It’s going to take some serious work to decorate for your employee appreciation day, set out the food, and organize any activities.  Remember that the point is not to give your employees additional work to do, but it’s important that you get some help setting things up before the event begins.  Ask for volunteers or choose a small team to help you.  Make sure to credit those who helped prepare for the event during the festivities. You may want to offer an incentive for those who help set the party up like allowing them to leave early the day prior. At the onset of the employee appreciation day, you should address the group and let them know why you are throwing such an event: to let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.  You may choose to share stories about individuals that have gone above and beyond the call of duty or discuss recent successes you have experienced as a group.  Leave out any lingering concerns you or the team may have.  Employee appreciation days should be about what’s going well, not what needs to go better. Emphasize how much you personally appreciate your employee’s hard work. After you address the employees and explain why you are having an employee appreciation day, try to steer conversation with individual employees away from work.  Allow them to enjoy their day instead of treating it as an extended staff meeting.  Don’t bring up things you need done to employees unless you expect them to leave the event to do it. Only ask an employee to work during an employee appreciation event if it is absolutely imperative to the success of the business and make sure they are aware that you appreciate their sacrifice.

Summary: Get help setting things up. Address your team. Leave work out of it.


Tell the person with whom you've been having an affair why you are ending it. Remember that this should be the last intimate conversation you have with this person. Say everything you want to say, and allow the other person to speak as well.  Don't allow the conversation to go on for too long. As with any breakup, the longer it's drawn out, the more confusing and upsetting it becomes. Make it clear that you don't plan on communicating further, unless you know each other from work and must communicate in a professional setting. Hopefully the person with whom you're breaking up will take it well, but you should be prepared for him or her to be extremely sad or angry that you're breaking things off. Stay strong, and just walk away if necessary. It's normal to feel sadness, and you may want to reach out for comfort, but you risk reigniting the affair if you ask to have another conversation.  Help yourself out by erasing the person from your email chat list and social media sites. Delete the person's contact information from your phone. If you have to see the person at work, keep things professional at all times. Avoid one-on-one conversations, and don't go to lunch together.

Summary: Have an honest conversation. Be prepared for a range of reactions. Avoid the temptation to hash it out again.


The longer your phone’s in water, the more damage it will sustain. If your phone has been submerged for a long period of time, you may not be able to resuscitate it. If your phone is plugged into a wall charger and submerged in water, turn off power to the outlet before attempting to remove it from the water. Taking your phone out of water while it’s plugged in may result in an electric shock. Turning off the power at a fuse box is the safest way to do this. Leaving it on can cause it to short circuit. If it’s been in water, assume it is waterlogged whether it is still working or not. Don’t turn on your phone to see if it’s working. After removing the phone from the water, quickly gather some paper towels or soft cloths. Lay your phone on top of them while you remove the battery cover and battery. You will need a Philips screwdriver to open most phones. If you have an iPhone, though, you’ll need a special “pentalobe” screwdriver.  Read the manual to your phone if you're not sure how to remove the battery. This is one of the most important steps to saving your phone. Many circuits inside the phone will survive submersion in water if they’re not attached to a power source (battery) when wet. To find out if the phone is truly water damaged, check the water damage indicator. In most cases, the indicator is located in the battery compartment behind the battery, or on the battery itself, depending on the phone model. Normally, it will look like a white square or circle. If this is pink or red, your phone has water damage.  On many iPhone models, the water damage indicator is located on the side of the phone (in the SIM card slot) or at the bottom, near the charging port or headphone jack. After removing the SIM card, pat it down with a dry paper towel or cloth. Set it on a dry cloth or paper towel to dry out until you reconnect your phone to your cell network. If your phone does not have a SIM card, you can skip this step.  Some or all of your valuable contacts (along with other data) are stored on your SIM card. In many cases, this may be more valuable and worthy of saving than the phone itself. Remove any protective covers, ear buds, memory cards, or other things that attach to your phone. Be sure to expose all the phone’s slots and crevices to the open air so they can dry properly.

Summary: Take your phone out of the water as soon as possible unless it’s plugged in. Disconnect the power if your phone is plugged in and in water. Turn your phone off immediately, even if it seems to be working. Remove your phone’s battery and cover and place them on paper towels. Take out the SIM card if your phone has one. Detach any accessories that may be on your phone.
