HRQ I wonder how wide we can make a post Shall I try Being independent and not wanting to do what I'm told I will go on and on and on ad infinitum until you get so tired you won't want to scroll any further but then the next time someone types a long sentence they will have the same problem it will appear as one huge long sentence Of course I'm doing this only in rebellion to your request and to irritate Paul for messing up the format of his thread making think twice before he tries the same trick again In fact I wonder if there is a record for the widest post maybe this will be it but I doubt there are any records kept I've always wanted to write in a stream of consciousness vein.
I am stunned that I was able to maintain my attention span while reading that.
Made my eyes start to bug out though.
You might recall it was MY goal to keep replying so that eventually the message window shriveled down to toothpick-width, then we'd see a little "poof" icon where the next reply should have gone.
Still no poof. If I still had an attention span, I could try to craft a poof out of all the little symbols above the numbers, but I don't wanna. Maybe somebody else can.
Nice Job on the thread so far. Here is a funny email in response to my attempt to help with interview questions:
"For example, you may not ask such questions as:
Have you been treated for any specific diseases? a lady gave me some crabs does that count
Have you been hospitalized and why? only after a sever beating by the policeman I was running from.
Have you ever been treated by a psychiatrist or psychologist or for any mental conditions? Only to talk about the voices that tell me to do things , like respond to this e mail
How many days were you absent from work because of illness? If hangovers don't count ,never
What prescription drugs do you take? Any I can get my hands on!!! Do you have any good ones??
Have you filed for workers' compensation or had any work-related injuries? Yes, I fell in the bathroom entertaining my self . I lost control and fell off of the toilet. I was only out for a month.
Do you have any physical or mental conditions or impairments that affect your ability to perform certain tasks or the particular job in question? Only when I'm in the bathroom amusing my self."

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-08-06 AT 00:38AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I wonder whether most people in HR tend to be conservatives or liberals.
You would think liberal as HR tends to attract "people" people who are feelers and most liberal politics is based on emotion.

I always assumed that I was in the minority as a conservative in the HR field for the reason you give.
But, at least in the past, it appeared that conservatives were in the majority on this forum.
"If I had a million dollars".... I'd be the reality of those Corona commercials far far away from a computer or a phone and unable to converse with you fine folks!
If I had a million dollars... I'd buy you some art Like a Picasso or a Garfunkle x:D From the song "If I Had a Million Dollars" by the Barenaked Ladies
Oh duh! I answered previously with what I thought you'd do, HRQ. Yes, it's been a LONG week!
If I had a million dollars... I'd travel all over Ireland, Scotland and Wales. If it's a lovely as I'm told, I may purchase a small stone cottage and spend a few years researching my ancestry.
Sorry you've had a bad day. It's now officially the weekend...woo-hoo!
I'm happy to have been busy with back-to-back interviews for a new receptionist. The present one has worked for us for 23 years in various capacities and has success- fully chased off every other supervisor before me. I'm either dumb or more resilient than the others. I prefer to think the latter. :-)
Anyway, the week is over and we have survived. Happy weekend everyone!
It was a very good weekend. We held the graduation program for our youth club members and then took them to the Hampton beach to celebrate. We were some excited to see the sun shining when we woke up on Sunday morning. Still not warm enough for me to get the bathingsuit out but 3 of the teens actually went into the freezing cold ocean water.

Does that mean this forum leans to the left?
You would think liberal as HR tends to attract "people" people who are feelers and most liberal politics is based on emotion.

At least more vocal about it.
thread is that it is
either too far to the
left or the right!

so I can use the wall in
front of my desk for a
computer monitor. No more
scrolling for miles to see
this whole thread!
with what I thought you'd do, HRQ.
Yes, it's been a LONG week!
If I had a million dollars...
I'd travel all over Ireland,
Scotland and Wales.
If it's a lovely as I'm told,

schedule that
cruise.
After I spend
part of my
mil' hiring an
assistant to free
me up so I can
come to work
for entertainment
purposes only.
work for entertainment
AND a paycheck? I know
there are no other reasons
and the entertainment factor
is a HUGE draw!!!!
paycheck, I'd just use
my own $$ from my mil
to hire someone (under
the table of course) to
do my work.
I'd tell them there's
a free subscription to
HRHero in it for them.
That ought to do the
trick.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.
I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
My reality check bounced.
On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
Hope your day got better.
now officially the weekend...woo-hoo!

I just had a fun day over on a different HR forum. Lovely people. I was warmly welcomed.
Yes, have a great weekend!
