I don’t usually post stuff about e-books, but I found this one totally facinating!
As I read through this e-book, I couldn’t help but draw parallels in my own life. Was I happy? What am I doing to change my situation so I AM happy? What is making me miserable?
Basically, all the stuff I’ve written about on this blog is covered in this e-book. But with step-by-step guides on how to get organized and maintain a healthy and happy life.
Its only $14.95 and worth every penny. Download it from here!
So, you’ve gotten laid off… Hopefully you’ve taken the steps I already outlined in my previous two posts about this topic. As the conclusion of this series, I’ll give you all some advice on what to do after a layoff.

I’ve seen people laid off en-masse by calling everyone into a conference room and having security escort them all out the door, and I’ve seen it done on an individual basis. In the end, there is no good way of laying off employees. During a layoff, people will react in different ways, some are sad, some angry, some will even react destructively. But what is the best way to act? What should you do?
Over the years, I’ve seen my share of layoffs. I’ve seen co-workers get escorted off the premises, and I’ve seen people given a 2 weeks notice. Either way, it always comes as a shock. Most people I know NEED their paychecks. And when that is cut-off, people react in a bunch of different ways.
You get a few people that are just absolutely stunned, they believe that they don’t deserve to be laid off, and that there are others that were somehow more deserving of a termination. There are others that look at it as “heck, I was unhappy anyway… good riddance.” And then there are even others that look at it like its an opportunity to make a change in their lives.
I originally started this series of posts thinking about how you can prepare yourself for a layoff. But what I ended up writing about was a more of a set of tips for dealing with the entire layoff process, from preparing yourself before the layoff to dealing with things after the layoff.
You can tell a lot about a person by the vehicle that they drive. I believe its an indicator of how they operate in life. If a person maintains a clean car, they will tend to live a fairly organized life. Someone that keeps a messy car, will operate their life the same way.
But how about the type of car? Does that say something about you? Does your choice of vehicle say more about you that you think? I believe it does. Just like pets, people resemble the type of car they drive.
The other day, I was in the male restroom at work, and a co-worker came in and started talking to me. This led me to start thinking about a blog entry about Male Restroom Etiquette… It is my view that under most circumstances, one should NEVER talk to another man while using the public restroom facilities. Just ask Senator Craig what he thinks about it… (ok, bad political reference… but you had to know it was coming)
After posting my last commentary on Eating Pet Peeves, I felt I needed to say a little something about table etiquette. Some people have it, some people don’t. I feel this has a LOT to do with your upbringing. Do you hold your silverwear properly or do you just shovel food into your mouth? Do you eat slowly and chew your food with your mouth closed, or do you act like a modern day Attila the Hun at the table?
Someone asked me the other day, if I had any pet peeves. Of course I do, but I found out that a lot of them have to do with eating or habits that people have while eating. I eat out fairly frequently, and I was once married to a “picky” eater so I find myself uniquely qualified to compile a list such as this. Feel free to comment on these and add your own.
