1. HUMOR U TIP #198 – But It's Beautiful Outside!

By Ann Fry

Yes, we know it’s gorgeous outside in many areas. We know you long to be out there AND you have to work. How can you handle this? Here are some ideas:

Beg to work from home and sit on your patio.
Beg to work outside of the office at the office and sit outside.
Bring parts of outside into the office—such as a picnic basket or a chaise lounge—so it feels like you’re working outside.
Take walks at lunch—outside.
Eat your lunch outside in a park, sitting on a park bench.
Offer to run all the company errands and do so on foot or on your bicycle.
Bring an awesome picture of a special outdoor scene and post in on the wall or inside of your door. Look at it longingly, but not too much—you have to work!

Hope these ideas help… and then, of course, plan your summer vacation for as soon as you can. Happy early summer!

Truth: People just want to work for GREAT companies and GREAT managers. They want workplace "CULTURES THAT WORK". Can you say... HAPPY AND PROFITABLE?

2. MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY AT WORK OPPORTUNITY

Bring your co-workers anything that will remind them of being outside—flowers, plants, bicycles, ice cream cones, park benches. (You catch my drift.)

3. MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS

New and noteworty releases:

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – Indiana Jones is back in full force and there are lots of laughs and adventures here. It’s a fun reprise of a loveable character.
IronMan – Growing up with action heroes is part of the process of growing up. This is a really exciting, touching and fun approach to the humility of the character.
