I am underweight and no entering that phase of life yet, but I am always hot. In fact, it doesn't matter what the temperature, I keep a small fan running in my office all the time just to keep air circulating. I am definitely in the minority among f…

Hey, I really like some of these suggestions...I think I will try the grape juice trick to see if it works. If I find purple "goose prints" on my sidewalk, I will know it doesn't. Anyway....now I have a raccoon with an identity crisis. He sits on…

I am sure that it I practiced that digital procedure on these "foul" fowl friends, they would take flight, never to return. However, this is not an option. I do appreciate your correcting them on my "fowl" interpretation, though.

We are very vulnerable as HR people. I'll never forget a few years ago, we lost a member of our SHRM group due to a shooting. Payroll had gotten a notice from the federal government to garnish the employee's wages due to non-payment of taxes. Thi…

The only thing worse than the rain is the "steam" that follows it! We were in a five year drought here in South Carolina, but no more! It is just HOT HOT HOT!

Such restraint! I'm impressed!

I think as we have all seen that diets don't work. I was never real serious about exercise until I was in my mid 30's and then I joined a gym. I found that aerobics did not fit my body type as much as weight lifting. I started lifting weights 3 d…

Does anyone know the history of the word "bootie"? I always thought that's what babies wore on their feet until they were old enough to wear real shoes! I remember the old song "Shake your Booty". I guess that's the same part of the anatomy we …

Good Lord! You would think that instead of adding weight, it would burn the fat right off your bones!

Oh yes! This has happened to me several times. This last time, there were no written policies and procedures, no salary structures or scales, no one knew what the heck FMLA was or how to process it, the files were in chaos. There was no HRIS syst…

Yes, I have had these "free" introductory orders that state if you decide you don't want the publication, "simply" write cancel on it and you have no further obligation. Often, they do not stop sending the publication or the invoices. I have just …

Employers tend to get sued in today's world if they give references that would intentionally cause someone not to get a job. That's why most people only give neutral references nowdays. I don't care how badly I would want to keep an employee, I wo…

Either Don is off this afternoon or got scared off by all these wild women after him!

Hey Don! Where are your staples and fig leaf?????

I can sorta forgive candidates for being stupid, but sometimes current employees are the ones I worry about. We have an internal posting procedure where we post internal vacancies for three days on the bulletin boards. The posting outlines the qua…

Just reply and say "Sorry, another applicant offered me a Mercedes. You are welcome to reapply if you can do better!"

Hey Beagle! A full moon is coming up...so watch out!

Let's see here... Employees who come to work dressed like hookers and get offended when men respond to them in the way men respond to hookers. People who think the maximum of the pay grades applied to everyone else but them because I have been her…

Nope...it's not just you. Our benefits specialist has had this problem repeatedly and most of it was due to the fact that she had been making allowances in past years for people who ignored, forgot, or for a multitude of reasons forgot deadlines fo…

Not this year. It's too #@*&!! HOT in Florida in June. I went to San Francisco a few years ago when the SHRM Conference was out there and I must say, it was a great conference. Most conferences have a lot of FLUFF, but you actually were a…
