The Work Environment: Color Your World…Productive

“It is better to strike a straight blow with a crooked stick than spend my whole life trying to straighten the darn thing out.”

—Ken Blanchard

Now hear this! Never say “yes” without considering the time investment you are committing. Having the courage to say “no” to requests that are inappropriate or unnecessary could be your most effective time management tool!

Take the time to understand the role of every department in your organization. This time invested up front will eliminate your “panic” when someone has an urgent request outside your department.

“Perfection paralysis” is expensive. Sometimes it is not worth the effort to make things “perfect.” Take a look at time costs involved and weigh these against the benefit of perfection. Many times second best in operation is better than first best on the drawing board.

Copy the world every time you send a memo? But, realistically, does “the world” really care? When writing a memo or sending an e-mail, only distribute to the people who really need to know the information. Some of “the world” feels obligated to respond and then everyone’s time is wasted.

Want to get your written point across — fast? Limit your sentences to fifteen words.

Are you really listening! Every time you say, “But I thought you said,” you might as well be saying, “I wasted all this time doing the wrong thing.” Listen, clarify, and make sure you understand the task before going forward. It is a good time investment for both parties.

Is it your job to pick up every ball that someone drops? Avoid this label at all costs! Think about it!

Don’t try to solve other people’s problems. You may be empathetic to their situation, but if you spend your time solving their problems, Surprise! Their next problem will become yours, too! The best thing you can do is help others learn how to solve their own problems.

Okay, listen up! Clear your desk…NOW! Despite what some people believe, a cluttered desk does not indicate genius. Au contraire! It signals confusion and creates stress. Even mini-clutter will grow and eventually fill every inch. Keep your desk clear of everything except your project du jour and your family picture.

Get rid of that paper! Shuffling and reshuffling paper from pile to pile or file to file wastes time and keeps you from focusing on what needs to get done. Find a gigantic wastebasket and fill it up. The larger the wastebasket, the more you will use it. Throwing things away then becomes an art. Enjoy!

Files should not be an obstacle course. Put your most often reviewed files at the front of the cabinet. Here is a test to see if your current filing system works. Within two minutes, can you retrieve any paper you need? Go. If you failed the test you are wasting time searching through your files.

Never clear off your desk by randomly throwing things in a drawer. Gotcha! You will eventually have to go through that drawer. Instead, create a logical system for storing these items in your desk.

A picture or two on your desk is probably not distracting, but limit pictures to a special few. The more pictures on your desk, the more distractions and interruptions you invite.

Organize your desktop! If you are right-handed, make sure the phone is located on the left side of your desk. You want to keep the right side of the desk (and your right hand) free to take notes. Just the opposite for lefties.

Right-handed people should place the calculator on the right side of their desk. Ditto the above for southpaws, the proud but under-represented!

Avoid glass desktops. They glare and are hard to keep clean. You don’t need to spend valuable time wiping off fingerprints.

If a report comes across your desk that you can’t use, notify the sender and ask to be deleted from distribution. The key question to ask is, “Would I pay for this report if I had to?” If not, get rid of it.

If you only use a few lines of a report, ask for a reformat, if possible. Four pages when you need four lines just doesn’t make sense — does it?

“If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.”

Substation inspection guidelines
Mark B. Goff, P.E.
Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga, Tennessee
ABSTRACT
We need to better understand what our infrared camera is really showing us. Without guidelines, we may not understand
how serious a “ΔT” may be. At TVA, we have established “ΔT” limits to guide us in our substation thermographic surveys.
This paper deals with problems in a Power Utility’s substation. It describes a wide variety of equipment with different
temperature limits for designating findings as “intermediate”, “serious”, or “critical” problems.
These designations help us set priorities for maintenance and relate directly to cost, reliability and safety.
Keywords: predictive maintenance, substation limits, small detail
1INTRODUCTION
For many years Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has performed substation inspections. The use of infrared began in the
late 1980s. By 1991, we had four infrared cameras for substation use. The most value was thought to be in finding hot
disconnect switches. In 1991 we had a bushing fail violently. This caused us to dig through old test records. An infrared
report showed an image of a hot bushing connection. We did not have any guidelines at the time telling what was a problem
and what was normal. From that point, the infrared reports got much more attention.

Ari Lasso - Bunga Citra Lestari - Aku Dan Dirimu

tiba saatnya kita saling bicara
tentang perasaan yang kian menyiksa
tentang rindu yang menggebu
tentang cinta yang tak terungkap

sudah terlalu lama kita berdiam
tenggelam dalam gelisah yang tak teredam
memenuhi mimpi-mimpimu malam kita

duhai cintaku, sayangku, lepaskanlah
perasaanmu, rindumu, seluruh cintamu
dan kini hanya ada aku dan dirimu
sesaat di keabadian

jika sang waktu kita hentikan
dan segala mimpi-mimpi jadi kenyataan
meleburkan semua batas
antara kau dan aku, kita

Menghadapi tahun baru..let’s check the holidays….

Tipe X - Kamu Penipu

Kamu, kamu, kamu penipu
Kau tikam tepat di jantungku
Kamu, kamu gak tahu malu
Kau rebut dia jadi milikmu (2x)

Sudah menyingkir kau dari depanku
Aku muak lihat tampangmu
Gak perlu pake2 alasan
Nanti aku smakin gak tahan

Sudah lamakan kita berteman
Tak cukupkah kau mengerti aku
Tak kusangka kau bisa begitu
Menusuk di belakangku

Terang-terangan dong kalo memang jantan
Jangan menggunting dalam lipatan
Gak perlu sok jadi pahlawan
Tapi teman yang jadi korban
