  • Guess Who on the first one. Can't guess on the second. However, I'm not climbing in because I'll only be 40 this year!
  • Around here, people think it's cute to have their child recite every nursey rhyme known to mankind. Then they jumble together what the name is. I have called and gotten the Barry White version of "Hey Baby, nobody's home right now, leave your mess…
  • Happy Mother's Day to you too! And all the rest of you all!

  • Here in Southwest MO - our tornados hit on Sunday. We have about 4 area towns that are pretty much flattened. FEMA said that one town, Pierce City, will have the whole downtown torn down and soon because it's unsafe. The good side to it all - we …

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-09-03 AT 10:38AM (CST)[/font][p]Whew! For a minute I thought Ray A was going to say his real name was Nookie Bourbon! x:-8
  • How did we know that you'd have a really good exotic name?
  • Now, I like the wrinkle on the Exotic name game. We had many, many pets, so let's see...... Pooter Woodland. Hmmmmmmm......Perhaps I need to select another pet. Zanne
  • Forget the beer. I heard the new law is bottled imported wine only.
  • What is that certain look? Would we find a description of it in the Dress Code thread?
  • Okay - I feel a sense of guilt having started the Grocery store bashing thread and now us unrestrained HR people are Wal Mart bashing. But hopefully I made up for it with the soap opera name thread. I think we can ALL agree that there are two side…
  • HS I just looked at your profile and you truly do make the best with what you have! Zanne
  • Don: Does your mayor have any say over customer service at Wal-Mart? If so- THEN you have Wal Mart Braggin' rights! Zanne
  • You know - with a story like that - that's more work than just coming to work!
  • Being a bank system, we do look at credit history. It's amazing the number of people who apply to work here that have either a mega history of late payments or have defaulted on one of our loans to them. I'd be embarassed to apply at a company tha…
  • jmpmo: I think you have seen it all. I decided I would add an email reply from a person "bickerchick" that keeps sending me resumes - but no cover letters. Does this qualify as a bad cover letter? I promise I haven't changed anything but her nam…
  • Good luck! I took a preparation course through a college and found that one teacher didn't have a clue. Lucky for me, his area was an area that I had been working in. I passed the SPHR - but my hardest area was the union law. If you don't ha…

  • Pocket protector? Surely someone as cool as you doesn't wear nerd gear.
  • I think you have redeemed yourself. You had a good explanation, the interviewer agreed, and you blew him away with your answer about yourself. Hold your head up high and go on. If you get the job- great! If not, then perhaps you didn't want to …
  • Wow - The HR people are venting this week! I TOTALLY AGREE about the cell phones. Yesterday evening I was at the Y using a treadmill and keeping one eye on the news on the small TV in front of our treadmills. A young woman hopped on the treadmill…
  • My Movie palate has changed from adventure and romance to Kids' Flicks. So, I will probably go see Spy Kids 3-D and perhaps Daddy Day Care. However, I'm thinking Daddy Day Care will be a one-joke movie that lasts 1.5 hours longer than it should. …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-18-03 AT 02:13PM (CST)[/font][p]Dutch: I'm in the Southwest MO area - around Joplin MO. Did you go to the Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield next to Bass Pro? It's worth the trip! We were i…

  • I worked with a person who used to write "FU Janet" or "FU Bob" on things that she needed "Follow Up" with someone. It was pretty tense the day a controversial memo from the Director was found with "FU [Director's Name]" written on it. My coworker…
  • Well, let's see - I'm the last of four kids so I had to be "different" from my siblings so that the school teacher would call me by my given name, not my sibs' names. I also developed the art of a straight face and dry humor to make the sibs mad wh…
  • You know, I do remember reading something about a time-management company that when the experts came in, they would look for the laziest person there. Why? The lazy person figures out how to complete their job in the least amount of steps so that …

  • HCCADC: I did this once. It's (in my opinion) a no-win situation. We observed an employee (at her choice of days of the week and either a morning or afternoon)for four hours. After the study she complained that she had been observed on a "slow d…

  • Leslie: I like your style! Zanne
  • Amen.
    in EARLY BIRDS Comment by Zanne April 2003
  • Amen, brother! I'm lucky that in the first time in my 20year + career, I actually have a boss that means it when he says "Work until the job is done, whether it's 30 hours or 60 hours. Take time off to be with your kid. Just let me know." I do. …

  • So does he work in HR? See the thread of "Paging Drew Carey" - I think he'd fit in! Zanne
  • Perhaps you are right about the jeans and cropped shirt not so bad. Perhaps I've gone over to the "older generation" with my disapproval of showing belly buttons, bra straps, and thong underwear with low rider jeans. Argh! I'm becoming my mothe…
