• A recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted a city in Florida that is quickly losing the battle with sinkholes. The culprit appears to be overuse of underground water reserves to irrigate the strawberry fields.

• [quote=Celeste Blackburn;719967]Ha! That's me. I was totally a latchkey kid in the 80s (and I resemble that "some dysfunctions and lack of interpersonal skills (IMHO) in Generation X'ers" remark ). [/quote] Yeah, but you kids can really work tha…

• We have very similar paths. I was also a j-school grad, and worked as a news and photo editor before getting into T&D. I still like reading the paper, but not enough to actually subscribe. HuffPo, CNN, ESPN... Those are my 'go-to' websites for…

• Sassy, sassy, Jo. Haiku makes the world go 'round. When will you learn that?

• That's basically how I felt about Twin Peaks. The finale was extremely unsatisfying... but damn, what a great story!

• 43.9%. We have only 40 people on the plan, but in the last year we had: 3 diagnosed with cancer 2 with back surgery 1 with knee surgery and foot surgery 1 with unexplained seizures This refutes the conventional wisdom that the problem lies wit…

• I have a policy for employees - would that help?

• I like the "Boobs Out - Keep Out" sign, but it's only a matter of time before someone gets creative with a sharpie and scissors and changes it to "Keep Boobs Out". I'm okay with that, too, but that's the Man Gene speaking.

• I like performance reviews. Sorry.

• Oops! Sorry, everybody. I was thinking of Queso, not Quasi. Totally different.

  in the man gene or not? Comment by ACU Frank May 2010
• I'm all about the Quasi. Mmm... quasi.

  in the man gene or not? Comment by ACU Frank May 2010
• I read John's blog regularly, but I don't think John excuses bad behavior based on the Man Gene any more than he would excuse an employee who was drunk at work but had a genetic predisposition to alcoholism. My interpretation of what John has been …

• Good analogy, Paul. I did have a member of management here tweet about a "clueless" VP last year. I let him know that the VP had a Twitter account, and while the VP had not tweeted even once, that wasn't a guarantee that he wasn't reading others' …

• Years ago (early-to-mid '80s, I guess) there was a car dealership in Kansas City that actually ran late-night TV commericals touting their ability to finance a car for anyone, regardless of credit. They had a guy who galloped onto the lot at the clo…

• On my last resume (the one that got me this gig) I put my previous job title as CMO - Chief Morale Officer. It caught their attention.

• Oh - and I will also poison one of my new hires.

  in Carrots, eggs and coffee Comment by ACU Frank May 2010
• Good story, Nae. I will use it in my next new hire orientation.

• We use one for our outside sales people, and no one has challenged it yet... but then again, we haven't gone after any ex-employees yet, either. One thing I recently added was a statement that "Employee, not Employer, bears full responsibility to …

• They'd figure it out 10 seconds into the first interview, Paul.

• And consider yourself lucky on this point... Most employees aren't so transparent about having legal counsel. This should motivate you to be very focused on doing everything perfectly.
