How do you show your appreciation to your colleagues at work?

nicajoice @nicajoice (188) • Philippines 17 Sep 10

Today is Appreciation Day here in the office. The Human Resources Dept. prepared "Thank You" cards so all employees can get some and give them to people they greatly appreciate. I took four cards and gave them to my teammates...

Comagirl I think thats a really nice idea, but it would depend on the workplace, I hope someone in management is keeping an eye out to ensure no one is excluded or left out... In my workplace there are only 10 of us and we just try to remember to say thank you to those...

Comagirl Its very hard to advise without more knowledge of your set up, but one thing that had me flummoxed for a while was the fact my laptop apparently has a hard external wireless switch which at some point got flicked to 'off' without my knowledge!

clouds0327 @clouds0327 (1389) • Philippines 11 Aug 10

Hi everyone, I always wanted to have a touch screen computer, just thought the idea was great and that it will be more exciting and easier to use. And then I saw it being featured on TV and I got very excited. Who among here likes...

Comagirl My sister succumbed and bought one, and it is indeed a gorgeous and sexy bit of kit! But in terms of functionality, there are a number of bugs and limitations that the earliest adopters are paying the (high) price for - essentially they are beta testing a...

Would you work at the rate of $0.33 per hour?

joram328 @joram328 (503) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

I was just looking for vacancies over at odesk awhile ago and i noticed how low the rates Filipinos were offered for their services, which shockingly, some providers actually consented to and worked for. This is really a sad fact...

Comagirl I totally agree. I too write on oDesk, but not often, because frankly few people can afford me! That sounds really arrogant, but I do have minimum rates I need to make as a professional writer, and only turn to online work of this nature between retained...

jaypeesol @jaypeesol (218) • Philippines 22 Jul 10

Facebook is a great site for keeping in touch with your friends, and also for finding long lost friends and classmates, but sometimes I get friend requests from people I don't personally know. Sometimes they are friends of a...

Comagirl No, I operate my company's page on facebook with nearly 2000 fans and as such I regularly get requests from people who think that makes them a personal friend of mine as well! I hope they are not offended when I ignore them but I use Facebook a lot on a...

I want what I want when I want it... and you?

tessa9 @tessa9 (1085) • Philippines 21 Jul 10

How about you? Am I the only one? Who else feel that the world owes them something. It may sound so self absorb but sometimes I really feel that way. Who else feels the same way.

Comagirl I believe we are all responsible for our own actions, and that it is not wrong to be clear about what you want and go for it - provided it doesnt hurt anyone else or infringe their human rights, then if you find yourself holding back, you have to ask yourself...

Penny Pinching

santosmarichris @santosmarichris (1849) • Philippines 20 Jul 10

If Queen Elizabeth is Penny Pinching, why can't we? What are your ways of penny pinching? For me I tried to buy only what I need and think 3x or more if I'm just buying what I want. I have a limit price on how much an item should...

Comagirl It's great to be thrifty! I have some ideas... first see if you can get it second hand or on eBay, then look at freecycle - give stuff away, what goes around comes around. Don't waste money out of laziness eg by missing bill payment deadlines or failing to pay...

Comagirl I think you could probably find transcribing jobs on elance or getafreelancer - if you have high standards of accuracy and can turn work around fast, you can probably earn some money doing that. Good luck!

Long Distance Parenting

ip5217 @ip5217 (1655) • Philippines 20 Jul 10

Nowadays, when you live in a country whose employment opportunity is scarce, you are often times left with no choice but to that overseas. You are then forced to leave your kids under the custody of a family member or someone you...

Comagirl I think this must be the hardest of decisions. Where I live there are a lot of families that are materially well-off (private schooling, health, nice cars and homes etc), BUT are single parent families more than 50% of the time. The father is working in the UK...

Comagirl I am definitely no expert as relatively new to this, but my impression is that the only way to make a serious income here would be to have a wide network of referrals earning for you. I know those that have the time to contribute very richly to lots of...

How can I encourage my daughter to speak English

Muteki @Muteki (114) • Japan 9 Jul 10

My spouse is Japanese, I am English and we live in Japan. Japan is not an English speaking environment at all. I speak English to my daughter "only 16 months old" and tends to respond through reading my body language, but responds...

Comagirl Everything I have read - and this is an important issue for me as well - suggests that you should keep speaking to your daughter in English, all the time, whilst your wife speaks Japanese to her. Also look at exposing her, as she grows older, to English in the...

Spoiled Food

santosmarichris @santosmarichris (1849) • Philippines 15 Jul 10

I just hate things that are wasted, so much more if it's food. Yesterday because of the long black out, all the food in the ref was spoiled. You name it from the rice, left overs, milk, bread, fruits, sauce etc. 2...

AjaySinghBaghel @AjaySinghBaghel (5506) • India 14 Jun 10

Facebook refuses to drop Moat page

Rosie @rosie230 (1703) 15 Jul 10

Comagirl I am concerned that all the headlines and buzz (which I admit this discussion is also part of) is driving traffic to the page and attention to the story- which is one of personal tragedy for all the families involved. Clearly Moat's actions were those of an...
