Recently at work, one of my fellow coworkers, Ally (not her real name) was late for her shift at six o’clock in the morning. She phoned in five minutes before her shift started to talk to my assistant manager, Carrie (Not her real name) saying that she will be running late due to road conditions. I arrived to work at my scheduled time (six o’clock in the morning as well), however Carrie seemed to be displeased when I said hello. Five minutes after my shift began Ally arrived. Because, she called…

Gregor is surprisingly calm at this point and tries to cough in a voice similar to his original as to not make any indications that something is wrong. At the same moment, he hears nothing from the other side of the door. He questioned whether his parents were sitting at the table with the chief clerk or perhaps leaned up against the door. He moved himself to the door with the help of a chair and went to the door to try and open it with his mouth. Realizing he didn’t have any teeth, he began…

There are many things that must be considered when looking into to opening a law office. These things include (but are not limited to): Budgetary constraints; Future growth; Physical location; Amenities; Client needs; Ergonomic considerations and maximum efficiency. In order to have a successful law office there must be a well-designed office plan. A well-designed office plan creates production and gives both the employee/s and client/s a pleasant environment to work in. In turn this creates…

I worked as a coordinator for student professional development in an office called Center for Academic Service Learning and Research at Azusa Pacific University as a graduate assistant last year. I was in charge of assisting and mentoring eight student workers, planning for office events, and participating in end of semester evaluations. Service Learning creates opportunities for students to practice what they have learned in class and put into practice at the local communities where everyone…

About one year ago, I was a victim of discrimination at work. I was discriminated based on my age; I was 18 years old. It was my first day of work. I had left my retail job and was hired at a dental clinic. I was extremely excited to begin my training, yet so nervous to meet my new staff. I wanted to feel welcomed, so I was also a little nervous. I wanted to make a great first impression since I was starting with no experience. As I walked into the office, I received friendly smiles, however,…

I had the opportunity to attend a quarterly meeting at Clabber Girl Corporation. The meeting was split into two different times: one for the overnight crew and one for the day crew. The meeting involved everyone in the company, no matter the department they worked in. The meeting was held during lunch, which was a catered by the Clabber Girl Bake Shop. My first job assignment with Clabber Girl was to update and change a few of the power point slides that were going to be used in the Clabber…

Freddie Roach and Parkinson’s disease Of all the diseases that we have in this world, why did I choose Parkinson’s disease and Freddie Roach? Simply because I have been an avid follower of his since he handled the eight-division world champion, the fighter of the decade, and a Filipino professional boxer, Manny Pacquiao. I was dumbfounded when I found out that Freddie Roach has Parkinson’s disease. I was straightaway an enthusiast of his since knowing that he had Parkinson’s disease, and yet…

Prompt #1 I work with this girl named Nicole; she is pretty, has really nice clothes, and is great at her job. When she first started working at my job, Elizabeth’s Pizza, I thought of her as the stereotypical rich white girl. She seemed kind of rude and like she could not care less about much besides partying, which she briefly spoke with me about after I tried to talk to her about personal aspects of her life to get to know her better. She would talk to me about one of our co-workers, who I…

We finally started our shadowing shifts this week. I had switched with a friend in the internship, so I had to wake up early on a Tuesday to start my first shadowing shift. We were not told who we will be shadowing, and so I had a pleasant surprise when I found out my first hour was with Mariko. I had not worked much with her in my first semester working for CELT. She taught me the basics of what a student technologist does at the Teaching Learning Lab. She showed me various things such as email…
