Brush with greatness. This isn't exactly on point, but I enjoyed this story so much that I have to share it: Supposedly, an amateur body builder was in town for a competition and Arnold Schwarzenegger was staying at the same hotel. Amateur gets o…

Wear a tie every day but Friday. "Clothes make the man" I don't mind at all.

Ray: Nice picture, but you expect us to believe you're 50? There's not a single post-it note on your monitor. OK, where do you hide them?

32 here and proud of it!

I'm almost sorry that the only things I could tell the Austrailian employer when they did the reference call was the name, dates of service, and job title of my worst work comp employee. : )

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-22-03 AT 12:51PM (CST)[/font][p]Don: I didn't mention a lake because there isn't one. We do share about a 30 acre beaver pond with the National Forest. The closest paper mill is about 50 miles away…

Any time you're in the area, stop in, we'll do the hooch and steaks. Do you prefer beef or venison? Not only do we have 240 acres, but it joins the National Forest, so we have thousands of acres to play on, a trout stream, etc. Come on up! Bring…

Happy Birthday to LindaD and HRCathy! HRCathy, we share the same birthday, but not the same year. I'll be 58 on Friday, enjoying and appreciating life more now than ever. Don's right, you do learn to appreciate things more as you age, or at least…

Family is great, isn't it? My two brothers and I have been close most of our adult lives, and we all have talents in building/remodeling, so we do things all the time. Three weeks ago we laid a cherry floor in a nephew's house, last weekend we put…

Golf courses and parks have no end of problems with Canada geese. We've tried everything; from mylar tape, dogs, destroying eggs, trapping, a 'dead goose' decoy that floats in the water and is supposed to scare off the live ones, you name it, we've…

Your concerns are, as others have said, justified, but it's part of the job, and you take what precautions you can and get on with life. I've had two situations that bothered me: One individual actually ended up going out on permanent disability, …

AprilShowers Maybe if you'd change your name to MayFlowers!? Actually, although it seems like it's been raining for a long time, in our vicinity we're still short of precip by about 4-5" since the first of the year.

Since someone congratulated me recently on my 100th post, Congratulations! Obviously, we haven't had enough posts for Forumites to be speculating about our appearance, though. I'm certain that's a good thing.

Somehow, make them seem to be of value, but forget them in the lunch room. They'll disappear. No one will ever know where they went.

Yesterday it was Don who left us laughing, today it's Parabeagle. I'll have to check my turn signal when I get into the car (If I remember). In my business, you know you're getting older when some of the cops we hire look like they probably only h…

Why is it attorneys? I was on an interview panel once, interviewing attorneys, and the one attorney we had on our panel was taken aback when a female we were interviewing responded to his second discriminatory question with: "That's the second dis…

I'm sure that's the question on everyone's mind!

Since you've posted a few times, I assume you're accustomed to our humor: Did the company hire you because you fit their 'ideal employee' profile? : )

Soap Opera: Dean Since I was one of those Rural Route babies, with no street name. Somehow the one name doesn't have the same ring as Madonna or Prince : ( Exotic: Augsburg Spring Now there's a name with character!

Since I'm the only response: Ginger, no question, voting over, polls closed!

Agree with Don, but do understand how difficult it is to shake that feeling that you've blown your chance. I went to an interview in a different city once and the company provided a room the night before an all-day interview. Time set up with ever…

Must be tax deadline day. I was hearing groans even before this list. Some pretty good ones, though!

I knew it was a mistake when we moved into our new building and my office was positioned so that I no longer see applicants coming into the office!!

Paul: I'm sure we'll find other types of posters, but one of my favorites is the "employee poster", or the person posing as an HR type. "My friend has this problem" Let's see what kind of advice I can get from this site to get my employer in trou…

You reminded me of an employee that we lost in 2000. He also had cancer, but battled it like a champion. Continued to work to within a month of his death, and must have just drug himself to work on some days. One of our other employees asked hi…

Verry interesting! Graduated from high school knowing that I'd be an electrical engineer. Two year associate degree in electronics (we studied tubes, not transistors : ), went to work to put myself through a four year engineering program, working …

Not mine, but I saw one I liked "CATBRT"

One of the web sites is Truthorfiction.com and it deals with this subject under 'attack on America'. It claims it is partly truth, partly fiction. Read it for yourself, and take it for what it's worth.

Just looked out the window at our neighborhood station and it's $1.75 here in SE Wisconsin. I remember personally buying gas for $.199 during a 'gas war' during the sixties. Remember gas wars?? Those were the days!
