Voluptuous is definitely not a word to describe me, so the topic of sporting cleavage at work hasn't ever been an issue I've had to combat. But I've witnessed several well-endowed entry-level employees trying to figure out what's acceptable and what's not and walking the fine line between fashion forward and sexy. When you're working in a conservative environment some dress codes are strict about toe cleavage, so common sense would imply that your chest cleavage is out of the question.

When you're just starting out in your career dress code slip-ups are more expected and therefore usually easily forgiven, but as you move up the ladder your colleagues won't be so forgiving. While dress codes at the office leave little room for interpretation, there aren't any structured rules that tell you how to dress for evening events like work dinners. The Wall Street Journal recently addressed this issue, so to find out their tips on finding a happy medium just read more

Remember when airlines stopped offering complimentary food on their flights? That's barely something anyone talks about anymore given the various price hikes that have taken place this year. American Airlines and Delta Airlines are responsible for the most recent hikes and announced their decision to raise fuel surcharges by $20 round-trip. That doesn't mean fuel surcharges are $20 in total, it just means they're bumping up the existing surcharges and on some flights that amount is almost equal to ticket fares.

According to the New York Times some airlines are charging more than $100 round trip for domestic flights for fuel fees alone, and at least $300 for overseas flights lasting nine hours or more. Tim Winship, editor of SmarterTravel.com didn't sugar-coat the situation when he said, “If summer travelers are expecting to see the same sorts of air fares they saw last summer, they’re going to be very unpleasantly surprised. With both the net air fares and what people end up paying because of the additional fees, everything is going to be higher in summer 2008 than in summer 2007.”

Transportation Magazine came to terms with the fact that women would be part of the workforce in 1943 when the war caused a shortage of manpower. In order to help companies use women to the best of their advantage and adjust to the integration of women workers, the magazine published "Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees." Their tips are pretty amusing and frank, and while number eleven is a timeless tip, it is obvious that times have certainly changed!

1. Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they're less likely to be flirtatious, they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it, they sitll have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.
2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked out side the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.
3. General experience indicates that "husky" girls — those who are just a little on the heavy side — are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
4. Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination — one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job.
5. Stress at the outset the importance of the time the fact that a minute or two lost her e and there makes serious inroads on schedules. Until this point is gotten across, service is likely slowed up.
