Work ethics include not only how one feels about their job, career or vocation, but also how one does his/her job or responsibilities. This involves attitude, behavior, respect, communication, and interaction; how one gets along with others. Work ethics demonstrate many things about whom and how a person is.
Work ethics involve such characteristics as honesty and accountability. Essentially, work ethics break down to what one does or would do in a particular situation. The begging question in a situation involves what is right and acceptable, and above board, versus what is wrong, underhanded, and under the table.
Throughout the last few years, there have been companies whose work ethic -- honesty, integrity and accountability -- have been rather shady and have a rather negative impact on other people. This has involved people looking the other way when people have done something questionable, or thinking it would not matter.
Work ethics, such as honesty (not lying, cheating, and stealing), doing a job well, valuing what one does, having a sense of purpose and feeling/being a part of a greater vision or plan is vital. Philosophically, if one does not have proper work ethics, a person’s conscience may be bothered. People for the most part have good work ethic(s); we should not only want to do, but desire to do the proper thing in a given situation.
Work ethics are intrinsic; they come from within. A question may involve where they came from, if they come from within. Philosophically, this may lead to various perspectives; however, the truth about work ethics, and where they come from are answered from a Christian worldview. Work ethics come from God the creator. God made humans in His image, and His word proclaims these various work ethics -- honesty, integrity, doing a job well, keeping things above board, and accountability factors.
The Christian worldview holds fundamentally to two central work ethics -- humility and the treatment of others. Humility is being humble, no task is too demeaning. Humility involves servitude, which emphasizes placing other peoples need before ones own. Treating others with decency and respect equate to the golden rule. The treatment of others involves loving your neighbor, loving your enemy, doing good to those who dislike you. It involves valuing others, and knowing they have worth.

Somehow, U are where u are and by the people u work with..
A group of fish is called a School of Fish.
A group of geese is called a Gaggle of Geese.
A group of sea gulls is called a Flock of Sea gulls.
A bunch of cows and bulls is called a Herd of Cattle.
But what do you call a group of frogs?
Answer: An ARMY of Frogs
Blue Frog has changed our lives in different ways. Here are just some of the infectious little funny things Blue Frog has done to us… U may not be aware of it but try to have a reality check on yourselves… Add up some other things I may have forgotten or I am not aware of but you are noticing.
Becoming… (Joining the Army; the signs..)
• You identify yourself as a “frog”.
• You call your kid a tadpole.
• Kermit is your idol
• On your Friendster, Multiply or Blog postings you call your office or your home address..whatever “The Pond”.
• Your favorite color is green.
• You get used to the ever famous line…”holler back”.
• You’re infected with this so ‘called’ ”last song syndrome”
(singing songs from NOYZ or Bulla) Or you even have these songs as your ringers.
• Instead of saying BULLA TV ( boo-yah tv) you pronounce it as BOH-YAH TEBE. Just like the gurl on the advertisement.
• You don’t call the manager by her first name Yvette but “MAMU”. Hehe
• If your not fond of taking pictures I bet becoming a “frog” will change you from the cam-shy type of person and taking pictures will be a usual routine for u.
(Ur must have’s now include: “camera in ur bag”……)
Found a couple of Online Email Verification Tools for checking the authenticity of email accounts. Guess this can be used mostly for the Online Chat Support Tool or for CS Inbound (in very rare situations).

One Box Entry
Type your events in the One Box and press Add.
Try a few samples:
* lunch thursday 1pm
* meeting 1/19 2-3pm repeat weekly (bring laptop)
* run sunday 10am repeat weekly
We will turn your statements into events on your calendar.
For example, you have a birthday party this Sunday at noon. You want to remember to bring a gift. You can type:
* Birthday Party Sunday 12pm (bring a gift)
In general, we suggest using a rough format of:
* event date time (notes)
Adding Events
Prioritize an event by adding an asterisk in the One Box. This will add a star icon Star and put it at the top of your event list.
Example:
* big meeting * (be on time)
Adding the word "private" to the One Box will mark an event with a lock icon Lock and the event is not shared with anyone unless you send an invitation for that specific event.
Example:
* doctor's appointment private
Simple repeats of weekly, monthly, and yearly will be recognized.
Example:
* Run sunday 10am (meet at park) repeat weekly
* rent due repeat monthly
Repeats can have an end date too!
* Yoga 4/2 repeat weekly until 6/1
* poker night every thursday through 4/6
To get reminder notifications type the keyword remind and then a space. You will get a drop-down menu.
Example:
* meeting 1pm remind in 15 minutes
Add by email! From a registered email address you can forward any email to: add AT 30boxes.com and we'll use the subject as your One Box entry and then attach the body of the email to that date. Great for things like airline reservations.
Easter Eggs and Hidden Functionality
If you type the word birthday and variants in the One Box, you will be asked if you want that event to repeat yearly.
Using certain tags can let you change the color of your events. In the One Box typing tag blue will make that event text blue. Other acceptable colors are: navy, maroon, purple, green, red, teal, magenta, olive, lime, orange, aqua, yellow.
