Petrol Tips


 
1) Only buy or fill up your car or bike in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground  the more dense the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying  in the afternoon or in the evening....your litre is not exactly a  litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the  temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other  petroleum products plays an important role.  A 1-degree rise in  temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations  do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
 
2) To fill up when your tank is HALF FULL.  The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
 
3) Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks , DO NOT fill up . The petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH LONG HOURS

LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH LONG HOURS

I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more. Some people do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only temporary.

 

 

 

Other people I know have put these hours for years. I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are in the office this long. Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in overtime, working long hours over the long term is harmful to the person and to the organization.

 

 

 

There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit.

 

 

 

“Being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way for potential errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue. Correcting these mistakes requires their time as well as the time and energy of others. I have seen people work Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 PM on Monday.

 

 

 

Another problem is that people who are in the office long hours are not pleasant company. They often complain about other people (who aren't working as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry. Other people avoid them. Such behavior poses problems, where work goes much better when people work together instead of avoiding one another.

 

 

 

As Managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office.

 

 

 

First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves. I work with a manager who chides people for working long hours. His words quickly lose their meaning when he sends these chiding groups e-mails with a time-stamp of 2 AM, Sunday.

 

 

 

Second is to encourage people to put some balance in their lives. For instance, here is a guideline I find helpful:

 

1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.

 

2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.

 

3) Go home.

 

4) Read the comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the dirt, play with your kids, etc.

 

5) Eat well and sleep well.

 

This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2.

 

 

Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts. They are hard for some of us because that requires personal change. They are possible since we all have the power to choose to do them. In considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my oldest son. When he was a toddler, if people were visiting the apartment, he would not fall asleep no matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of day it was. He would fight off sleep until the visitors left. It was as if he was afraid that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over tired and would scream through half the night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for his fear of missing out.

 

 

 

Perhaps some people put in such long hours because they don't want to miss anything when they leave the office. The trouble with this is that events will never stop happening. That is life!! Things happen 24 hours a day. Allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical. So, take a nap. Things will happen while you're asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up when you wake. Hence "LOVE YOUR JOB BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH LONG HOURS OF WORK"
