Some believe the false notion that work is a curse. They fail to understand that the command to work was not only implicit in those first instructions about tending the garden , but also in those first instructions about tending the garden , but also in God;s command to subdue the whole earth and take dominions over it. ( Gen 1:29)

linklings, coaching edition I've been prompted by a few comments and a few posts I've read at other blogs this week to reconsider...
Viewing our work as being for the lord then , it is not just a nice , spiritual attitude to have. Scripture does not say, “You really may be working for s miserable slave master ( a low life) , in a dreary and demeaning task, but you should be more than grateful.”. ” Take a more positive attitude”
No. You should consider your and our work as being for the Lord because it surely is .
What is the caste system?
The caste system is like a religious social standing system wich means that the population is divided in higher and lower groups. The expression “caste” comes from the portugese word “casto” (=”pure“).
The four main castes (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vashaya and Shudra) are called “Varnas”, the Indian word for “colour”. The Varnas are split up in “Jati“. The Jati are subgroups of the castes, and depend on the profession of the people.
There is no social mobility in the caste system, because people mustn´t marry people of other castes. Hinduism believes in an eternal circle of rebirth which ends in the “Nirvana“, like our heaven or paradise. That means a Hindu has many lives and is reborn after death.
The “Dharma” (Karma) is his “account” of good and bad things he has done in this life. The more bad things he has done in this life the longer it will take to get to the Nirvana. His Dharma decides in which caste he will be born into in the next life. So the caste system is justified.
In retrospect it can be seen that Obama could of been judged ahead of time- if you or the average American had only compared him to any of your previous bosses , management or supervisors that you may have encountered or suffered through in life or in your work career.
First of all the guy spouts slogans – “Agent of Change…..” rah , rah , rah
Sort of sounds like your boss – who knows little – has little experience but is going to tell you what to do – all with a sort of smile and twinkle in his eyes – the look of the kiss of death
Yet when confronted with evidence of wrongdoing – lies , evades and backpedals.
He / she / it advises you on proactive planning , has you complete extensive business plans…… etc.
Big on self evaluation – for the better for you in your case- yet when confronted that he sat through a racist demigod speeches – news to me ….. I never hear this…… etc etc etc
Yet when confronted that his biggest friends and buddies had terrible pasts – bombers etc - he was a fine person and authority figure in the Chicago community.
The list goes on . Americans you have nobody to blame but your own foolishness.
Any of a number of outward manifestations or traits can well provide a better idea , an insight or insights into what your boss / supervisor / manager is really like and what really portends his mind or what perhaps goes on his / her or its little mind.
Never mind the little chatter ( none of which is off the cuff) that comes out of their mouths. What is really going on . What are the real concerns and area of focus ? That is other than getting into power – to be in the real position to effect change towards what they feel is “right ” “proper” or to drive that big new Cadillac perk – never mind that the vehicle of choice has now moved on to new models and types. So much for progressive proactive thinking. Its all still way back there in the “stone age”.
As an example and case in point one manager went on at great lengths regarding a discussion he had with a novice , and still relatively untouched , marketing type. The conversation was about the skills – or better simply put coercive management skills of Atilla the Hun. Atilla was widely successful in conquering and tormenting vast areas of geography. He was known as the evil Rasputin of his day. Still he not only was successful , he was an effective manner of men. Atilla did not do the work himself but by command of the troops. The summary of Atilla’s management style was that troops showed loyalty to Atilla and Atilla rewarded the troops. It all depends which side of the fence or side you are on . Good and evil is only subjective. If you are on Atilla’s side the rape and pillage and rewards would be great. If on the other side of the victims’ then not so good. The message to any listeners was ” I am a bastard ” but if you show loyalty to me and my projects I will reward you greatly. “Get with the program”

What difference does it make ? This one basic principle – that our work serves God – has staggering implications .For one , it means that we do not have time to waste that ninety thousand hours that we spend on the job. They count for eternity.
The fact that we work for god also means that we need never be truly “unemployed”. Though at various times in our lives we may be out of a job that so to speak pays the bills m God presents us with opportunities every day to help take care of his creations – whether it is spending time with the elderly , tutoring children with learning disabilities , or keeping the house clean for other working members of the family. Of course you do need a way to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head. But even while you are out of an economically rewarding job , serving God in other way can still life your spirits and preserve your self respect.
Working for God not only assures us of “employment” but of compensation as well. Few thing take the steam out of us like feeling that our efforts are not appreciated or that we are being exploited or abused on the job. Workers slough off, even sabotage the projects on which they are employed on , when they sense that they are not being treated correctly and well. Welcome to life.

“Meryl Streep’s cold-hearted character in “The Devil Wears Prada” has nothing on real-life bosses gone bad. Consider the boss who gave an employee a written reprimand for “leaving work without permission” — after she passed out in the bathroom and was whisked by ambulance to a nearby hospital.”

The Loud Phone-Talker. “Obviously the first step is to pull them aside quietly and ask them to lower their voice when using the phone,” says Julie Jansen, a career coach, consultant, and trainer. “If this doesn’t stop them, you could dish out the same treatment and stand near their cube on your cell phone and talk loudly. Or you can hold up a sign that says, ‘Please turn volume down.’”
The Hang-Arounder. When confronting the co-worker who chronically lingers to chat when you are trying to make a deadline — a subtle jerk, but a jerk nonetheless — try standing up when they enter your office or cube. “The unspoken message of your body language will clearly tell him or her to keep it brief and head for the door,” says Ken Lloyd, author of “Jerks at Work: How to Deal With People Problems and Problem People.”
The Idea Stealer. There is a strong possibility that this jerk can’t distinguish between a good idea and a bad one. “Somewhere along the way, slip in a really bad idea and let the jerk steal that,” Lloyd says. However, beware that this might only encourage the jerk to become worse.
The Meeting Monopolizer. Get creative. “Try eliminating the chairs and making it a standup meeting,” Lloyd suggests. The monopolizer will likely get thrown off and won’t have time to settle into the usual routine of unproductive dominance.
The Bully. Remember, you’re not in high school anymore. “Hold your ground and refuse to be bullied,” says Steve Piazzale, a career and life coach who runs BayAreaCareerCoach.com. “They’ll usually back off over time.”
The Boss. Sometimes dealing with a jerk should not be your problem, particularly if you have a manager who is a jerk. In this case you might take a look around the company and notice several jerks. “This may be part of the company culture,” Piazzale says. “In which case get out!”
More General Coping Strategies
Passive. Avoidance is the most obvious solution if you don’t want a confrontation with any type of office jerk. “You can go to your boss and ask him to intervene,” says Jansen. Or, if things are really unbearable, you could ask to be relocated to another part of the office.
Active. Avoidance can backfire if the jerk continues the annoying behavior. Try talking to the person. “Difficult people don’t always know they’re being difficult,” Jansen says. “People generally don’t have a very high level of self-awareness, so specific and constructive feedback is important.”
