March is Question Month

March is question month here.

Feel free to ask anything you might want to know and I will endeavor to answer.

I remember Lolita doing this last year, and it's on again. What the heck, be interesting to see what if anything comes up. :-)

Let me know if you want your question screened, or if you think it's necessary as a general thing.

SlowLeadership.com came across an interesting site defining the 8principles of fun, at eight principles.com. It’s a site that is so in love with a few simple rules to enjoy life more, that they’re selling screensavers and things promoting them.

However, SL did something nice and gave a little run down of the 8 rules, while adding an important one of their own.

• 1. Stop hiding who you really are.

• 2. Start being intensely selfish.

• 3. Stop following the rules.

• 4. Start scaring yourself.

• 5. Stop taking it all so damn seriously.

• 6. Start getting rid of the crap.

• 7. Stop being busy.

• 8. Start something.

• 9. Don’t worry what others will think about you.

"When do people perform best at any task, from sport to nuclear physics?When they’re relaxed, intent on what they’re doing and more of less oblivious of everything else. When they’re having fun. So loosen up and enjoy your life."

Trans discrimination; use your voice

Less than a week after Largo City Manager Steve Stanton announced he was transgendered, the small Florida community's city commission fired him. This is workplace discrimination, plain and simple. I just signed the 'Stand with Stanton' petition, and I hope you will too: http://nsrc.sfsu.edu/Petition.cfm

When the Commission fired Stanton, they ignored his excellent record as an energetic and effective leader. Stanton has received consistently positive performance reviews from the City Council and the Mayor while managing over 1,200 employees and the city's $130 million budget.

The promise of America is that if you are a good employee, you should be rewarded for it regardless of your race, creed, disability, gender or sexual orientation. Stanton's firing was an un-American display of workplace discrimination and this injustice should be reversed. Sign our 'Stand with Stanton' petition that we'll deliver to the City Commission in Largo, FL.
