  • Ok, I think I'm going crazy here, but how do I log on to the newletter archives. I've been looking all over the site and can't find it. Help!
  • I made the key lime cheese cake this past weekend for a cookout with some old friends from High School. It was a big hit! Thank you for the recipe. th-up
  • Thank you very much. I knew I could count on you!
  • I took a study course at a local employer's association. The course was a couple of hours every week for about 2 1/2 months. I also carried my books with me everywhere I went and studied constantly (even at the parties where my husband was working…
  • Being from the south, and also being from the area where Krispy Kreme began (Winston-Salem, NC) I feel I have to say something. Maybe you do have to live around here to appreciate the wonderful donuts. But, my brother says it best when he says it …
  • I'm 34 - and waiting to find out who everyone is!!!
  • As a mother of a 3 1/2 year old boy, I subscribe to Parents magazine so that I know I'm not alone out there. They have a page in every issue that is my favorite. It is just like this thread - most embarassing moments. It is wonderful. When the m…
  • My 3 1/2 year old son has a bad habit of complaining that "my peepee is big". This started about a year ago and, at first, was just happening at home. We try do downplay it and go on. But, about a month ago, he finally said it in public - in the …
  • I love this. Thank you for a great laugh!
  • These are great! I needed the laugh today. I have one to add: I worked with a girl (yes she was blond) who had the job of customer service. After getting off the phone with a customer, she asked, as serious as can be, "are Spain and Japan the sa…
  • I work in a mirror manufacturing company. We have mirrors that are 8'x8'. When you walk by those enough, you realize that you really do need to lose weight. I started working here 3 years ago and it took me one year before I found out what would …
  • I am 32 and have been in HR for 9 years. Wow! It seems like yesterday when I got started. I still feel like I'm in my 20's. Does that count? ;;) Anyway, I've been through extensive training since I've been in HR (Mostly at the beginning), but I'…
  • Thank you. I love the website!
  • It's easy to fall into the trap of being a curmudgeon, especially when dealing with some employees. But, I have found that on the days when I am determinted to think positive and look at the good side of every issue, the day goes a lot smoother. T…
  • I loved the show and they had a lot of really good singers on there (along with some really awful ones). But, I got really sick of hearing about it by the time the final show aired and I didn't even watch. I am from North Carolina, Clay is too. T…
  • Flies poop every 10 seconds. That means that if a fly lands on your food, there is a pretty good chance that you have some poop on it. Nice to know isn't it?
  • I think I did pretty good, considering I wasn't even around when they were really big, and I've never really listened to their music!

  • I'm not far from my 20's (32). I must not have watched enough TV either. I'm going to have to send this to some friends. This was fun. Thanks!

  • A little different, but along the same lines... I can't stand to get an application turned in that has food on it, drink spilled on it, it's been folded or wadded up, or it smells really strong like smoke or perfume. It drives me crazy. What do t…
  • This is fun! My hollywood name would be Veigh Burton. My exotic name would be Taffy Deerfield.
  • When I first began in HR, I felt like I was swamped with work all the time. Finally, I took a time-management course which was wonderful. As part of implementing the time-management techniques, I kept a log of my time as was mentioned in a prior p…
    in Time Study Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • I have a couple of really recent ones: We had a guy call in to tell us his doctor told him he shouldn't be out in the rain, so he couldn't come in to work. (He works inside.) I knew he didn't have a phone at home, so I asked him where he was call…
  • Thank you everyone. I did call the temp agency and when I asked them not to send him back, they had no problem with that. I spoke to them about their background checks and they checked him out. The reason that they did not find out that he worked…
  • Sorry, but I have another question. After this guy was injured, several employees stepped up and said that they remembered him working here years ago (before I came to work here). They said he kept getting injured the last time he was here and did…
  • Thank you! You said it very well!
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-18-03 AT 07:35AM (CST)[/font][p]I really like your answer Don. I try to spend time on the floor each day. I try to walk all the way around the plant and say hello to everyone I see each day. Then, …
  • >Annualized (to determine trend for year - so you can estimate that >year's turnover based on YTD turnover) ># terms YTD/# months completed YTD X 12 / Total employees For total employees, do you use the average number of employees for …
  • I am interviewing for a new job and the plant manager that I spoke to had a great quote: "No good deed goes unpunished". I have heard this before, but he explained it even better. He said that he feels that you should treat all employees consiste…
  • I try to have a 1-day turnaround also. As all HR people are, I am very busy, but feel that employees come first. If an employee comes to me with a request, I try to handle that a quick as possible. Make the employees feel important and you will h…
