The art of writing has evolved through the years from the stone to the present day. During the stone-age writing was done on stone tablets and on walls with different strokes meaning different things. As time went by people began writing on papers and that has continued to the present day. Handwriting on paper was and still is a cumbersome process of communication and it is also prone to a lot of spelling errors in the process of writing.

Like any other computer application, Microsoft word also poses its own challenges in its application if one does not know how to operate it. In case of any challenge one can always go on the internet and type microsoft word help online and based on the specific problem you are facing you will find help. It is an easy way of communicating without all the hustle and bustle of erasing and throwing of papers. At the end of the day we keep the environment clean.

posted on 16 May 2011

I am a graduate of Hotel and Restaurant Management, and for the past 2 years, I have worked on a prestigious hotel in our town. As a normal instinct, you would want to earn more than what you can get. When my friend suggested some job vacancies on the hotel where she is working, I immediately submitted a resume through their official website. Months have passed and I was almost loosing hope on being accepted hiring me would need the hotel to support me financially considering the working visa they have to issue for me. After almost 5 months of waiting, they have offered to finance me for the working visa, and the rest of the expenses would be shouldered by me. Months before the said date for my flight, my friend also suggested that I should apply for support during cold weather. It is very cold in Canada, especially during those peak times that no enough coats can protect me. I need to figure out on How Do I Qualify For Cold Weather Payments so that I can get support from their government. Besides, I will have an official working visa when I get there and I will be considered as a normal employee of their country. I hope this could make my career on the right track, besides I am working for my family&rsquos better future.

I was underpaid and now I'm unemployed

posted on 19 March 2011

Life can be really hard. Then it can become harder. When I still had a job, I was severely underpaid. I stayed with the company because it was in the same city where my kids and ex-wife lived. It paid the bills, child support and mortgages, but it was always just enough for those needs. I lived from payday to payday. Even though I worked 15-hour shifts everyday, my pay just made it to the minimum. However, the weekends I got to spend with my kids always made up for it. So, I tell myself it's all worth it. They are the ones who matter. Well, just this year, the company closed and now I'm unemployed. I know there are insurance companies who pay for unemployment benefits, but aren't there Unemployment benefits paid by employer? I know you can get these benefits if you lose your job through no fault of your own. It was definitely not my fault. I worked hard day after day. I'm sure I deserve some sort of consolation for this. We were given severance pay equivalent to a month's salary, but that's hardly enough until I find another job in the same city.

Why it is not good to go out on a work night

posted on 11 February 2011

I rarely go out during work nights this is because a lot can really go bad when I do it. The one thing I fear about going out during a work night is the fact that I cannot operate if I have not gotten enough school. I have to get a minimum of eight hours at night, and if I do not, my work performance is usually very bad, and I am always irritable and the headache, my head never stops pounding. Just the other day, I got nominated for the most innovative business partner in that region and I got the award. It was a big deal, and my workmates and friends and family threw a party in my honor to congratulate. That day was a Thursday, they had me for the whole night and I only slept for two hours and when my alarm went on, my head felt like someone was pounding on it. My iron box was not working, and I could not go to work with a suit that was not pressed. so borrowed my neighbors iron box, and I had her take call the it support services so that they could solve my phone issues. It seemed like a small thing, but I needed the iron box, I could not keep on borrowing an iron box very early in the morning so that I could have it fixed.

How my touch tmobile has made lectures less torturing and more interesting

posted on 14 January 2011

There are some classes I go to and when the class ends and you ask me what it is I got from it, I will not be able to tell you anything. That is because I was probably dozing during the whole lecture and at other times am usually in a daydreaming mode, you will think that I am in class and in the real sense, my weekend has already started. So when I got my tmobile mytouch, I used to watch my favorite shows and video clips in class, as long as I had my earphones that were perfectly concealed by my hair, then no one would know what I was doing. I got so used to this that I would watch it at my dorm too instead of watching the clips from my computer. So whenever I have my friends over and we plan to watch movies, all we have to do is be able to know how to connect tmobile mytouch to computer. The process is so simple, I just take the usb port that belongs to the phone and then connect one end to the computer and the other to the phone and then look for the clips we want to watch from a folder from the phone, and then after selecting it, I watch it.

