Workplace Misery

Like many of us I spend most of my live in the workforce, and learned pretty early in life that you spend a lot of time there, and it should be a rewarding experience.
If I say rewarding I do not only mean the money site of things, but also the gratification of a job well done, and a sense of pride and achievement after a good days work.
Over the years I noticed that more and more people are getting seriously annoyed with their workplace relationships. Spending more time at work than anywhere else, this is not a good thing as you know. The world percentage of people which are unhappy with their bosses, workplace, workmates and their jobs as well must be incredible.
So if anyone got some workplace stories “Good or Bad “I would like to hear them.

Collection Process on Personal Loans

Personal loans are available for a variety of uses. Most individuals who obtain them have every intention of repaying them as outlined in the terms of the loan. However, we all know that life can have plans for us that differ from what we envision for ourselves. There are also individuals out there who suck the life from any financial resource available, with absolutely no intention of repaying the funds.


There are many courses of action lenders can take in an effort to collect unpaid personal loans. If you find yourself in a situation where you can’t repay your personal loan, it is in your best interest to contact the lender immediately. They are more willing to work with you than to turn you into collections. Being honest about your situation will help them explore all the available options with you. In some cases, you can revise the loan to have lower payments or even skip a few payments without it causing a negative impact on your credit report.


The collection process for each lender is different. It is an area you should familiarize yourself with prior to accepting the terms of the loan. If you obtained a personal loan using the assistance of collateral attached to the personal loan or a co-signer than you in a dire situation that requires your attention to remedy it as quickly as possible.


Most creditors don’t care who repays the loan, as long as the funds get paid. Therefore, they have every intention of holding a co-signer liable for the balance due on the loan when the borrower is in default. The creditor may still desire to pursue legal action against the borrower. This can be done by taking the borrower to court. However, due to the time and cost involved they will likely just choose to pursue the co-signer for the funds. If a co-signer refuses to pay, then the creditor is likely to take both the borrower and co-signer to court or send the account to a collection agency.


Neither option works well for the borrower or co-signer. Court costs are expensive and you may need to pay for legal representation. The court can mandate you pay a set amount of money each month, or face the consequences of the legal system. Collection agencies generally will continually hound both the borrower and co-signer with phone calls and letters. They can also choose to garnish your paycheck, greatly reducing the amount of take home income you have.


Secured personal loans that go into default mean the creditor will be taking the asset you tied into the loan. This can be property, a vehicle, or other type of asset. Keep in mind that just because they have that asset, your loan may not be settled. Often, they will sell the asset for whatever amount they can get, and then apply that amount towards the balance due. The remaining balance will still be your responsibility, thus it could result in court proceedings or collections.


To prevent your personal loan from spiraling out of control, make sure you only borrow the amount of money you absolutely need. This will help keep your monthly payments low. Budget each month for repayment of your personal loan. If you have extra funds, consider paying in advance or placing the money into a savings account for emergencies.


Lenders find court proceedings and collections a costly and time consuming part of doing business. They will also collect on any collateral you put forth to secure the loan. They don’t enjoy it, but will take such action as means of recovering the money they lend. It is very important that you contact your lender immediately if you are not able to make a payment. This will allow them to work with you before the issue gets out of control. If you find a lender can’t help you, consider contacting a consumer counseling agency for further assistance.

Understanding Women on Valentine’s Day

One complaint that many men have is that they just don’t understand what women expect from them on Valentine’s Day. This can make planning for Valentine’s Day a very stressful experience for men.

They are worried that the gift they buy will say the wrong thing or that their gift will be misinterpreted by their girlfriend or wife. As a result they often wind up either doing too much or too little on Valentine’s Day and have trouble finding that happy balance where their gift will be appreciated without their partners reading too much into the gift. The key to finding this perfect gift is to understand women and how they think of Valentine’s Day.

The most important rule for men to remember is that when women say it is okay for you to not do anything for Valentine’s Day, 99.99% of the time they do not mean this. It is true there are some women who really do not expect anything from their boyfriends or husbands on Valentine’s Day but the vast majority will be extremely disappointed if you allow Valentine’s Day to pass without even a card or a small gift.

So unless you are absolutely sure your partner is one of those women who really do not care about Valentine’s Day it is a safe bet to at least get a card and a flower for the special woman in your life. She is likely to be disappointed if you don’t.

Now you might be wondering what type of card you should get for the special woman in your life on Valentine’s Day. There are humorous cards available for purchase on Valentine’s Day but again unless you are absolutely sure this is the type of card your partner will like it is a better idea to go with a romantic card.

You can find these types of cards expressing a number of different sentiments and are likely to find a card which expresses your feelings about the relationship perfectly. Men may not realize this but women typically put a great deal of time and effort into selecting your card and they may be disappointed if you do not do the same when selecting a card for them.

Men should also be aware that women do not want to be reminded of their diets on Valentine’s Day. Your girlfriend or wife may talk about wanting to lose weight and may be trying to exercise and eat right but this does not mean she wants you to buy her sugar free candy and give her workout equipment for Valentine’s Day.

