In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have tried a few times to address your boss’s bullying behavior immediately after it occurred and nothing changed, it may be more productive to schedule a meeting for a less emotional time.  Choose a private setting for your conversation.   A neutral location, like a conference room, or an off-site location, such as a coffee shop, is better for the meeting than your boss’s office. Invite a representative from your HR department to sit in on the meeting. It may seem intimidating to confront your bullying boss, but it is a vital step in developing a better workplace relationship and standing up for yourself. If you maintain a sense of control over your emotions and speak objectively, you will be more persuasive and can help keep the conversation from becoming overheated.  Don’t be accusatory. State the issues in your own words and offer ways you both can work together.  Stick to the facts and be professional. You can say something like, “I don’t appreciate you calling me names, and I hope we can have more productive, professional interactions in the future.” Cite specific examples: “It is not appropriate for you to yell at me in front of the entire marketing team.” If you stand up for yourself, the bully may back down. After you speak with your boss about the bullying issues, make sure you record what happened at the meeting and what was agreed upon.  Follow up this meeting with your boss with an e-mail confirming what transpired.  Forward a copy to the HR department, and keep a copy for yourself.
Summary: Schedule a meeting. Remain calm. Document the meeting.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: At that temperature, you’ll stay comfortable indoors while saving money. When you go away from your house or go to sleep, turn your thermostat down by 5 °F (−15 °C) to preserve energy. Stretch a plastic window covering over the all of your windows on the inside. Apply double-sided tape around the edge of your window to attach the plastic insulation. Make sure the plastic is tight and doesn’t have wrinkles. Use a hair dryer on a low-heat setting to seal the plastic.  Plastic window covers can be purchased at any home care store. Once the windows are sealed, they cannot be opened unless you remove the film. Use small rugs for tight spaces or area rugs to cover a large floor space. Bare floors can feel a lot colder than room temperature and will make your body cold if you walk around barefoot. If you can’t put rugs down on your floor, wear slippers or socks around the house. Turn off your ceiling fan and look at the bottom motor housing. Many fans have a switch on the side that allows you to reverse which way the fan spins. Flip the switch and turn your fan back on. If the blades spin clockwise, it’s pushing the air down. Warm air rises, so reversing your fan will push the air back down to the floor. Purchase a small space heater and turn it on in the room you want to warm up. Close off the room as much as possible so the heat doesn’t escape. Let the heater run for 30-60 minutes before turning it off. Once the room starts to cool down again, turn your heater back on. Don’t leave space heaters on for an extended period of time or unattended since they could be a fire hazard. Some heaters have automatic timers to prevent them from being on for too long. Either ignite a wood fire or turn on your gas fireplace. The heat from the fire will heat the whole room the longer it burns. Once your room feels comfortable, you can put the fire out.  If you don't have a fireplace, find a portable electric fireplace at a home goods store. They help keep you warm and run only on electricity. Keep your chimney’s flue closed when you’re not burning a fire. Heat can escape from your room up through your chimney. Never let a fire burn unattended.
Summary: Set your home’s thermostat above 68 °F (20 °C). Insulate your windows with a plastic film to prevent cold air from coming in. Put rugs over tiles or hardwood to keep your feet warm. Reverse your ceiling fan’s motor to push warm air down. Use a space heater for extra heat in one room. Light a fire in your fireplace if you have one.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bring a notebook and writing supplies to journal or doodle. You could also bring an adult coloring book and some colored pencils to exercise your creativity, or some postcards to write to family and friends. Games will help keep your brain engaged and give you a fun way to pass the time. Bring some video games and a console, download game apps on your phone or tablet, or pack some classic travel-sized games. You could also bring a simple deck of cards and play a game like Solitaire by yourself, or ask the person beside you if they’d like to play a card game. Some buses provide WiFi, so if you need an internet connection, check ahead of time to see if your bus has that option. If it is not provided, you can purchase a wireless broadband router or a hotspot unit. If your phone has this option, you could also enable a hotspot using your phone. Hotspot units access a cellular network and are generally small enough to fit in a pocket. A long bus ride is the perfect time to get ahead on work. If you need internet for your work, use the bus’s WiFi or bring your own. You could also prepare some work to do offline beforehand, such as drafts or memos. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in some reading material to make the trip go by faster. Bring a book, magazine, or a Kindle pre-loaded with some reading material. Try reading something funny or suspenseful that will keep you fully absorbed. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video now offer offline downloads, so you can download TV shows and movies for a limited time and watch them anywhere with internet connection. You can also use the bus’s WiFi, if available, or your own hotspot to watch online. Bring some headphones and an electronic device such as your phone, laptop, or tablet with some listening material. This is a great option if you get carsick from reading on the bus. Using your devices to keep you occupied on the trip will use up quite a bit of battery life, so be sure bring chargers for any electronic devices you bring, such as your laptop, phone, tablet, Kindle, or gaming devices.
Summary:
Write or draw to pass the time. Play video games, game apps, or travel games. Use the bus’s WiFi or bring your own if needed. Get some work done. Bring something to read. Catch up on your favorite TV shows or movies. Listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks. Bring chargers for all of your electronic devices.
