Success at Work : People Skills : Working With Your Boss
By Stephen Bucaro
Most advice about success at Work focuses on becoming a good leader, but
you can't become a good leader until you first become a good follower. Your
boss is the most important individual to work with to achieve success at Work.
Your boss can provide you with training, assignments, opportunities, and
advancement within the organization.
Many young people entering the work force are surprised to learn that their
boss is not perfect. Your boss is a unique individual that can get in a bad
mood, make a bad decision, or exhibit imperfections just like anyone else. The
key to achieving success at Work is to Work around the idiosyncrasies of Your boss.

Show Desktop Gives Quick Access to Desktop Icons
By Stephen Bucaro
The standard method to access applications and folders in Windows is through
the Start menu. The Start menu is slow because you have to wait for submenus to
open and cascade. To be a proficient Windows user, you need quick access to
frequently used files and applications on your PC. The quickest access can be
achieved through the Quick Launch toolbar on the left-side of the Taskbar.
The Quick Launch toolbar is faster than the Start menu because you need only to
single-click on an icon to launch the application or open the folder. To put an
icon on the Quick Launch toolbar, drag and drop the application's icon over the
Quick Launch toolbar.
The drawback to the Quick Launch toolbar is that it can hold only a limited number
of icons. Heavy Windows users need quick access to dozens of applications, files,
folders, and command scripts. The second quickest access to these objects is to
place them, or shortcuts to them, on the desktop.
The drawback to shortcuts on the desktop is that the desktop is usually covered
by open applications and files. The Show Desktop icon on the Quick Launch
toolbar allows you to minimize all open windows with one click.

Calculators for Your Web Site : Loan Calculator
By Stephen Bucaro
The goal for any Web site owner is to attract visitors and get them to stick
around. This is referred to as making your Web site "sticky". One way to do that is
to provide useful features like online calculators. In this article, I provide you
with Java Script code for a loan calculator.
Most loan calculators on the Web (including my own previous articles) do not provide
an accurate result. The reason is because they calculate the monthly interest by
simply dividing the annual interest rate by 12. If the loan amount is small, or the
loan period is short, the inaccuracy is negligible. But if the calculation is for a
mortgage loan, the error can be significant.
When you make a loan, you don't just pay the interest on the last day of the loan.
You pay the interest during the entire loan period. The interest due at any point in
the loan is added to the principle due. Effectively, you are borrowing the interest,
adding it to the principle, and paying interest on the entire amount. This is called
"compounding".
