What a great reflection on the past and what we have lost. Lawsuits unhead of - accident were that - just accidents. We always played outside with friends. TV was something you looked at in the evenings with your family. We weren't allowed to …

Let me see here... Met Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton). He is the same kind of person that he played on the Waltons - down to earth, friendly. Robby Benson. He taught some classes at the University of South Carolina several years ago. Very n…

My husband is hooked on this and says it is the best reality show he has seen. I have gotten "gagged out" on reality shows and usually switch over to old movies when this stuff comes on. Just watched "The Philadelphia Story" with Katherine Hepbu…

@ employee issues! The fun goes on without you. First I am honored and flattered to be included on Don's list (even though it was near the bottom). My pick would be probably Mel Gibson, especially when he was in his heyday in the Lethal Weapon m…

Now, that is ridiculous for someone to expect you to have these in a week after they knew about it for two months! What is you just conveniently "forget" to do them? Yeah, I know, we don't have that option. When I came to my present job about 3 1…

Let's see: 1. Dunno if I would quit my job immediately, but probably would eventually. 2. Establish trust funds for my parents and my brothers. 3. Buy my baby brother a new pickup truck for sure! 4. Buy about 10-15 acres with a house and a b…

$100,000! That IS crazy. I'd rather have had a nice home, completely (or mostly) paid for! One of my former bosses cashed in his life insurance policy to pay for his daughter's SECOND wedding (Probably around $50,000). It lasted about a year. B…

In a previous job I worked in an HR Department wth a bunch of very miserable women. We hired a lone male to work in the front of the department taking applications, general paperwork, etc. These females made this guy's life miserable - he could do…

I've no objections and have taken no offense that Forum posters have often thought of me as a man. Hell, I love men. As far as women, my late father in law (God Rest His Soul!) stated to me once: "Hell, I don't know what all this fuss is about w…

HRSage: You really DO need help! And you from California - the most laid back state in the nation. Didn't know anyone there wore ties. All I have seen are tshirts under jackets (maybe) and shoes worn without socks! Suggest either a support gro…

I never wear a tie, but I do wear stockings in 100 degree heat! I cut my teeth in the banking industry. You didn't grace the front door of the executive suite without men wearing ties and jackets and ladies with stockings and jackets.

I've done this for about 20 years and it does not get any easier. Even when a person is a god awful employee and you have given them every chance in the book, there is still a part of you that knows someone is going to suffer because this person do…

Hey - I'm 36. Who am I?

I liked your advice to the employee - especially "get a grip". Anyway...working in healthcare, you find a lot of dysfunctional behavior, a lot of it sexual in nature. We had a couple who used to "do it" regularly in the parking garage and construc…

I think Mark Twain said "Living Well is the Best Revenge". Seriously, it helps not having human children to feed, clothe, educate, buy their cars, pay their credit card bills, bail them out of jail, pay for therapy (parents), pay for weddings,div…

We are a two family Lexus and have never owned a BMW, so I can't compare the two. Our Lexus RX 300 (the SUV) is a great vehicle. We drove every ding-dong SUV made before we bought this one and it had the smoothest ride of any SUV. We actually bou…

Speaking of Jesse Jackson. I was at a Speakers Platform Association meeting a few years ago and struck up a conversation with a black lady sitting in the lobby. Jesse and his entourage came swirling by and she said "You see that man over there? I…

I assume this poster is not of the HR ilk and therefore does not understand our way of life. I suspect they are an accountant or some other less humor- appreciating individual.

I often have dreams about places I have never been and then I visit them in real life. I remember the first time I did this as a child, I dreamed I was in a house with a very unique mirror in the living room. I later visited a house I had never be…

I feel your pain. I had to haul two people in my office yesterday and have a talk with them. One was upset because the other one asked her to go downstairs and sign for some lunches for the department (paid for BY the company, mind you!). The o…

Don....I will not even comment!

What about Rollin' Stone? "Hard Rock" Concrete? Rock 'n Roll? Just a few off the top of my head!

Mentel: I have heard of a lot of things in the office arena that cause men to "heat up", but caffeine is not one of them!
