Attention!!Are your coworkers driving you crazy? You are not alone! A recent study showed that almost 40% of workers feel out of place in the office.  We have assembled a list of the most annoying coworker types. Anyone sounds familiar?

Note:  This advice is purely for entertainment purposes and is not intended to solve serious problems!

10. The Obnoxious One

An obnoxious coworker repeatedly bangs on the table for no apparent reason, cracks knuckles and whistles eight hours a day. All this is between thunderous phone conversations.  These coworkers have no secrets.  They prefer discussing them with a door open and over a speakerphone with the whole office listening. By now you’ve learnt about their bonuses, medical problems, and heard plenty of baby talk with the spouse.

How to deal with them:  Hum show tunes every time they get on the phone while hanging around their office and waiting for them to finish the phone call.  Better yet, give them a portable phone booth.

soliderToday’s U.S. Military has thousands of jobs for every possible profession and field.  Military jobs are reliable and are becoming lucrative for many young men and women who have troubles finding civilian jobs in this economy.

Perhaps, the biggest common misconception of a military career is that you have to be a combat soldier fighting out in the field. The truth is that military is offering a much wider scope of careers than many people realize, many are out of harm’s way. Nevertheless, without doubt a military career isn’t for everyone; you have to be audacious and venturesome; it also requires self-discipline, intense physical work and time away from your family and friends.

The military distinguishes between enlisted and officer careers. Enlisted personnel make up about 82 percent of the U.S. Armed Forces. They carry out the fundamental operations of the U.S. Military: combat, administration, construction, engineering, healthcare, human services, and other areas. Officers, who make up the remaining 18 percent of the Armed Forces, are the leaders, supervising and managing activities in every occupational specialty.

Money-SavingsWith family budgets especially tight this winter, homeowners are looking for new ways to save money on their utilities bills.  We have put together a list of the most efficient ways to do just that.  Follow these simple steps to lower your monthly bills by as much as 20%.   That may turn into hundreds or even thousands of dollars in savings:

1. Furnace & Heating

The rule of thumb is that you can save about 3% on your heating bill for every degree you set back on your thermostat. Consider lowering the temperature and using small space heaters for some rooms, if necessary, as opposed to heating the entire house (but do keep in mind that space heaters consume a lot of energy).  Programming your thermostat to reduce energy when none is at home or everyone’s asleep, is the single best thing you can do.  If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, it the best investment you can make to save money on your energy bills.

Also, have your furnace cleaned once a year. Replace filters at least once every three months (or more often if you have pets).  Clogged filters will cause your furnace work harder to heat the same amount of space.  Keep all air vents and radiators unrestricted by furniture and rugs. Make sure that the air flows more easily. If you have unused rooms – close them off and shut the vents inside.  Projected savings: $40 - $100 / month
