It might seem like flint is difficult to find, but you generally just need to know where to look. In some areas, like the Ozarks of Missouri, you can find chert lying all over the ground. That is because flint and chert are hard, durable rocks that are so resistant to weathering they remain intact long after the surrounding rocks have weathered away into the soil.  You can search along the freshwater shores or riverbeds. Flint is very durable and resistant to chemicals, so it often collects in the remaining soils as surrounding carbonate rocks erode. While rocks like limestone erode and fine soil is carried downstream, small pebble deposits of flint and chert collect along the shores. Try other locations where there is a large variety of rocks present, such as a construction site or along a gravel road. Many times rocks are harvested from riverbeds for construction from all over so you might be surprised to find chert or flint pebbles just down the block. If you live near an area that was once populated by tribes of Native Americans, you might have a good chance of locating flint fragments around that area. Flint was an ideal choice for creating tools and weapons. Flint can be made to form a blade that is actually sharper than steel, with a tip that is just the width of a few molecules. If you find an arrowhead or sharp rock near a old tribal ground, you found some flint. Flint often forms as nodules inside pieces of chalk or limestone. So in addition to looking for pieces of flint, look for larger rocks that may contain several pieces of flint. Bust them open and see what you find.  Look for discolorations on a piece of limestone. Usually flint or chert nodules will be a slightly darker shade than the surrounding limestone. You can break these pieces out with the use of some tools and collect the flint. Grab an iron hammer and bust open some smaller rocks. If you notice some sparks when the hammer contacts the rock, there is likely some flint or quartz inside.

summary: Choose an area nearby to search. Learn the history of your area. Look for flint nodules in larger rocks.

Only provide feedback if you are truly trying to help your coworker and improve your work product. If you are criticizing because you do not like the person, are frustrated, or are stressed, keep your criticisms to yourself.  If you are not criticizing someone for the right reasons, try talking to a friend or family member so you can vent. Feedback should only be given for a specific purpose not just for the sake of doing it. Once you identify a specific issue, think about the changes that need to be made and what can be done to achieve them. You are much more likely to see changes if you have a proposed outcome. The criticism you give should be a learning experience for your coworker. If the issue was a late report, you may think of ways to increase efficiency such as setting small milestones and breaking down the project into multiple reports. This is much more helpful than saying your report was late, you need to work faster. You don't want to confront a work colleague in front of others, so pick somewhere private. Additionally, you don't want to criticize him if he is having a bad day already. He may be in defensive mode, in which case he will not be open to any form of suggestion, especially a criticism. If the person is about to finish a project or is preparing for a presentation, wait until they are finished before you criticize their work. Your feedback is not helpful at this time and will not change the outcome of the work.
summary: Examine your motivation. Decide what outcome you would like to see. Choose the right time and the right place when approaching a colleague with criticisms.
