I have been in HR for 24 years. I had been out of work for the past 2 1/2 years, broke my foot on the job.

I always loved reading the posts, In all the categories.

I just wanted to let you'all know that you keep spirits up, yet are so knowledgeable (especially Don D. and Twin) actually there are slew of you.
RAy A., Parabeagle, mjwild, paul in CB,Hunter1, smoll. I could go on.

Thanks for your information. I appreciate it.

Sounds like you've been lurking for a while. Welcome as a poster, you'll find posting is usually painless.

mwild31 · December 2003

Welcome guidedspirit & great screen name! x:-)

Parabeagle · December 2003

Welcome, guidedspirit! Thanks for giving Ray A and me dual credit even though we're the same person - he's the evil one, though. Check your sanity at the door, though. You'll need it when you leave HR-de-har. x;-)

System · December 2003

Welcome, welcome! I feel so "warm and fuzzy" that you included me with the eagles! Even Ray.

HS · December 2003

I was deciding on whether or not to be offended at this post (for sheer lack of not feeling included). Then I realized that I don't know that I want to be associated with the forum Mafia anyway.

Just kidding! x:D

Welcome guidedspirit. With all your years of experience in HR, I am quite sure you'll be able to teach me a thing or two. Hope you're on the mend...but

What I really want to know is, "How did you break your foot on the job?" x;-)

Parabeagle · December 2003

HS, I'm shocked that you don't care to be associated with the forum mafia.

I'm guessing Guidedspirit broke her foot chasing down employees for signatures on benefit enrollments?

Whatever · December 2003

Your wrong. I believe it was broken by the employee who didn't turn in the enrollment forms and then got annoyed because their insurance didn't go into effect.

System · December 2003

Kicking a poor soul with day care problems out the door?

guidedspirit · December 2003

I was going to a classification audit and my shoe tore (I thought the heal broke). So I was out on comp for quite a while, 3 surgeries later, I am back to work. If feels good.

I am suing the the finer shoe company, shoes were only worn 4 times!!

Don D · December 2003

This is the first time since my first honeymoon that I've gotten two compliments, count them two, in one day. I'm overwhelmed. I apologize if mention of a honeymoon offends some of you.

Parabeagle · December 2003

Uh, oh... Don's gonna get all misty eyed and group-hug-like, now since he got some warm fuzzies. 8-|

Leslie · December 2003

Welcome guidedspirit - we can always use that kind of consultation!

So Don, I have to assume the second honeymoon didn't go quite as well as the first x}>

guidedspirit · December 2003

No offense taken. In this business, you need those warm fuzzies. I trust you guys more than the people I work with!!! I have been a ghost member for along time.

;;D

Thanks for making me feel comfortable to join the forum. I've wanted to, but......I left it to my higher power!!!!

mwild31 · December 2003

Don - here's three: You're a good guy xhugs

sonny · December 2003

Three in one day. .this is scary. .the forum is better than 2 honeymoons!!?/:) What is the world coming to?

A safe and happy new year's to you all. I am out of here til Monday..my friends and God kids are coming in from Atlanta. .we are going to eat, watch football, eat, drink, eat. . By the way, Don, if you see this before 5 can you post your Bloody Mary recipe? Thanks. .

marc · December 2003

Hmmm - the forum is better that 2 honeymoons? I must be doing something wrong. x;-)

ray a · December 2003

I wouldn't know, after almost 27 years, I'm still on my first.

Parabeagle · December 2003

What's a honeymoon? x:-/

sonny · December 2003

Speaking of honeymoons Beagle.. isn't about time you head to our neck of the woods . . x;-)

Haven't heard from Don. . ANYONE got a good bloody mary recipe? xpray

Parabeagle · December 2003

Alas, sonny, there is little reason to do so these days, unless there are employee problems at the property. I'm sorry to say. x:-(

Okay, bloody mary: How about a 4 oz. can of V-8 and 4 oz. of Stoly? You'd probably only need one. x;-)

sonny · December 2003

Bummer Beagle, I'm sorry. . xhugs

Yah, that Bloody Mary will work for me!

Maybe when you are ready in 2004, we gals on the Forum can work on fixin ya up! There are plenty of gals out there who are suckers for a good looking, nice guy in a uniform! x:D

Parabeagle · December 2003

Thanks, sonny, for the hug. Suspect it will probably be a loooooong time before I'm ready to do anything remotely resembling dating (at least with someone 2,450 miles from me), but I appreciate the offer. This is definitely going to cut back on my frequent flyer miles, though.

I like to add a bit of horseradish for a real kicker. I go crazy on the garnishes too.
