  • Employees (managers) with an attitude like that are what give me job security.
  • I also would tell the organization that I do not want a table, just the 1 ticket. (It is possible that the friend was pressured to name some 'potential' donors, and did not have the courage to contact those who were named.) I say buy the 1 ticket th…
  • I heard from a buyer for Dole (Gulfport, MS) that they are regrouping over in Mobile, Alabama for the time being.
  • One of our buyers moved from here 2 years ago to go work at the Dole shipping facility in Gulfport. I have not been able to reach him, but am hoping that he and his family are just holed up somewhere safe. I hear gas here just hit $3 today, and wit…

  • Well said Zen.
  • I feel silly that I did not get that before. Thanks.
  • I hate to admit - I'm baffled. Clue me in.
  • Wow. I've always appreciated what I thought was forthrightness from you. Now I realize that maybe I can't handle the truth; you better stick with holding back. x:D
  • I've noticed this also. Knowing my name is out there makes me a little more cautious in the things that I say.
  • x:D

  • This sounds like the logic of someone who's already stayed home a day with a fifth. Wait until gas is MORE expensive than whiskey before you stay home and drink.

  • Day before yesterday my 16-year-old said she was only going to put a couple of dollars in the tank to get her to work, because gas was $2.45! I told her she better fill up, because it was only going to get worse. Yesterday was $2.59 (2.63 on the KS …

  • That's funny. Make sure you let us know when you receive the decision. I hope we are still laughing.
  • I went to DC a few years ago and experienced your same feelings when driving on the highway by the Pentagon. I had 2 teenage girls with me who were not overly excited about trudging through the heat to historical sights, but as we walked past the R…
  • When my first husband and I divorced, I gladly let him have our one tv and the video games. I did eventually buy another one and I admit I now have one in my bedroom and the kitchen, in addition to the family room. We only have basic cable, which in…

  • I agree - fill out the FMLA forms in case questions about your attendance would ever come up. If possible, have your supervisor or other designated employee, approve the leave. If not, at least you have the paper trail to show you followed the same …
  • I do not consider them appropriate for work, and I agree that 'dress sandals' would have been more appropriate for the white house, but I have actually come to accept flip-flops as an acceptable option for some dress occasions. Here's my reasoning:…
  • Wow. I'm not sure what the police would think is the best way to proceed, but I would be inclined to make a statement to everyone (preferably in person, but by memo if necessary) that we had been receiving harassing emails and apparantly the person …
  • How scary. I try very hard to terminate with dignity, regardless of how little they deserve it, but you just can't be nice to some people! We all know the dangers of our job (that HR can be the target of an ex-employee's anger) but I still hate to h…
  • A fitting dedication. xclap
  • I don't feel like running through the house with scissors, 8-| but there is so much truth here. Playing outside with neighborhood kids will teach you all kinds of wonderful skills for later in life. I'm thankful for many of the technological advance…
  • I agree it is difficult to know when to help, and when to hold people responsible. In general I believe that transportation is the employee's responsibility. If they can't arrange reliable transportation then they better get a job within walking (or…
  • We stayed on Maui. 5 nights in Kaanapali and 5 nights in Kihei. If you're going to Maui and have never been there before, I'd be happy to tell you what we thought.
  • While I would love to stay at home, I will instead be driving to St. Louis to visit my dad. The 6-hour drive is much easier in a 3-day weekend, and since I blew my whole 2 weeks worth of vacation in Hawaii a few weeks ago, I don't have many other op…
  • Sick as he is, I think he wanted to get caught. Whether it was out of arrogance and a desire for publicity, or because he has a hint of a conscience and could not live with himself and what he had done. Obviously there is nothing he can say that wi…
  • CONGRATULATIONS! My first grandbaby just turned 6-months old, and I have to tell you it is THE BEST! (My 17-year old daughter told me on Mother's Day during her senior year in high school that she was pregnant. I would usually say that is not the …
  • I have to admit that I know men like this do exist. I am married to one. My husband gets off work 1 1/2 - 2 hours before me and has dinner (meat and sides) on the table waiting for me several days a week. And frequently cooks on weekends. The other …
  • I agree with ray. I'm not sure everyone is trained in their importance, and I won't hold it against someone who does not send one. However, the notion that they still express interest after learning more about the job could sway me.
  • Not everyone has the opportunity to participate in something they find so rewarding. Glad it went well for you!
