Office Romance

Office romance a taboo? According to Shakespeare, "Never did the course of true love run smooth."
- It happens frequently. Work is a great place to meet people...you already have things in common.
- Office romance can be associated with enhanced productivity. However, any romance or other source of personal happiness may produce the same results.
- Your romance may interfere with your office working relationships. Co-workers are liable to feel that your love interest relationship, especially with someone who can help your career, puts them at a competitive disadvantage.

Be Respectful of Others

You may have found the answer to your life's quest, but it may not be what others are looking for. Be respectful of others' differences and decisions, and show off your religion with your actions, not your tracts, scriptural sayings, religious icons, etc.

Plants clean the air

Studies show that specific plants remove pollutants to varying degrees. For example, bamboo palms remove formaldehyde, and peace lilies remove Benzene, commonly found in tobacco smoke. Some organizations recommend that offices have one potted plant for each 100 square feet of floor space to help remove impurities from the air.

Feng Shui

Feng shui (pronounced "Fung shway") is the Chinese art of placement. It teaches that by properly arranging items in your surroundings -- items that influence your personal well-being -- your life energy, or ch'i ("chee") will flow properly. That in turn helps you create balance, stay healthy, gain greater control of your life and improve your chances for success.

It may sound mystical and new-agey, but the principles of feng shui are grounded in common sense: create a positive and supporting working evironment. Feng shui gives you lots of ways to do this.

Choose the Right Paper

Choosing the right paper for your presentation output is becoming more confusing and more important for today's office. Here's what to consider to make sure you make the right decision for the technology you are using. Almost any paper can be used with a desktop system, but if you do not carefully select grades based on your particular design applications or equipment specifications, you will not get the quality results you should. Laser compatible papers should be used when appearance is at premium. High quality laser printers that output between 300 and 1,000 dots-per-inch can only provide the quality for which they were designed if papers accept images without feathering or flaking. This requires a specific degree of paper smoothness, as well as a specially-designed moisture content to facilitate toner fusing. Choosing the right paper begins with understanding the design and intent of the piece that you wil publish and the special requirements of your machinery. Not all paper will fulfill every application need, nor will it effectively work the same on all equipment.
