What State Am I In?

Uncas · February 2005

I'm located in California, but when I post, my location comes up as Wisconsin. Wisconsin is colder, but probably a better environment for HR. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in CA. How can I correct this?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-18-05 AT 05:11PM (CST)[/font][br][br]This question comes up every few months. After a thread reaches 10 or so posts, further replies will show you temporarily being from the state of the previous poster when you first hit the "Post Message" button. But, if you go back you will notice your correct state will show.

edit: I just realized your orginal post shows WI. My first mistake this year.

Hey, it happened again Uncas...you sure you're not in WI? They say it has some of the best rural counties...just ask Hunter1 and Ruby Tuesday :-)

In Forumland, we like to think of these little sidetrips as mini-cybervacations. x:-)

Uncas (if that's really your name):

You obviously live in Madison, Wisconsin because the infallible Forum software system says so. /:) I'm sure Madison is a nice place, so you just need to accept it.

However, if you insist upon being listed in California, you just need to change your Forum account information. Instructions are here:

If this form doesn't allow you to make all the changes you need, just e-mail the information to me.

P.S. to Don: I've been out sick with a bug that has all the symptoms of the flu, but my doctor assures me it's not the flu. I think that's supposed to make me feel better but it doesn't. :-S

James,

Thanks for the help. I have modified my profile, and hopefully I've been trasnsferred back to CA. I guess we're not in Wisconsin anymore, Toto.

Thanks for the soothing words, Don. Actually, I am from somewhere else. I like living in California, I'm just conflicted, because I don't particularly like working in California.

Having lived in California (L.A. area)during my "formative years", I can empathize. I love visiting there now, but wouldn't live or work there again.

Came up North 22 years ago for a vacation.
"Shock and awe" come to mind. This state boggles the mind. I fell in love with it here and never went back. Have never regretted the decision.

Even though the mosquitos are as big as Chevys and never leave with less than a pint?

HRinNH · March 2005

I didn't think Alaska had mosquitos. I've always wanted to go there but have been waiting to win the megabucks. Alas, not yet.

PolarKat · March 2005

Purely a myth about the mosquitos being as big as Chevys, although they have been know to carry off a small child or dog.

I really have enjoyed learning to fish the "Alaskan" way - with a gun. The halibut are so big that you have to shoot them before you can pull them into your boat or they would capsize you flapping around.

Ahhhh...life in the North, where a legitimate excuse for being late to work is "There's a moose in my driveway and I can't get to my car."
