I agree with Ritaanz. Separate the situation of the supervisor enabling stuff that shouldn't be enabled and the sick employee - an event of today. If he missed his carpool and wanted a ride, then tell him sorry and suggest a taxi. He's sick so HR…

He would have probably lasted until 110 so yes, you do have jeans.

I've got genes. My mother will be 100 on the 26th.

Just eighty? I plan on living a lot longer than that and with all faculties intact. Although I will never know I plan on outliving all other 60 year olds on the forum, all the 50's, some of the 40's and the rest would be too much to hope for.

Stay home - it's not a good idea to get on the freeways on holidays - they become miles of parking lots. We decided this in 1983 on our first, and last, trip out of town on a holiday.

As an expected thread changer, I too must decline. I don't see any connection between Senator Byrd and Republicans, the President, Mississippi or statements by conservatives. All I know about Senator Byrd is what I see on the television. He appea…

That's an old canard which is trotted out whenever the argument is bankrupt. Those who don't support the cause are unpatriotic etc. etc. Baloney!

I'm not sure. Don will know.

That's a fairly liberal point of view, isn't it? Kind of like the Iraq version of the Marshall Plan to build up what was destroyed.
-
Could be, but the time frames of throes and overthroes are apparently hard to predict.

To demonstrate the vast difference between the liberals and conservatives after 9-11, the senate voted 98-0 in favor of going to war, and the house, 400 and something to 2. Rove, usually astute, went brain dead. I supported going into Afghanistan …

No, wait! I have been looking forward to retiring part time in a foreign country. Annexation would just mean I would be crossing another state line.

Judy missed one, but the cartoon writer for "Brevity" picked it up. This morning's cartoon shows a guy throwing a stick, while two dogs are by his side. One dog say's "he keeps trying to get rid of that stick, but just to torture him I keep bringi…

Congratulations!

You didn't?

No, keep 'em coming. They provide job security for HR.

Well, I won't have to deal with it but the rest of you will. I think such a law would be a disaster for the workplace. HR will be in the position of having to try and bring reason in a dispute between those who think their religion is the best - n…

You do that and you will go to jail. It's the money, not the venue.

Just a simple question. Why is it that Parabeagle should not comment about what has happened in the South - he is not an expert after all - while you can comment ad infinitum about the deficiencies you see about other parts of the country, about wh…

No, Don. You are as guilty of broad-brushing as anyone, particularly with your "mexifornia" pejorative, but that is my perspective since I live here and know that there are as many diverse opinions here as elsewhere. I don't remember any forum mem…

Cell phones have turned work into a 24/7 affair and the increased stress that goes with that. I don't participate. This morning on the way in, the phone rang and I couldn't tell if it was on the radio or the cellphone(emergency use only). I calle…

What a coincidence. I have also just completed research for my study. I have studied the ultra right rantings of certain people and the pages in the newspaper in north San Diego County which are populated by the same. The words are all the same -…

No bricks from me. You have job related reasons for what you require. No problem.

I knew it and you confirmed it. I always thought that people who worked in Public Relations spoke a different language.

Yes, Shadowfax, we pay for it, but we would also pay for the accidents that occur because no one translated the safety rules or drivers manual into another language. I'm glad there is a Spanish version of the DMV manual. Not sure about Farsi, Tagal…

And the other opinion is -----. Translating and all the other stuff we do is done because business runs better when more people are informed. And yes, sometimes government forces employers to do things they would be better of doing on their own. …
