  • I'm older than you and just a tiny bit older than Johnny and I still have a crush x0:)
  • I'm also a Johnny Depp fan so Pirates will definitely be on my list. The good thing is, my husband is a Depp fan too so I won't have to beg him to come with me. Anyone see his interview on the Actor's Studio?
  • I'm also an early bird, I get to pick the best parking spot in the lot. My boss will often call me early in the morning from his cell phone. At first, he was quite surprised to actually get the real "live" me so early, but now he's used to it, and…

  • After receiving the Rhode Island Employemnt Law letter..............don't remember exactly when, but I'm hooked.
  • I travel 23 miles one way - about 35 minutes or so from home. Mostly, I'm on the highway, but in order to get to work, I do have to go down this lovely country road........... very nice, especially in the Fall.
  • With the war going on and all - I thought I'd pull out a CD with American Anthems this morning. Of course, you can't help but hum along and feel proud to be an American. Boy, was I surprised when Anchors Aweigh started playing..... I checked the s…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-21-03 AT 09:17AM (CST)[/font][p]My son who is also 22 sent me a dozen of beautiful peach roses - and he's been doing that since he was about 17. I'm a very lucky mom! Both "kids" are starting to st…
  • Just filled up at the pump this morning and paid $1.58/gal. for regular in Mass. Not too bad....... even though it was all of six degrees outside!
  • How about the Charlton Heston classics like "Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments". After 25 years of marraige and countless views of these great flicks, my husband looks forward to them as much as I do. (I was a child bride of 19 - really!)
  • I usually resolve not to make any resolutions. I find it difficult to stick with it all year long. Plus, there's enough pressure in my life already - why would I add to it when everyone around me does such a great job. For me, resolutions are go…
  • O.K .............I'll fess up, I'm from Massachusetts. There are so many historical sites that are within driving distance, we have great ethnic food - coffee syrup, and soda. We have dinner at lunchtime and supper at dinertime. We drop our "R's"…
  • My parents had one of those silver trees in the early 60's. When I got married in th late 70"s, I took 3 boxes of the pretty pink balls that they used to decorate it with. I still use them every year. I also have several decorations that my son &…
  • Here's my 2 cents................ Just joined the game play Back from vacation - ho hum knew you'd still be here missed the Forum .............
  • I usually just slap a blank post-it note on the applicants resumes that I'm truly interested in while doing a job fair. No taking notes, it's very discrete, and no one is the wiser to what I'm doing...............
  • We are a RI employer. and we can't require direct deposit. We had about 5 employees who simply refused to do dd, but we kept sending them articles on why dd is better all around, and guess what? Now we have 100% participation.
  • Deidre, sorry that I didn't respond sooner. Took the classes at CCRI, great instructor. No - was not a PHR prior to the exam. Never took the paper exam, but I can tell you that pushing the submit button on the computer test is a very funky feeli…
  • I just took the SPHR last Friday and PASSED!!!!!!!! (Snoopy Dance!!). I did use the SHRM materials and a 13 week prep course. It was tough, but well worth it. My advise would be to study as much as possible, but remember what you've learned thru …
  • We use E = Exceptional, C = Commendable, P = Proficient, A = Adequate, and U = Unsatisfactory. These categories are defined on the Performance Evaluation itself.
  • Thank you all................ this is exactly what I was looking for! Now to see if I can find the extra $'s somewhere to make it happen.....
  • Gracie, Thank you for your response. We already have this type of training in place, funded in part by a State grant. What I was looking for (more specifically), was a program in which new "Management Trainee" hires would rotatte from department …
  • What area are you looking for- Accounting, HR, Operations???
  • Once a verbal complaint has been made, we ususally ask an employee to put their complaint in writing. A paragraph or two is all that's needed. We will begin to act on a verbal complaint though.
  • We have the "at will" clause in several areas of our employemnt app. plus it's in our offer letters. Additioanlly, it's featured, BOLDED, and highlighted in our employee handbook. Did I fail to mention that we've NEVER had a layoff in the 75 years…
