Being on Time
Why I was late for PT on Monday is that I did not wake up when my alarm on my phone went off. This may have been because I got very little sleep last weekend, and I also went through a bad break up, but that is still no excuse. I should have found a way to wake up and been to PT on time Monday. How I plan on fixing myself is that I plan on buying an actual alarm clock and using that. I plan to set it on the other side of the room, so that when it goes off, I actually have to get up to turn it off. There fore resulting in me having already gotten out of bed and not going to fall back asleep. Currently how I have it fixed though I that I have multiple alarms set up on my phone so that in case I do fall back asleep I will be woken up by another alarm. I also have to call Corporal Flores at 0500 to tell him that I am awake, at 0520 I have to call Corporal Jabalde to let him know that I am awake. then again at 0530 I have to call Corporal Flores telling him that I have a ride. I have to call Corporal Flores for a week straight(excluding weekends). Along with that if I do not call him one time, further actions will be taken to ensure that I am awake and ready for PT on time. Another plan that I have on helping fix this problem is to go to bed at a reasonable hour, to ensure that I will have a full nights sleep, and that I will wake up for PT the next morning. I have also realized that by my actions, I have managed to get the ones in charge of me get their ass chewed, those were not my intentions. I did not intend on being late, or missing PT. I know that if I am going to be late I need to have better communication skills, and to let a few of the NCO's know that I will be late. I never plan on being late again, but If I am, I will call someone to let them know. My actions were wrong and they could have been prevented by me. I still have a lot of growing up to do, and a lot of responsibility to...

    Good Afternoon, hope everyone had a blessed day. The candidates for Martinrea will not be at Orientation tomorrow. Mr. Hunter stated that he needed a 1st shift position.

    Billings 911 Center Case Study

    Even though supervisors state they respect that people have outside obligation, an employee’s personal lives are only considered when it does not interfere with the operations of the Billings 911 Center. Staffing levels have to be maintained even if employees are sick or have other events that require time away from work. Several times a week employees are forced to take overtime to cover for absences. It is a standing rule for both male and female dispatchers that if coverage is needed for an absence, the vacated shift will be split between someone from the previous shift and someone from the subsequent shift. Usually junior employees find it difficult to make family plans for fear of getting forced overtime that will interfere with their personal lives. If someone from the subsequent shift does not show up four hours early then the employee covering the other half of the vacated shift will get stuck on a 16-hour shift. Pressure from other employees to show up for your forced overtime is high. Employees quickly learn that work comes first when it comes to covering absences or else face the wrath management or other staff…

    Hrm/531 Week 4 Assignment

    After being deployed for six months with three months left in the tour, emotions in my organization are intensified, while moods tend to be those of boredom or stress. These factors greatly affected a recent issue I had with my supervisor. A company safety training day was mandated in order to decrease safety violations; the problem was that the training had to be attended by everyone at the same time. The company consists of four different elements, all on different schedules. The requirement to conduct the training in the middle of the day interfered with my subordinates’ sleep schedules and mission preparation time. Consequently, from the start of the training, my subordinates and I were frustrated and upset.…

    Preparation And Prior Planning In The United States Marine Corps

    Share with them everything you know from stories to past experiences and mistakes made. What went well, what could have been better. These conversations will create file folders in your Marine’s brain housing groups, and hopefully they will have the confidence and the decisiveness to act and make a decision based off of the similar situation you shared with them. Preparing can be anything from story time to formal classes and practical applications. As long as the time isn’t wasted, and the effort is put forth at all times. You would really hate yourself if something happened to one of your marines that you thought you could have trained better. A lack of preparation and prior planning is a lack of leadership and discipline. When your preach something to your junior marines and expect them to do it and then you turn around and break your own rules your loosing everyone’s respect and trust. Were all human and we make mistakes but when it seems like your creating a pattern it becomes a problem. That’s why im writing this right now because my sergeant thinks im creating a pattern of tardiness. Which truth be told does have some truth to it. This sounds bad but the first time it happened I did it on purpose. I had no idea that we were holding formations now at 0700 because someone before me got in trouble. So I got there right on time. The second time was the morning of my surgery and I had taken off my watch to prevent it being stolen when I was unconscious, that day was just a huge brain fart. I had so much on my mind that I wasn’t paying attention, I thought I had left with enough time to get there a little early but I was wrong. I showed up on time again, which like I said earlier, if your not early your late. The third time I have absolutely no excuse for, it was a complete lack of preparation and discipline. I had a little too much to drink the night before and…

    I have obtained two jobs working alongside physicians and nurses. The first job consists of transporting patients throughout a large hospital system. Every day is filled with numerous activities as the hospital is a level one trauma center located between suburban and urban areas. I chose to work nights to gain more responsibilities and autonomy. My responsibilities include transporting patients throughout the hospital system. I have learned to communicate with a diverse population and explain my role with regards to care. During night shifts, I was tasked with transporting patients out of the emergency department and into the main hospital. Other roles of my job include collecting, cleaning, and distributing equipment such as IV pumps throughout…

