Don, if this post wasn't so funny I would try for a good come back. Well, at least you made me laugh on this gloomy Friday.
-
Hey, Don. How come they do that funny thing with our states sometimes? Now you are in MD and I noticed I was in MS earlier. Talk about walking in someone else's shoes!

Come on -- just because another country or the U.N. Secretary General sees things another way does not make them "on the take". The U.S. was/is the biggest supporter of the U.N. when it wants sanctions on other countries -- but can not handle it (t…

Well the debates matter to me! I would rather pay attention to them than the "quickie" ads marketed by any candidate. At least we can wait in anticipation of some sort of reality from these people during the course of the responses. I know…

Okay, I see! Then both of them can go under the Act.

"Comment from the postmaster: "She's a minority". Duh...when does this excuse incompetence?" I resent that! The incompetence is on the part of the postmaster -- who would make such a ridiculous observation as a reason not to do a job properly.

What mayor, Don? Are you referring to our state's Republican governor?
-
It's okay with me. Ron Reagan was surprisingly good. I caught his speech on stem cell research.
-
I don't know who first said it either, but my mom and older sister sure wore it out. They practically said it every day.

Here are a few of my favorites. There are no secrets to success; Don't waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence. General Colin P…

Yep -- tuff times, as they say. This was supposed to be my easy year, but it sure is not cracking up to be that way. Oh, well, guess that's why we make the big bucks. Hahaha

I work right near a wonderful park preserve. There is talk that the road through it may be closed because of 9/11, but for now it is still open. From time to time we can spot a bald eagle or two while riding through. It is a wonderful sight inde…

Hey, that is funny. I am sharing it with my government worker spouse. Hope you don't get me in trouble. LOL

Yes, well said Marc, and may we always have the priveledge of disagreeing and protesting and agreeing and so on... It is really what makes this country a true blessing to be in. As a bright-eyed and eager college student in 1968, I was absolutel…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-30-04 AT 08:55AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Well, I did not hear disrespect or vilification in his words, Don. I heard a very passionate (and compassionate) young man caught up in a situation that he wanted…

Yes, it is spread out so far to the right that I got tired (almost) of reading it (lol). What with the constant strolling from side to side. I tend to lean towards the left, you know. Anyhow, I hope some of you saw the C-SPAN programming of the K…

Thanks, guys. It is good to be back in the saddle again -- although there is something to be said for those mid-day naps.

Wow Margaret, your jump is great! There is nothing like jumping out of a plane -- and living to talk about it. I did it for my 30th birthday (way long ago). Wish I had a photo to post of it, but I only have one of me on the ground all suited up a…

You sound like fun, Susan. There was a great song when I was a teenager called, "A boy named Sue" -- not that I am recommending it. Have a wonderful baby.
-
Naming a child can be so much fun (and drama). I always tell my friends to remember that the child's teachers and school chums will have to pronounce the name. That being said, I like Braxton, Spencer, and Brendan for a boy. But you guys do whate…

Of course we do, Scott. Sometimes they come back and share info. It is especially heartwarming when they say something like, "it was a difficult time for me but I appreciate the way you made sure my dignity was maintained". It does not always hap…

Our fiscal office does payroll, so I am not an expert in this area. However, I did research systems for tracking time and attendance and recommended the Lathem Time touch station which we are now using. It is a biometric (finger) system and has ex…

I am with Don on this one. If you have salary grade ranges they should be adhered to. No one should have an hourly rate below the minimum, and those who make more than the maximum rate, must be red circled. Or just don't have a chart at all, sin…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-30-03 AT 12:45PM (CST)[/font][p]Just got back to this thread. Don D has covered it all -- and much better than I did originally. Our insurance plan defines the covered group. You may wish to look a…

tax issues, defined benefit (health) plan issues, labor law issues, but most of all ethical issues. I would not work there.

Don D. Our's does not either, but you know Pork. Pork - Why are you shouting at me again -- thought we were friends. Leslie -- Thanks, that really helps and I will adapt a "Special Circumstances" policy for our handbook. We paid all employees sc…

Hope you get some responses because I want to see what others are doing as well. We do pay the non-exempts for the day unless they are scheduled off (sick leave or vacation leave approved). In which case we charge them the leave. However, this mo…

We are a small not for profit with 46 employees. We offer STD/LTD (premium full paid by company)and a generous leave plan as well. Employees can use sick leave for the days it requires for the STD to kick in (8) and then they can use the STD/LTD. …

Yes, the provider I use told me about this situation before it hit the news, and so I locked in for enough for our company. However, I am living in fear that any day he will call me and say sorry, he can not get what we need. If that happens, we wi…

This is not an HR issue. You should call your law enforcement agency for a response to your query.
