Christy's replacement

System

I guess I should make some sort of announcement that I've officially taken over Christy Reeder's job as website managing editor. She did a fantastic job building up HRhero.com, especially the Employers Forum, and I hope she can continue doing some work for us. I don't know if I can fill Christy's sensible shoes, but I can fill my off-brand sneakers pretty well.

My job description says I'll oversee the content on HRhero.com and continue as editor of [link:www.hrhero.com/enewsletter.cgi|HR Hero Line,] our free e-mail newsletter. I'll hang around Employers Forum, but I might not be as active as Christy was. (Heck, I'll need all that time to figure out all the whatchamacallits on her computer!) I've updated my profile in case anyone's interested.

While I may be the frontman for the website, I'm no technical wizard. Luckily, most of the hard work is done by the technical folks: Jim Robb, who has 10 computers running in his office ('nuff said!), Brian Holaway, our website designer, Jennifer Duvall, who has put thousands of newsletter articles in the subscribers' area, and our boss, Brad Forrister, the man behind the curtain who pulls all the right levers to make everything work.

Well, I'm heading off to do whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing. I'd welcome any comments or suggestions you have about HRhero.com or HR Hero Line.

CONGRATULATIONS!! xclap

We, of course, still expect to hear from Christy.

Congrats James - or do you prefer something less formal? I know you'll carry on the tradition of maintaining the best HR on-line forum. :DD

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, my friends call me James ... not sure about my enemies.

While I don't like the subject title, (we will miss Christy!) congratulations to you on your new position. She has big shoes to fill (not literally, not that I'd know), but I for one know you will do well.

Welcome to this world that we HR folks come to for a brief respite from our otherwise hectic lives. May you grow to love it as much as we do...and you probably will...it's quite addictive!

James is definitely the man for the job! Best wishes, James.

BTW, don't delete the "DonD" icon on my desktop - you'll need it! But don't click it unless you're sure the boss isn't around. It starts a program that downloads colored bottles and spits them out the back of your hard drive filled with pleasant drinks. (Please clean and forward any used bottles to our friend in MS.)