Fixing plug and play devices is as easy as ABC

posted on 9 January 2011

Optical mice are more accurate than the conventional mice. they are also less susceptible to malfunction since they have few movable parts, unlike the wheeled mice that may collect dirt in the process of their movements and jam the balls. Most of today's personal computers support the optic technology,and you dont even need to learn how to connect optical mouse to your computer. If your mouse is wired, all you need is plug it into one of the usb ports on your computer, and wait for the computer to install its drivers for plug and play devices. you can chose to install the latest drivers if you have aces to them , but tour mouse is just as fine. Confirm that its installed properly, as some usb ports do not support plug and play devices. Test all the ports until you find the best one. If your mouse is wireless, the installation is also just the same. First, fix the batteries into the mouse, then plug in the receiver into one port. the computer will detect and install the driver software for the mouse.

More problems with receiving my new benefits

posted on 7 December 2010

I have recently put in a claim for benefits but i have found it so much trouble!. I applied about 6 weeks ago now for some basic benefits to help me out as i was entitled and needed some extra help. I foolish assumed that the applications would be processed and i would then just start automatically receiving the payment. This doesn't seem to have happened im not sure why dss benefits don't work properly but no one at the benefits office seems to know what is going on! sometimes they do not even know who i am! one of the last people i spoke to wanted me to go through applying all over again! it was a joke!. When i did very briefly claim benefits a long time ago it was all very simple and worked no problem at all i don't know why it has to be so difficult these days to claim a little bbit of money that i am entitled to anyway! i could understand if i was trying to claim and was not entitled to it.

Being the Best of What We Can Be

posted on 3 November 2010

Vanessa has been an office secretary for nearly three years. She is generally happy and satisfied in her job, although she would complain once in a while, which is quite normal. Her complaints would mostly be about not knowing enough on how to handle communication materials in the office. Somebody actually mentioned to her that she can consult office helpline, but she doesn&rsquot know how to go about it. What Vanessa actually needs is additional training and regular attendance to seminars so that she will be equipped with sufficient knowledge and skills that will be helpful as she continues to do her job in the workplace. With training and experience, Vanessa is surely going to acquire an increased level of self confidence that will do her a lot of good, both personally and professionally. In general, Vanessa is just like any of us. We can only function at our best if and only when we know that we have what it takes to shine and be a cut above the rest. So let us all equip ourselves and shine all together.

Today I am a rich man and the world should know!

posted on 16 October 2010

I did it! I had won the lottery. This is amazing. Everyone wanted to know who I am. They wanted to touch me, be near me. I was the king of the world. Today, employment didn't matter to me anymore because the very purpose for going to work had been fantastically satisfied. I called up unemployment benefits services and told them I no longer needed them to come to my rescue with their £23 a week. I had made £23 per micro second. they weren't happy because that meant less monies going into their pockets. I spent large. I am looking at a condo on the beaches of Miami right now. And the Champaign is flowing freely, wherever I go. I used to sick of the smell, but it has never tasted sweeter than right this very moment. I am rich!! The new car in the garage has just rolled off the assembly line but it is oh so beautiful sitting there in my drive. Tomorrow, I think I'll invest in a nice customised boat.

It is a pity when company's do not care about their staff

posted on 12 October 2010

Joe was a hardworking person. He had spent 10 years in his present job. The company was recently taken over by another firm. They were cutting back on resources. The working conditions had become worse. The working hours had increased and they were not being paid any over time for it either. Most of the employees were at a risk of their health. The company shut down after the government did a review on it. Joe was unemployed now. He thought he would start receiving his unemployment benefits straight away. But when he didn't, he asked his colleagues who were also unemployed like him. They had not received anything either. So Joe thought of speaking to the concerned authorities. He gave them a call and asked them, "Why Is My Unemployment Still Pending"? They told him that his paperwork was under review and it is normal for it to take up to 2 weeks. The 2 weeks are known as waiting period. He waited for 2 weeks and then he began to receive the payment from then onwards.

there has to be a polite way for letting go

posted on 6 October 2010

The recent global financial recession that the world suffered from, forced many firms to lay off a lot of their labor. the world saw the most trusted and loyal employees being fired by the firms in the most ruthless manner ever imaginable. Being fired from a job is considered to be the biggest hurdle in your career path possible. even though firms would pay a severance check and government will be paying the unemployment benefits fired from job will be an incident that would traumatize the victim for quite sometime. some are unable to digest the fact that their services were no needed by their firm and their work was so trivial that the firm had to let go of them. such people remain unemployed and stop trying to find a job. i have heard many stories about such people from my dad which got me thinking that the firms should be sensitive to their employees and even firing them should have a proper procedure which does not make the employee feel completely useless and reduce their motivation to zero.
