On the way to work this morning I began passing a semi and was already next to his trailer when he decided he liked my lane better. I realized there was no way I was going to pass him and stay on the pavement, so I hit the brakes hard to get behind him. Good thing I was wearing my new HR Hero T-Shirt today! It probably saved my life.x:7

Scroll down to the Forum Speculations thread, about entry 48 you will read this:
"If anyone wants to take Margaret up on her idea of taking your picture in an HR Hero T-shirt, e-mail me at [email]WebEditor@HRhero.com[/email] and I'll send you a shirt. You'll have to get your picture taken wearing the T-shirt (pants too, for anyone who's unclear about the dress code) and post the photo here on Employers Forum."

I did just that, emailed requesting a t-sirt and it arrived at home earlier this week. This came from the thread on Don where he had his picture taken in his back yard on his motorcycle in front of his bottle tree. We started "speculating" what each other looked like then came the offer for the t-shirts. I suggested we have our pictures taken doing something we were noted for on the the forum. I will be sending a couple of pictures in to James this coming Monday to post.
I'm just anxious to put faces with names, especially with those stunning shirts on!
Who knows, after people see my picture they may forget about you. Or, they may say you are the lesser of two evils.
Oh, and Don, if you haven't been out to rendevous with Rita, be careful I'm headed to Phoenix end of next month. I may steal your girl.
We haven't perfected the leap-tall-buildings-in-a-single-bound feature, but the shirts are XL, so a stiff tail wind will push you along.

Rita, how'm I doing? Am I fighting nice enough? x:D
. . . based on that e-mail, I can already tell what you look like. x:D
Actually, I think you misinterpreted what I meant. My wife weighs about 100 lbs less than I do - so compared to me she is "little". You didn't think I was being demeaning, do you?
Mea culpa, Ladies. I was just kidding and expected to get flamed. For the record, I do not refer to my wife as the "little woman" nor treat as one.
So, what will it take to get back into your good graces?
If I were them, I'd hold out for several thousand dollars in small, unmarked bills delivered in a brown paper bag in the dead of night. x;-)
What would really win me over is if you do the laundry at your home every day for the next week, and send us a picture (in your HR t-shirt) folding your wife's clothes. Then we'll pretend this never happened. Of course, we need verification from your lovely bride that you have followed through.
What do you say, Leslie?
Bet you think I couldn't do it. Back in May my wife had major surgery and was in the hospital for 16 days. When she came home, she was still limited in what she could do. So, for about a month I did the dishes, the laundry, and I am still doing the vacuuming - doctor's orders with the vacuuming.
Chocolate sounds good. Do you want delivered personally? I'll be in Leslie's neighborhood in about 4 weeks.
Ray, you owe me big time. x:P
Notice how Don has stayed away from this one? Probably hiding behind his bottle tree.
ritaanz, what about this did we take the wrong way? Are you ray's sister or something, that you're trying to save his butt? Just let us give him a hard time.
(He obviously feels a tinge of guilt, we're scheduling our chocolate delivery as we "speak").
Ray, I'll take mine delivered, there's no way for me to explain to you where New Holstein, Wisconsin is. x:-)
I'm supposed to be interviewing a candidate for Director of Program Manangement in about 40 minutes. This guy is very professional and will be dressed very well, I'm sure. I've been having too much fun to get serious all of a sudden.
But you are heading my way, and I can be easily bribed into niceness with something else. How's the pizza up by you x:D?
