Trends in the workplace

Hey Dears,

Today, I thought I should share my critics in the way working people dress. Well, it may seem too obvious that a person has to dress appropriate at all times. However, sometimes you would be amazed with what people wear at work. Some writings or images or graffiti on t shirts/shirts might be insulting should never be allowed which is my first point here. Then again the level of covering up the "goodies" is another issue.

Well,  this is what i think for a typical male and female going to work.

Yes! im still very traditional i guess :)

And also those with tattoos should cover them while at work. Its a free world yes but i just think thats the way a workplace should be! this is my opinion and you are not subjected to agree with me neither am i subjected to your opinion.

Happy new week! Enjoy xxx

Happy Labor Day!

Hey Dears,

I've always known First of May as Labour day. Well its because in Tanzania we celebrate Labour day on "May Day"/International Labour Day. So today is just like any other working day for Tanzanians but not for Americans and Canadians.
And since for the past two years Canada and the States have been my second home, I would like to take time to wish a Happy Labor day to all those working people out there who spend 40hours a week to labour or even more working hours.
May you enjoy this free day off and remember to appreciate the efforts of those who gave you the right to enjoy a day off by making this day a public holiday!

xx Happy Labor Day xx

Is it Labour or Labor?

Hey Dears,

I'm sure some of you have had this doubt of whether it is Labour or Labor? As a matter of fact, either word is correct it means the same thing. There is no difference in meaning when you write Labour or labor.
Labor is American English and Labour is used by the rest of the world in Canada, the UK, Australia etc including their colonies.So, since Tanzania was among the British colonies, I grew up using "Labour" as the correct form. As for now, i use both ways i really don't mind using Labor though it still feels weird spelling Labour as Labor, it feels like I misspelled the word.
   Well, one of my profs mentioned that it is necessary to note the difference. For instance, if i mention i finished my "Honours" degree instead of "Honors" degree it might not bring a good image of respecting the American culture. So, beware in your CV's, if you are writing to a Canadian company make sure to use "Honours" and not "Honors".
     Well dears, i want to know from you, Which one do you use? Labour or Labor? Honour or Honor?

Till then, xx

Linkedin Vs Facebook

My dear readers
Todays post was inspired by most of my friends graduating this year.
I woke up every early ( jetlag issues) then as i was wondering in bed, i came to think about taking LinkedIn serious. I love facebook because i get to keep in touch in my friends over seas. I also love twitter for breaking news and just reading tweets. However, my love for  LinkedIn beats it all. LinkedIn is professional and yet entertaining. i spent a few hours reading a few articles in Linkedin and thats when i decided im totally gonna put an eye on it.
So my dears lets connect on Linkedin and be professional who knows what opportunities might arise from it.
Have a good day!
