Sore Throat

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the throat or pharynx. In most cases it is painful, and thus is often referred to as a sore throat. Inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis) and/or larynx (laryngitis) may occur simultaneously, which can make eating difficult or painful.

Most cases are caused by viral infections (40%-60%), with the remainder caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, or irritants such as pollutants or chemical substances.

Treatment of viral causes are mainly symptomatic while bacterial or fungal causes may be amenable to antibiotics and antifungals respectively.

So my advise, do not take strepsils if you think the first one did not help. Just consult the doctor and take capsule or tablet drug. This strepsils did not help at all in my experience.

“Self-awareness is the Key to Success”

1) The wisest phrase uttered: "I don't know."
Knowing the boundaries of what you can and can’t do is knowing who you are. Admitting to others there these boundaries are is a sign of this self-awareness, of humility, and of a willingness to listen and to learn. It takes courage to admit to others that you don’t know the answer – but it is that same courage that can fuel so many other wonderful things. The courage to let others show you the way. The
courage to be creative. The courage to take risks. The courage to fail and to get up and try again. If you know who you are and what you can do today, then you will also know what you have the potential to do tomorrow. Know what you don’t know.

2) The most admirable attitude: "Stay hungry."
Unpredictability. One thing holds true every day: that something we don’t know about in advance might happen to our customers. It is important to have a passion for helping others. When we put the extra effort, it matters.

3) The most innovative thinking: break your assumptions.
Our industry changes fast. To do the same underlying assumptions year after year is a dangerous place to be – those assumptions, however, good they were at one point in time can be the complete opposite down the road. Don’t stick to past principles and operating models, even if they were right before. Don’t keep doing things the same way over and over again if it isn’t relevant to our direction anymore. Keep questioning yourself. Am I doing this today because I have always done it that way? Am I making this decision because it has always worked well for me in the past? Does the result of my action further our direction? At the end of the day, we are all here to feel good to ourselves. And that means creating value – for everyone. To create unique value, you need to understand the reason why you are living in this world.

Ask the questions “Did I create value today? Are the things I’m about to do today aligned with our Gods vision and mission?” If not, don’t do it. If so, keep doing it.

Be willing to let go of what you’ve known or done in the past, and open yourself up to new ways of thinking, new assumptions, new challenges, and new possibilities.

The true spirit is to know who you are, to set aside your ego, to have the courage to be creative and the courage to fail. If your intentions are pure and your actions
aligned with our direction, you will quickly learn that if you fall, you will easily find compassion and a helping hand from others around you.
