  • Linda sure gets a lot of vacation time.
  • Safe to assume this is a non-union environment?
  • I am driving to St. Augustine FL with my family. If all goes well, we will leave on the very first day our new foreign exchange student arrives. This will be a pretty intense introduction for her!
  • In one of his more recent incarnations, Phelps has gathered hundreds of members of his 'flock' to picket the funerals of soldiers who were killed in action. His favorite picket sign reads "God Hates Fags" - his premise is that 9/11 and the ensuring…
  • Nae, just reading Phelps' name sends shivers down my spine. If there is a more vile human being on the planet, I haven't heard of him.
  • I was operating under the premise of "If you have to explain the joke, it isn't funny."
  • And would you shoot a baby pool? That seems even more cruel.
  • At least he's supporting the American girlfriend industry, unlike Sanford.
  • Well, if I was Mr. Ed, at least I could be the whole horse for once.
  • We run the premium through the s125, and include the flex med reimbursement. But for the deductible itself, we have an employer-funded s105 deductible reimbursement plan. It reimburses the employee for dollars 251-1500 of the $1,500 deductible.
  • Yeah, but Mr. Ed isn't technically a cartoon.
  • Also, be very careful about the language you use. You referred to it as an "incentive plan", which is probably the best term to use. Do not use the word commission - in many states, this will come back to bite you.
  • To clarify... Are you talking about a Section 125 flex plan, or are you talking about a menu of benefits that can be selected ala carte? The former is often referred to as a cafeteria plan, but it is somewhat of a misnomer. When I read your ori…
  • Smug, analytical, a love of history, and no pants. I'm Mr. Peabody! Now, who wants to be Sherman?
  • It is funny you said that, Paul. One of the other managers here read Margaret's book "Management Courage" and told me it sounded like I wrote it. I enjoyed having Margaret active on this forum, because she frequently validated some of my less-commo…
  • Generally speaking, your alter ego probably shouldn't have the same name as you. There's a reason why Superman didn't put on a suit and glasses, go to the office and sit at a desk with "Superman the Reporter" printed on the nameplate. Just a helpf…
  • Wouldn't it be easier if you just referred to Brad Forrister and Alan King as "Apprentice Moderators", or "Junior Moderators"? They are the only ones who aren't Super. And isn't it wild that you have TWO Sharon McKnights? What are the odds!? It …
  • Speak for yourself. I do my own taxes. I can't EVER imagine intentionally having a working relationship with an accountant.
  • Unfortunately, libraries frequently have to battle the perception of bean-counters that they are an extraneous, 'feel-good' community service, and should feel fortunate they even exist.
  • All I've gotten from this thread so far is that Paul's office decor is a crime. Is that correct?
  • In my limited experience with salary.com, their figures tend to be grossly inflated. In this case, it could help you make your case initially. However, I would still recommend against using them because it would damage your credibility in the long r…
  • [quote=KSR6450;716774]Mine is a bit large...well XL to be exact. As I am only 5' 2" and barely 100 pounds, I am thinking of putting a belt on it and wearing it as a dress to the Peabody rooftop party tonight! Pretty blue color [/quote] I think t…
  • As the employer, I would have determined that he had literally walked off the job, and therefore was no longer an employee. Take [B]that[/B], OSHA!
  • Aww... For a minute there, I was sure you [B]were[/B] talking about Tony!
  • I want to be the oldest man ever killed by a jealous husband. (I confess, that was originally my Dad's line, but I've adopted it.)
  • Did you ever think you'd see the day when The Huffington Post would become a more credible source than The Washington Post?
  • [quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;716754]Early in his third month there, it came to our attention that he had lied about having a criminal record so ... termination.[/quote] [B]You required a criminal record? Awesome![/B]
  • According to the article, the maximum fine in this case was $7,000? Can that be right?
  • [quote=tkessler;716717]Crummy teamwork, but great TV.[/quote] This happens in Track, when someone is entered into a race to serve as a pacesetting "rabbit". The rabbit is generally a fairly accomplished runner in his own right, and on extremely ra…
  • What Lance Armstrong did before was amazing. But after retiring for a few years, running marathons instead... I don't even know how to describe what he's doing now. In my book, if he flames out tomorrow and finishes dead last he's still the most i…
