I had the comment "why does it seem like he works harder than you?" made to me at work today by a visiting regional manager, to which I replied "with all due respect, because it doesn't take me five hours to do a two hour job." Should I be worried about this?

I wouldn't be, unless you are worried that your co-worker is going to spit in your lunch.

It's not like my coworker heard me say it. I found the comment very frustrating. You get more done working smarter, which in my books does in fact equal working "harder." Sorry I'm not sweating bullets and groaning, but batteries are freaking heavy and like hell I'm going to hand-bomb hundreds of them like my coworker. That is what the forklift is for.

Depends on how tiny but google "easy out extractor" or "screw extractors". They can be bought at any hardware store.

Only if he catches you on CP during working hours.

I wouldn't worry if you can back it up. Seems like you can. If it is a problem then it may not be a place you want to work and I think you have been in the business long enough you wouldn't have trouble finding something else.

He may have actually been fishing for dirt on the other guy too. If he is bright that may be what he was doing.

Why does every iphone facebook post (in calgary) list your location as Bowness?

Edit- not every, but a large number

I wouldn't worry at all. That's probably a perfect response IMO. Working hard doesn't = working efficiently. It shows the regional manager you're at least putting some thought into your actions and trying to use your time wisely.

Well, sometimes it does. I've noticed a lot of mobile updates from the Facebook app (Android too not just iOS) have defaulted to Bowness for Calgary. It has something to do with the location part of the App. When you post something from your phone just make sure the little arrow is either off or isn't on Bowness.

Ya, i shouldn't say every, but did a quick scan of my news wall and a good number of mobile posts list people's location as near bowness.

If you live in the West end of the city it's because Bowness is closer to you than downtown.

When I'm at my girlfriend's place in Shawnessy, it shows up as "near Midnapore". When I post from downtown, it shows up as "near Calgary". From home, it's "near Bowness".

I need a decent fine point pen that writes well in the cold... Something I can pick up cheaply and from a major store like Wal-Mart...

Thoughts?

I'd probably hit Staples, much more selection.

MEC probably has writing utensils if you need to write in inclement weather.
