Article: Apart from apologies and repairing relationships, set yourself up as a model employee to help you rebuild your work reputation. Be a go-getter. Arrive early and ready to impress. People will eventually start to notice.  Getting to work early will make a good impression on your boss and perhaps your coworkers. Often, people aren’t around to see who leaves the office last. But they will notice your presence in the morning. Being early also means you don’t have to rush around. Use the quiet time to your advantage and plan out your day. It doesn’t hurt to take a short walk around the office first thing in the morning. People will see you and take note. Some people have trouble keeping track of what they need to do during a given day or week. Take initiative and prioritize your work. Keep your nose to the grindstone to avoid returning to past mistakes and to present yourself as great employee.  For instance, sit down and write out what you need to do for each day or, longer term, each week and month. If you’ve been coming to work early, use that time to set out daily priorities. Having a to-do list will help you focus your energy. You might also tailor the list to take advantage of your peak work hours. For instance, if you do your best work in the morning, save that time for your top priorities. Try to stick to the list. That said, be flexible in case your boss gives you special instructions. Writing down your tasks isn’t all, of course. You actually need to follow through and do them well. Good work and dependability can make a past mistake fade over time. Build up a track record for reliability and your colleagues and boss will have more trust in you in the future.  Meet your deadlines. What about that report that’s due next week? Prioritize it in your list on Monday. If you still can’t get it done during the week, consider finishing it at home or over the weekend rather than asking for more time. Be productive, especially if you have had consistency problems before. Take a short breather to stretch or use the restroom, but don’t try to skirt work. Handing in finished work on time is good. To be a model employee, though, you will have to aim even higher and win (or win back) your boss’ trust. Track details, anticipate tasks, and work ahead to further develop a good reputation.  If a colleague asks you to think of venues for an upcoming tradeshow, for example, don’t just stop at a list. Take the next steps: call them, ask about availability, and compare prices.  When you take initiative like this, you’ll seem smart and like the logical go-to person for key projects.

Article: This can be a close friend or could be an expert on wasps and bees. The important thing is that the model will respond to wasps and bees in a relaxed way. Be sure to choose a model that you are comfortable with. If you are working with a therapist, they will likely be able to help you find a suitable model or be your model for this treatment. The first step is to watch how your model responds when they are near wasps or bees. Be sure to use your relaxation techniques to remain calm as you observe them. If you become anxious while watching them, discontinue the modeling observation and focus on relaxing until you are able to begin again. This will give you a frame of reference for how you can respond calmly. It will also lay the foundation for you imitating their behavior. Once you feel comfortable and watching someone model the behavior no longer makes you anxious, you should join the model around wasps and bees. With your model by your side, you can imitate how they respond to the wasps and bees. This will help you learn to be calm and relaxed around the wasps and bees on your own.

Article: Hard water stains are both common and unsightly. Fortunately, you can remove them using items you may already have at home. One choice is lemon Kool-aid. Simply sprinkle 1 package of lemon Kool-aid around the toilet bowl, wait 1 hour, and use a toilet brush to scrub away stains. Lemon Kool-aid is available at most grocery stores for as little as $0.25. Pumice stones are excellent at scrubbing away hard water stains. Use a pumice stone you already have at home, or purchase a "pumie" (a pumice stone on a stick designed for this purpose). Soak your pumice stone in water for 10-15 minutes, then use it to scrub away stains. Dryer sheets are another great product for scouring away hard water stains. In fact, used dryer sheets seem to work even better than brand new ones! Wear a pair of rubber gloves, then use an ordinary dryer sheet (used or unused) to scrub away stains.
