The Secrets of Getting Ahead. Time and time again, I’m asked about the most important qualities needed to get ahead in the workplace. Is it technical prowess? Good networking skills? The right timing, or just plain good luck? I don’t think it’s any of these, actually. Instead, I’d argue that dynamic and honed communication skills are the keys to success at work. Sure, we all need to be technically proficient to do our jobs well. But technical skills aren’t enough. They are simply “check the box” skills, meaning you’ve got to have them to get-by. But to make it to the top, to advance through an organization, to get promoted, to be compensated wel...

I never updated the blog with the unfortunate news that the dispensary closed. This was months ago. At first, I was, of course, worried about finding an equally compassionate dispensary in the Sacramento area. I then began visiting various other local Continue reading All About Wellness (Source: Cancer, life, and me) Cancer, life, and me blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4883852 Tue, 31 May 2011 21:10:29 +0100 4883852 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3902947&cid=t_260372_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2010%2F08%2F25%2Fproof-positive-generosity-as-a-business-model%2F Good works are links that form a chain of love. — Mother Teresa My nickname is eleven-fifty-nine. That is the time I show up at the bank on Saturdays. They close at noon. I know the tellers. They laugh each week when I come in. I laugh too. I always promise I will try to get there earlier next week. I never do.   Life just gets in the way. I went to the bank this past Friday. It is my writing day, and I was writing what you are now reading. I got there about 10 a.m. The tellers laughed, checked their imaginary or real watches and wondered out loud what day it was. I told them not to expect this from me again. As I filled out the deposit slip, an unkempt, scraggly man carrying a satchel got in line. I noticed the tellers paying attention to him and his sack. My anti-terrorism parano...

I grinned to myself. It was on my way to work, through a beautiful city park, with the sun rising over the hillside. The morning radio program reported the news that a California judge overturned their state’s ban on gay marriage. I know what you’re thinking: A medical blog is running amuck right into a political hornet’s nest. But isn’t it true that a nation’s kindness is a defining characteristic? America and Americans do much that is good and right. Examples of such goodness are too numerous to list. If you are a victim of a calamity, you can be sure that America will help. Ask Haiti. And it’s not just foreign countries, we help each other. There’s a flood and then there are volunteers. A powe...

Really? …sometimes you get a bunch of rotten, putrid fruit. This is a tough one to write, but here goes. Deep breath in… Step aside, pride…and go: What happens when a family of three (plus a dog) suddenly makes about $300.00 less per month due to my leave of absence? We were doing all right at first. It was tight, but manageable. But then, our single car completely broke down, and we had to scramble to get a replacement vehicle. The purchase of the new car hurt us financially, but it was a necessity. We began leaking money each month. My EDD (Employment Development Dept.) checks were barely enough to cover rent. Some bills lapsed. Then others. My wife, being the super woman she is, decided to enroll in school to become a medical assistant. The goal is to get a h...

You know what I’m talking about. We go out and get folks to put their spare cash and change in our fire boots under a ”Fill the Boot” banner. Fill the boot days can be long. They come in August to be in concert with the Jerry Lewis telethon. It’s a lot of time on the street and under the sun, but I feel like every minute is worth it. Working with the fill the boot project was one of my first experiences in charitable fund raising though I have gone on to do quite a bit more now for various causes. My experiences with the MDA fund raising encouraged me to do more charitable work. If you’ve never had the experience of going out and asking people to give in the n...

It felt like I did, of course. Because I could barely recognize myself. I would stare into a mirror and question the identity of the ugly chick staring back. People couldn’t recognize me … especially from the back, since I had dropped a few pant sizes. But my friend reassured me that I was there all along. In a letter dated around May of 2006, just as I was starting to ascend from the Black Hole, she wrote me this: Once one walks in the door of a good psychiatrist, the scientist, and finds a good therapist as well as cognitive-thinking help, she realizes how alone she has been most of her life.
