  • I guess I figured HR in Okla was a man, because I didn't know there were any women in Okla. That's why I love this group! I learn something every day!
  • At that time, I didn't have any real work to do. Seriously - my boss was such a rigid manager I was only allowed to work on assignments he gave me. When I was done, I would literally sit and wait for something else. When I started there, I thought…
  • Believe it or not, I had to research facial hair extensively at a previous employer (the owner was okay with some styles but not all). A goatee is a vertical strip that extends to (or over) the chin. It is not connected to any other facial hair, in…
  • Okay, I have to clear up one major, life-altering misconception of epic proportions. What Don has is not a goatee. Shaggy on Scooby Doo has a goatee. What Don has is technically called a "Van Dyke". Sincerely, Mr. Analretentive About Facial Hair
  • A few weeks ago, I had an applicant tell me if we didn't like his work after one month, he would leave and return half his pay to us. I told him that would probably run afoul of several wage & hour guidelines, including min. wage, but I admired …
  • I was going to be Ron Santo's replacement. I was screened out by the most unfair of tests... inability to hit the high fastball. 30 years later, the Cubs are still waiting for Ron Santo's replacement. Maybe the job will still be open when my son is …
  • Hey! You kids get out of my yard!
  • I know it's not something I should base my decision on, either legally or morally, but... everytime I have hired a woman whose husband is in jail, it has turned out badly for us. I do have one that is bucking the trend. Jeannie's husband and her lo…
  • TV Friend I would like: Fox Mulder. It would be good to have a friend that would never give up on you, and would risk his life against impossible odds to keep you happy. TV Friend I don't want: Gilligan. Like my life isn't already goofy enough.
  • I've been asked if I've ever had sex with a co-worker (unknown to me at the time, the question was being asked by a man who was hiring someone to work at night with his granddaughter). I've also been asked why I was applying for a woman's job.
  • So far, San Antonio is the only Texas city I've enjoyed. Never been to Austin, though...
  • >>>All right everyone! We all know the best singer/songwriter to hit Earth is none other then Wierd Al. hehehe
  • Kung Fu Fighting rocks!
  • >>How did I do?
  • Oh, yes. Life is so much easier now that I am unencumbered by follicular excess.
  • It was hair gel that apparently turned you into an incredibly suave Continental gentleman dressed in a tuxedo and driving a sportscar. Think James Bond... It didn't work on me, but it was fun otherwise. (Yes, "Santa" actually put a tube in my stock…
  • When I was 4 or 5, I was allowed to make out my own list for Santa (Christmas of '66 or '67). I could write well enough to make it legible, and my mom still has that list in her scrapbook. Anyway, first thing on the list... alberto vo5... I guess t…
  • I don't know where the "real" Dark Shadows house is, but I stayed at the Stanley Hotel once.
  • I know them all but #7. I'm "only" 40, but somehow I'm still a child of the '50s. I loved Dark Shadows as a kid - I used to love it when we didn't have school and I could watch it with my mom. Another show biz personality that would probably be a g…
  • As always, I am ready and willing to further evaluate this candidate for you. Just send her this way.
  • I have the reverse problem. I have too many managers who are so desperate to hire someone "decent" they will promise them the best shifts, hours, etc. at the expense of their senior employees. Shortsightedness and desperation hiring are the roots o…
  • I used an outplacement service once that may have hired some of those authors. Every bit of advice they gave - absolutely every bit - was wrong, wrong, wrong. I couldn't believe how bad they were.
  • Maybe that wasn't really a curler. Maybe it was some type of psychic antennna. Don't you feel stupid now!?
  • My household ban on Eminem CDs, MP3s, or anything else associated with him still stands.
  • My 11-year-old's CD collection looks a lot like mine. Oh, wait a minute - those are mine! He loves the Beatles, and he actually likes Elvis more than I do. The Blues Brothers movie is his favorite DVD, and he loves it when I put the top down and dri…
  • I gotta start reading these posts sooner... I love BT&MGs! Junior Walker is cool too. I find that I enjoy just about everyone who's ever been covered by the Blues Brothers. As I stumbled onto this post, I had just put a newly-purchased CD in…
  • Beats Jessi Turkistan.
  • OMG! This may be the best of the porn movie names! >>Exotic Name (?): Taffy Koch Now, let me get this one clarified. When you married, you changed your MIDDLE name? >> If I use my middle name from before I was married, my soap opera n…
  • When I was in college, I used to keep a little "nookie bourbon" in my liquor cabinet for special occasions, which amounted to any time my date agreed to come into the apartment.
  • Didn't I recently see a movie starring Spanky Montelle? Let's see, I was at a bachelor party and.... Oops! Never mind.
