A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.

She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.

So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”.....http://www.workgist.com/the-cookie-thief/.

Before the main event of a face-to-face interview, it isn’t uncommon for companies to narrow down the pool of candidates by conducting an initial telephone interview.

Having spoken to recruiters who have conducted thousands of telephone interviews, I’ve compiled a list of 10 of my favourite silly answers they have received to the simplest of questions.

Q. What don’t you like about your current job?

A. “Where do I start? The early starts, the people I work with, the commute, my crappy computer, the lack of decent coffee in the kitchen, do you want anymore?”

Q. What is your biggest weakness?

A. “Scotch.”..................http://www.workgist.com/the-10-silliest-answers-ever-given-in-a-telephone-interview/

I’ve been a paramedic for about 10 years and during that time have seen many horrific and sometimes gruesome events, but this is the worst morbid obesity related event that I’ve ever witnessed. Given that this is the case, it may surprise you that I only had cause to actually vomit at work for the very first time recently. This story is not intended to humiliate or ridicule the patient who was suffering with super morbid obesity. Instead, it is designed to encourage people to make changes, as hard as they may be, to ensure that you never let their obesity get to this stage.
So, I received an emergency call for a person with a sore leg. The patient lived in a well-known, low sociological suburb, in which I have attended many times previously......http://www.workgist.com/my-storymost-horrific-obesity-story-i-witnessed-as-a-paramedic/

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Anderson.”http://www.workgist.com/my-storywhat-goes-around-comes-around/

There is nothing better in this life than having kids and being a parent. There is also nothing more challenging then raising kids but also nothing more rewarding. If there are things that I want my children to know when they get older, I would want it to be these 50 things:
1. Know how to cook and clean. It pays to be self sufficient.
2. Know how to manage your money. You will thank yourself later for this.
3. Be prepared to work hard to get what you want. Nobody owes you anything.
4. Follow your dreams, no matter what anybody else has to say. Its your life, not theirs.
5. Your family is the most valuable thing you will ever have. Do not sacrifice them for anything.....http://www.workgist.com/50-things-i-want-my-kids-to-know/

Making a list of New Year’s resolutions is easy, but keeping them is hard.
It’s February already, days are beginning to count, without waiting for anyone.
Every year, along with thousands of others, you promise to make changes in your life – at work and at home. But keeping those resolutions can be tough? (When did you last go to the gym? Are you still smiling at work all day?).http://www.workgist.com/dont-give-up-on-your-new-years-resolutions/

Most women (and men for that matter) understand intuitively whether their bodies tend to store fat around their waists (forming an apple shape) or lower down around their hips, thighs and buttocks (forming a pear shape in women). But few of us understand the dramatic impact body shape has on our current health and risk of future disease.
A number of recent studies have shown that it is your waist size and body shape rather than how much you weigh or tip the scale that best predicts your risk for a number of chronic diseases.
Experts concluded that waist size may be much more important in determining heart risk than body weight. A normal weight individual can have a greater waist size — and therefore a greater health risk — than an overweight but smaller-waisted friend....http://www.workgist.com/body-type-are-you-an-apple-or-a-pear/
