Summarize the following:
Don't fall into a trap of matching laziness with laziness. Instead, always do your work effectively and efficiently, challenging yourself to do your very best. You'll set an example for your coworkers, your boss, and your job consistently well may have long-term payoffs, such as a promotion. You may be tempted to give your boss a taste of their own medicine and be equally lazy. This is rarely productive, as your boss is likely unaware that you are mirroring their behavior, instead seeing you as independently lazy. Your boss may have reasons for their behavior that you're not aware of, or they might have personal issues impacting their work performance. Before you complain to HR, try to understand your boss, what makes them tick, what they care about, and what frustrates them. Just as you have an entire life outside of the workplace, so does your boss. You may not know that they have another full time job, or that they're ill, or that they're taking care of a colicky newborn. Getting to know your boss establishes a rapport and allows you to understand their position a bit better. Get to know the layout of the company and learn the chain of command. While it is not the first or second best option, it is good to know who your boss's boss is, in case you need to escalate the issue. This step is for primarily for your information, because you want to try different approaches first. It is good information to have on hand if all else fails, though. It might be that your boss is not lazy, but does not fully understand your work description, theirs, or your coworkers'. Similarly, work tends to trickle downward, and that's especially true with a lazy boss. Read through all relevant job descriptions and if you find that you're doing more than what you were hired to do, have a conversation with your boss about assigning tasks to the appropriate employee, which may be them. Often on-the-job responsibilities change much faster than job descriptions are updated. There is also sometimes a murky overlap among positions, leaving room for confusion about who is responsible for what.

summary: Focus on yourself. Get to know your boss. Learn the company structure. Read job descriptions.

Try to sound confident when you are talking. To do this, speak in a calm, clear tone of voice. Do not dance around the issue. Speak directly and say what you mean to say. For example, you could say, "Mom, I want you to know that I am bisexual. I'm comfortable with who I am, and I hope you can be, too." Your parents might be surprised to hear that you are bisexual. They might not know much about what that actually means. Be prepared for them to have a lot of questions. Try to answer them as honestly as you can, but don't feel like you have to share anything that you're not comfortable with. For example, you could say, "This isn't a choice, it is the way I am." Be prepared for questions such as: "Are you sure?" "Why would you make this choice?" "Don't you think you'll grow out of this?" Your parents might be really confused about what being bisexual actually means. For instance, they might wonder if that means you like boys 50% and girls 50%, or if you have a scale. It's important to let them know that it's not a black and white issue. Explain that you are attracted to different people for different reasons. It will be helpful for you to answer their questions. It's also a good idea for you to help them understand by giving them additional information. Overall LGBT resources will be useful, but you can also ask your local support center to give you some information that helps to explain bisexuality more specifically. Gather some pamphlets from your local LGBT community center. You can also ask for some informational material from your campus LGBT center if you are a student. Provide them with some good websites to check out. They're more likely to be supportive if they are better informed. You can't predict exactly how your parents will react. Think about possible different responses, and figure out how you will respond. Remember that the initial reaction does not always indicate how they really feel; they may need some time to come to terms with the news and accept it. For example, they might be in shock first but come around to acceptance and support in a short amount of time. Some common reactions are: Shock Anger Sadness Dismissal If you're closer to one of your parents or trust them a little more, it may be a good idea to talk to them first about being bisexual. They may be able to help you or give you advice on how to tell the other parent.

summary: Speak clearly. Answer your parents' questions about bisexuality. Provide resources. Be ready for different responses. Consider coming out to one parent before the other.

Keep food in covered containers and utensils clean. Discard any food that has come in contact with flood water, been at room temperature for more than two hours, or that has an unusual odor, color, or texture. Also discard foods from cans that are swollen, dented, or corroded, even though the product may look safe to eat. Thawed food usually can be eaten if it is still "refrigerator cold." It can be re-frozen if it still contains ice crystals. To be safe, remember, "When in doubt, throw it out." Alternative cooking sources in times of emergency include candle warmers, chafing dishes, fondue pots, or a fireplace. Although canned food can be eaten out of the can without warming, you can heat the contents by removing the label, thoroughly washing and disinfecting the can (use a diluted solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water), and opening the can before heating. If the weather is cold enough, set food outside, perhaps in a hole in the ground or buried in the snow. Or, use dry ice. 25 pounds of dry ice will keep a 10-cubic-foot freezer below freezing for 3-4 days. Use care when handling dry ice, and wear dry, heavy gloves to avoid injury. Do not allow garbage to accumulate inside, both for fire and sanitation reasons. by washing them frequently with soap and water that has been boiled or disinfected.
summary: Understand that sanitation is vital so that germs do not spread via contaminated cookware or food. Cook food using the available implements. Look for alternative storage space for perishable food if you are without power for a long time. Keep garbage in closed containers and dispose outside, burying if necessary. Keep your hands clean Use only pre-prepared canned baby formula for infants and avoid using powdered formulas with treated water.
