How to Make Your Boss Adore You and Keep Your Job by Dave Donovan With unemployment still on the rise, making sure your boss needs you is every employee's most important survival skill right now. In Washington, the country's top financial analysts are claiming the recession is just about over. But, look around your neighborhood -- or for more icy cold confirmation, at the Bureau of Labor's unemployment statistics -- and you'll have your worst fears confirmed. The figures show that only 2.4 million full-time permanent jobs were open in July 2009 -- with 14.5 million people officially unemployed. That's a lot of people competing for very few jobs. Despite the Dow's improvement, we're not out of the woods yet. And with the national unemployment average currently at 9.7 percent, you and your neighbors are experiencing the highest rate of unemployment since 1983. In this struggling economy, everyone is on edge -- and that includes managers and supervisors. In fact, according to global HR consulting firm, BPI Group, 82 percent of supervisors are stressed out and 75 percent say an increase in work-related stress has made an impact on interoffice relationships with their employees. With so much uncertainty in the economic forecast -- and so much stress in the workplace -- the most important goal right now is to stay employed, and not take the 6 to 1 odds of finding a new job in this economy. If you haven't figured it out already, the very best way to stay employed is to keep the job you already have. And the really simple way to do that is to make sure your boss wants to keep you around -- that he loves you, adores you -- by making yourself indispensable and actively supporting him or her, according to the career savvy, employment advisers at Smart Money. Here's how they believe you can improve your relationship with your boss -- and manage to keep your job, if your company is forced to make layoffs.

How to Tango Like Tom DeLay by Amy Kniss Dance like you’re indicted! Will this be the new catchphrase on “Dancing with the Stars"? It may be if last night's tango by Tom DeLay, the indicted former Republican House majority leader, turns out to be as popular as his flamboyant, rump-bumping romp through the cha-cha-cha. That flashy, high-heeled debut on DWTS left no question that, at 62, the alleged money launderer can still shake his money maker. In fact, DeLay likes a shakedown so much he’ll even do it in rhinestones! Under orders from Dancing’s darling Cheryl Burke (she’s won twice) DeLay’s learned to relinquish his alpha male persona and find (he said) his feminine sideâ€"a move that might serve him well should he share a cell in prison. DeLay even learned to follow Burke’s leadâ€"though he wasn’t so keen with a woman on top when rehearsals started. At least that’s what Burke told a Politics Daily reporter after a dress rehearsal. Dancing’s 2009 premiere featured a shimmery DeLay shaking his thing to the cha-cha-cha, choreographed by Burke, and set to the 1960s hit “Wild Thing.” DeLay’s ostentatious gyrations during his Dancing debut had judges dropping their jaws. Their assessment of the exiled politician: a man with “natural grace,” … “very light on his feet” and “crazier than Sarah Palin.” All of which DeLay takes as compliments, according to columnist Maureen Dowd of The New York Times. If you want to dance like Tom “The Hammer” (a nickname DeLay earned as House Majority leader for his role as enforcer of the Republican party line) DeLay, then slip on those heels and silk shirt: it’s time to tango.

How to Stop Swapping Germs With Your Pet by Melissa Maroff Smooching with your pooch or kitty always seemed pretty harmlessâ€"'cept for a little drool on the face, right? Well, there's a little more to it according to a recent article in "The New York Times." The drug-resistant germ Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA, which was almost exclusively a concern of humans, usually in hospitals and other health care settings, has in recent years shown an increasing number of infections turning up in pets such as birds, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, rabbits and rodents. "What's happened for the first time that we've noticed is that you're getting flip back and forth," says Scott Shaw, head of the infection control committee at Tuft University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. Although it is unknown how much of a role pets actually play in human infections (physicians and veterinarians don't routinely trace it to the source)â€"scientific observation of multiple or recurring infections does suggest a strong link. Now, don't get the wrong ideaâ€"experts don't recommend constantly testing yourself and your petâ€"or becoming a relentless germaphobe of Howard Hughes magnitude. They simply suggest you take the same common sense approach you would take in a public restroomâ€"gymâ€"or say, hanging out with Amy Winehouse. Dr. Richard Oehler, an infectious disease specialist at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, has reviewed cases of MRSA's jumping between people and animalsâ€"and offers the following tips to protect yourself and your petâ€"from what would normally seem like a harmless act of bonding.