You may think you are doing something great for your girlfriend or wife but trust us on this one, she will think you are calling her fat. If you really want to support your partner in her diet efforts, you can give her a small box of chocolates and a piece of jewelry instead. Conversely, a box of diet cookies and a workout video are not likely to be well received.

Finally, one of the most important things for men to remember is it really is the thought that counts. Women want to feel special on Valentine’s Day. Extravagant gifts may seem like a good idea and may be well received but most women really just want to know that you love them on Valentine’s Day. So whether you give them expensive jewelry or make the effort to cook them dinner they will know how you feel about them.

Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts

Some may argue that Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year. So what better way to celebrate this truly magical day than by giving someone you love a gift that is incredibly romantic? This may sound like a simple concept but many people involved in a romantic relationship often have a great deal of trouble selecting a romantic gift for their partner on Valentine’s Day. If you want to surprise your loved one with a really romantic gift this Valentine’s Day but simply just do not know how to do this we will provide some useful information in this article.

One thing to remember when searching for a romantic gift is that a truly romantic gift does not have to be complicated. A simple candlelight dinner can be one of the most romantic gifts you can give someone on Valentine’s Day. You can either plan on making dinner yourself or ordering dinner in from a favorite restaurant. This is because what you are eating is not nearly as important as the mood you set. Whether you have pizza or filet mignon your dinner can be romantic if you set the table with elegant place settings, light a few candles and play some soft music in the background. All of these small touches will help to the evening truly romantic and you and your partner are bound to have a great Valentine’s Day.

An over the top gift such as a hot air balloon ride can be a very romantic Valentine’s Day gift. This type of gift is not only very original but it is also very romantic. You and your partner will not likely be alone in the hot air balloon because you will need a staff member present to help guide the balloon and help ensure a smooth flight but once you are up in the air you and your partner will be in awe of the breathtaking sights. A hot air balloon ride is something most people will never do in their lifetime but setting up a ride for you and your partner on Valentine’s Day will be a very memorable and romantic gift.

Another great idea for a romantic gift on Valentine’s Day is a gift certificate for massage lessons. You and your partner can make an appointment to take a lesson or two on how to give massages. You will likely learn a few great techniques. Most people think of giving a gift certificate for a massage for Valentine’s Day but don’t consider giving a gift certificate for massage lessons. However, the lessons can be a far more romantic gift because you can attend the lessons together and practice on each other when you get home.

One final romantic gift idea for a great Valentine’s Day gift is a picnic in the park. This is such a simple idea but it can also be very romantic. You can plan on packing a full meal to enjoy on your picnic or you can plan on brining along some wine and cheese instead. However, you should try to select a really beautiful location which is also likely to be fairly desolate at the time of your picnic. This will allow you and your date to focus on each other and not have to worry about being distracted. Restaurants can be extremely crowded on Valentine’s Day and really having a romantic moment with your partner in this situation can be difficulty. However, a quite picnic provides a great opportunity for you and your partner to really connect and enjoy each other’s company

Creating Meaningful Relationships

We all desire to have meaningful and fulfilling relationships, but for many people this is not something that is easily achieved. Why is it so difficult to connect with other people on a deeper level? Once you carry out some self-examination, you'll soon realize that the quality of your relationships has more to do with what's going on inside your own head than with the reality outside of you. Any problems you may be having in your life as they pertain to other people don't necessarily stem from the people with whom you interact.

How you view life and relationships in general determines the type of relationships you experience in your life. It really is simple in the sense that your perception of other people directly affects how you relate to them. If you start thinking about people in a different way, you naturally begin attracting people with whom you are compatible.

If for example, you want to attract people into your life that will be a positive force and help you be the person you're meant to be, you need to be open to receive these people into your life. If you go around on a daily basis with a negative viewpoint, truly believing that everyone around you is selfish, or out to get you, these are precisely the type of people you will allow into your life.

On the other side of the coin, however, viewing the world as a positive place filled with genuine, honest, and kind people is the mindset that will allow you to see the positive people in the world and accept them into your life without rejection. You may not realize it, but most of the time we invite negative people into our lives. If you're looking for trouble you will find it. But if you decide to make a mental change and search out good people, that is exactly what you will find.

This type of attitude applies to all relationships in your life. If you have experienced romantic relationships that are consistently negative and disempowering, reevaluate your own perception of reality and seek out people who will treat you well.

In family relationships, don't allow people to push you around or reinforce negativity. Unfortunately, if you have family members who are very negative you can't choose new family members, however, you can choose to change your own attitude. Try being more positive and it may influence the rest of your friends and family. Especially when it comes to friendships, starting off on a positive footing will ensure you attract people into your life who will motivate you to be a better person.

Changing your overall outlook on life can be a difficult experience, but one that will reward you in ways you never thought possible. It may be difficult and seem impossible at first, but as you slowly change your attitude and perception of life, you'll start to notice great changes that begin to emerge. You'll realize that you have the power to create your own life, and once you embrace this power fully, you'll have the capacity to create the life you've always wanted.
