Virtual Community

Basicallly a virtual community is a community where people communicate through internet, newsletters, telephone, but not really face to face. So what is a type of virtual community? I would say that Facebook is a type of virtual community. It is a place where you can meet likeminded people. Share information. I have found facebook a great way to find old friends and communicate with them. I have also found it a great way to meet new people and form relatioonship with them that would probable never have been possible if not for this type of virtual community.

Disposed

What would plan do I have in place to help me in my career so I am not so devastated if I am disposed of? I believe that there is always a plan “B” I will not place all of my hopes and dreams into one organization. I will continue to plan and think of ways for me to become self-employed. I am aware of the fact that you will not stay with the company you start off with but I also believe that with all the knowledge and skills that I am learning I could very well take care of myself. But until I am able to actually have my own business I believe that I would continue to perfect my skills and educated myself in the field that I am working in. I believe that by doing so I can be prepared if I have to leave a job but I will also have what it takes to secure a new one. By being on top of my game I will make sure I have what a company wants.

Stress Index

When I took the stress index test I scored a 19. From the test that I took they said that I was in danger and needed to purposely plan relaxation time. To be honest as of right now I don't see how I can possibly plan relaxation time. But I will try to do small things that could help take the stress out. Things like exercising more and eating right. My score was around what I expected so I was not really that shocked. In the future I will try to better organize my schedule so I have "me" time.
