Now that is Seriously Epic!

You’ll be happy to hear this is only a short post!
 
Firstly, I wanted to share some news my friend Greg (remember Mr Greg of the Chicken & Eagle fame?) just texted me… Apparently, surviveatwork.com is the number 1 site listed by Bing for the keywords Survive at Work.
 
“Well big deal Liz.  I mean the site is called Survive at Work, so you know, it’s hardly a mahoosive achievement of gargantuan proportions“.
 
Actually it is.
 
For those of you familiar with the complexities of search rankings, you’ll appreciate just how damn hard it is to get ranked for a search.  So to appear on the first page is awesome.  To appear as the first listing on the first page is even more awesome.  And well, to appear first out of 25,500,000 results is just the most awesomest thing ever 🙂
 
Right now, I feel like I’ve managed to land Andromeda I on the moon. Andromeda I – for those of you who are not friends with me on Facebook – is the toilet-roll rocket ship that I built as an economically viable alternative for the recent space taxi contract. Needless to say, Boeing won the contract. But I digress… What I’m trying to say is that I’m very happy in a quite surprised sort of way.
 
By the way, here’s the proof (courtesy of Greg):

Top Ten Time Management Tips

This week I experienced somewhat of an epiphany (which, contrary to expectations is not the name of the singer who sang “I think we’re alone now” in 1987).  This morning, I looked over my “to do” list and realised I’d managed to accomplish…  *drum roll* next to nothing on there.  Aaaargh!!!

Now, just before you assume I’ve simply spent the week lounging in bed, watching “Murder She Wrote” re-runs or playing Candy Crush, I haven’t.  I’ve been working like a little Trojan.  So what’s happened? read more

Happy Monday from Survive at Work. Make a Difference

Happy Monday #23

Good morning 🙂
 
How did your weekend go? Did you get up to much? I had a fantastically relaxing time, starting with a good old steak meal on Friday. I spent most of Saturday reading and, yesterday, well yesterday I watched a couple of films.
 
Including one that inspired today’s Happy Monday…

Happy Monday!

Have you seen The Lego Movie? My goodness, it’s awesome! You really need to catch it if you haven’t. And even if you have seen it, you need to watch it again!
 
In dedication to good old Lego, today I present you with this fantastically happy Lego song. I dare you to watch this and not hum the tune all day…. mwahahahaha! 😀
 

 
And in the words of Emmet (our Lego hero): read more

Survive a toxic boss, moody manager, aggressive leader. Hate work. Hate my job.

How to Survive a Toxic Boss

I’ve received a few inbox messages over on Facebook that meander into the topic of toxic bosses.  So it’s probably quite a good time to make a post on the subject.  I hope it helps!

So, what do you mean by Toxic Boss?

Obviously, this isn’t a post about asbestos-ridden or uranium-drenched managers.  So, what do we mean by toxic boss?
 
Toxic Leadership is probably more easily described than defined.  Corporate Management Analyst Gillian Flynn did quite a good job of it in 1994; describing a toxic manager as the: read more

Happy Monday #22

Before we start…

Before I get into Happy Monday, I wanted to say I’m sorry!

As you’ll have noticed, there’s been little activity on here over the past few weeks, other than the regular Happy Monday posts.  You’d be in your rights to think I’ve forgotten all about you… but I promise, I haven’t!  The truth is that I’ve been a busy little bee working on a new and super exciting project.  Survive at Work definitely hasn’t slipped my mind, but I have had to give this other project more of my attention for a little while. read more
