Q: 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.
A: Schedule a meeting. Remain calm. Document the meeting.

Q: If you are experiencing severe, chronic, or persistent neck pain it is a good idea to discuss this with a medical professional. Your doctor can examine you, assess any other symptoms, and take x-rays to help determine what’s going on. If your doctor thinks you should see a specialist--such as a physical therapist, osteopath, or chiropractor--they can refer you to another physician they trust. Your doctor may recommend using ice or heat therapy. While ice therapy is good for recent injuries, it's best to use it short term. Heat can help relieve chronic pain and muscle tension, so you may want to try a microwaveable neck wrap. A professional massage is an excellent way to reduce stress, release tension, and help your neck feel better. Make an appointment with a massage therapist ahead of time. When you show up for your massage, let the therapist know that your neck is bothering you, so they can focus on that area of your body. You might try:  Swedish massage, for general relaxation and release Deep tissue massage, for deep knots and muscle tension Sports massage, to address injuries A physical therapist will examine your body and evaluate your movements to determine what it going on with your neck. They will guide you through a series of exercises to help strengthen your muscles and address underlying issues. You’ll also be asked to perform some movements at home. It is a good idea to get a referral from your physician for a good physical therapist. Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny needles into specific locations in the body.

Make an appointment with a licensed acupuncturist in your area, and give this traditional medical approach a try.
A: Talk to your doctor. Get a massage. Visit a physical therapist. Try acupuncture.

Q: First, remove the glass shades by unscrewing the thumbscrews holding them in place. Then remove the light kit fitter assembly by removing the screws holding it in place. Install them into the holes in the motor and screw them halfway in place. A drill will make this go much faster, but a Phillips head screwdriver will work, too. They will most likely come off together. Set them and their screws aside for later. It's best to keep the screws all together in a bowl so none mysteriously run away from you. Keep it off to the side where it won't get hit by wide-swinging fan blades or small children. Slide the canopy down and disconnect the wiring. At this point you can remove the ceiling fan from the ceiling. Leave the mounting bracket attached to the ceiling. As you take apart each piece, place it down in your work area on top of a surface covered by newspaper, a tarp, or any material you don't mind getting painted. Here's how to finish disassembly:  Start by removing each blade from each blade bracket. Install the screws into each blade bracket halfway in place. Then remove the down rod from the motor housing assembly. Install the screws into the holes in the top of the motor housing assembly. After that, remove the bottom faceplate from the motor housing assembly. Set the bolts and screws aside for later. Finish by removing the pull chains. Set them aside for later, too. With some multi-purpose spray and a damp rag, get to town on making that fan cleaner than it’s probably ever been. You don’t want to paint over dust, dead bugs, and grime. This goes for the blades, the brackets, switch housing cover, download, and anything else that you’re going to paint (even if you’re not painting certain parts, these could probably go for a cleaning anyway). Either let it air dry or wipe it dry thoroughly with a clean rag when you're done. And dry it thoroughly – you don't want to be working with a wet or damp fan.
A: If your ceiling fan has a light kit, start disassembling that first. Remove each blade and blade bracket from the motor housing assembly. Remove the screws holding the canopy in place. From the ground, start disassembling the body of the fan. Clean the fan.

Q: Book a gig within three months of settling on your set list.  Play at small, local places first.  Nothing tightens up your sound like playing live and practicing in your garage forever is not an option if you want to get signed and produced. Create a hub for your band on different social media sites. Make official pages for your band on sites like Facebook, Soundcloud, Twitter, and even Instagram. Keep those sites up to date to keep your fans up to date about upcoming shows and new music releases. New music should always be sent to popular bloggers in effort to make it to featured artist spotlights and give your song more listens. Bloggers will share your work to their following.  Include album artwork, if any, promotional photos, a press release, and your song with your inquiry to blogs. Leave comments on blogs to direct them to a site where you have your music posted for listens.
