Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Office Socialization

Do the people at your place of work ever get together outside of work for socialization? If yes, great. If not, you are missing out. The time spent over a beer and pizza with group of co-workers and their significant others is time well spent. The next time you pass in the hallway, the nod and the smile are brighter and the workplace is a better place to be. Your co-workers and even bosses become your friends and work is a much better place to go when you get to be with your friends. If you are in the "no" category and want to move to the "yes", then be the leader and set up an evening where people get together. If the first one isn't well attended, be patient and plan another. It will almost always catch on.

TBL: Being social with your co-workers will lead to a better work environment.