    Which Will Culminate This Object And Strenuous Work Environment Case Study

    The juncture was late by three week, on accounts of the test we struggled to pass. The test constitutes of a jig and lengthy sessions of applying and turning off the power to samples, in which our models fail to start running or resetted themselves wrongly and behaved badly in general. The extensive time requirement fomented prolonged overtime work continued even to four o'clock in the night in some occasions, which was stressful to me who weren't bearing the brunt of that. The meeting itself was lengthy and ended behind schedule. I wasn't aware of the fact that I also had to attend, whereupon I was able to save some time doing the daily routine I usually do in off time. I prefer to do such practices and studies while I work whenever my work doesn't seem likely to let me go at a reasonable time. For instance, I arrived at home at eleven thirty, which is the maximum deferral I consider acceptable. I wasn't able to watch the news however, which I will rectify by investing more time…

    Effects of missing an appointment

    The people who work for you are being thrown under the bus when an appointment is missed. In my case, the people at the physical therapy clinic who work tirelessly to provide care for others that are injured, to get them back in fighting shape. By missing the allotted time all of the preparation and care to make me better was essentially thrown down the drain. A substantial amount of time was wasted that could have been used to benefit me or another soldier. I cannot reiterate enough, the selfishness of missing an appointment. All that was needed was a simple call, a common courtesy, for the situation to be resolved. By missing my appointment I basically told the physical therapy clinic that my time is more valuable than yours, which is very disrespectful.…

    It's truly a rewarding part about my character because in all aspects of life I tend to have some sense of direction. Although there were plenty of positive attributes, there is a particular one that I need to focus on and it's one I've always struggled with for as long as I remember: punctuality. To save the life of me I can't be somewhere on time, even something as silly as birthday party. Recently it's been my goal to prepare way in advanced. I'm so busy with everything pertaining to my life, that I don't value time on a punctual bases. In order to tackle this huge dilema, I've set all my clocks ahead five minutes, I wear a watch, and I set an alarm clock for even the days im off. May sound extreme but it's actually…

    The Way I Lie Research Paper

    Therefore, I decided to put it as an excuse so I don’t have to go to work until winter semester is over. I did not only lie to my boss but I had to be sure to remember the exact same lie to tell my co-workers, family members, and friends. Two days later I came home very late and my dad caught me sneaking in. He asked me where was I and if I didn’t have to sleep to wake up early and do my assignments. I had no choice but to lie again and said that I was at the school library getting the material that I needed. The following day as I was pulling in the parking lot to go have dinner with my fiancé, I see my boss parking next to me. He asked how was I doing and what I was up to. Thankfully there is a gym next door to the restaurant, I told him that one of my assignments was to get my heart rate while running, so I went to the gym to do it. That night I did get to have dinner but at least I didn’t get in trouble and that was all that matter to me. I would do it again if I have to, now and then my conscience was bothering me but having the extra time to get my assignments done is a key to get a good grade.…

    Importance of Making Appointments

    The puporse of me writing this essay to let my leadership or any soldier in the united states army that reads this know that I do understand the importance of never missing an appointment. This is my second time with this plan of action. This is my second time missing an appointment. This is not a good look for a PFC with a bad repitation already. Missing a scheduled appointment may seem like a little fuck up, but if you think about it and trace it back far enough it has a negative impact on the lives of many people involved. it effects the army as a whole, the government, tax dollars, every American and possible most of the population of the planet even if they don’t know it or feel an impact from it on some level even if insignificant it effects civilization as a whole. Being that the appointment was made by me for June 218, 2013 at 08450 with the nutritionist. If I would have got all off the information such as building and room number and made that appointment I would not be writing a 2500 word essay. Just like my first offense, if I would have just called into the office and reported that I wouldn’t be able to make my appointment at the SSA I wouldn’t have had to write a 500 word essay. The Army allows us to make appointments for whatever we need. Be it for a medical appointment, house goods, CIF, Smoking Sensation or whatever we need, these resources are available to us. Forgetting is the worse of the excuses possibly given, shows the Solider is lacking in his attention to detail, which has been drilled into the mind since Basic Training. We as Soldiers should be accustomed to insane schedules, late nights and are expected to keep a certain pattern while at the same time juggling a family, school, and personal development. The importance of showing up at my appointment is to make sure that I’m ready for any mission of any nature. For example, while on deployment. If a Convoy has a time of…

    Asd About Late to Work

    At our organization, we expect our employees to be ready to care for patients at the start of their shift. But I have several employees who are far in the disciplinary path because they consistently “clock-in” a minute or two late. Of course, they would have been on time if “the water main hadn’t broken,” or they “hadn’t been stuck behind a school bus.” These employees feel the policy is punitive, unfair, and intolerant; and they have the empathy of the early arrivers. Help!…

    Essay for Being Late.

    The main reason for this essay is because I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the correct place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the correct time. Although there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there is still no excuse for me to miss a formation. I want to be an excellent soldier and I want to excel in the military. The first step I need to put into action is always making sure I am at the appropriate place of duty at the correct time or preferably with time to spare. This is a simple task that is easy and painless to ensure, and it will be accomplished.…
