The reason I didn't respond to the poll was because there wasn't an option for "Don't know, don't care"!

I agree, Nae, about not making it any easier for them. We had a rash of thefts from unlocked cars in our neighborhood some years back, and all the thieves had to do was wander down the street late at night checking to see if car doors were unlocked.…

Who needs to be on the phone to do that?! I remember as a kid, turning my head to say something to my mom while walking down the street and smacking right into a parking meter, and as a teenager being so absorbed in conversation with a friend walkin…

Our employees have been notoriously resistant to anything we've tried to offer for a wellness plan, with the exception of on-site flu shots, which always get a pretty good response. Otherwise, participation in most wellness-related things we've offe…

I came from a household where the doors were never locked, but since I moved out on my own at age 17 I have always kept my doors locked. I was a single mom for many years, and while I never lived in a high-crime area, I did live next door to a guy w…

I just read an article that said that both Leno's and O'Brien's shows' ratings had gone up since this started, so I guess there is no such thing as bad press! Now at least one NBC exec is blaming Conan O'Brien and saying that this happened because…

In my experience, anybody who has checked the "disagree" box on the warning report is more than happy to provide an explanation of why they disagree...often pages and pages of explanation. Usually it's something like "it wasn't my fault" or "I wasn'…

We have a spot on our warning report that requires the employee to check a box that says if they agree or disagree with the company's statement, and they are allowed to state the reasons why they disagree. They sign that area, and then there is a sp…

Okay, another "global warming" update: it's 5 p.m. and it's almost 50 degrees here....in Alaska....in early January. Usually it cools off after the sun goes down, but today it's actually gotten warmer. Granted, the wind is gusting about 30 mph, but …

Yeah, this part of Alaska isn't as cold as further up north and it's not unusual for us to have temps in the 40's off and on all winter. Growing up here, I remember being bummed so many Christmases because when you're a child, Christmas is [U]suppos…

And here I sit in Alaska, where everyone expects lots of cold & snow.....it's 8:15 a.m. and already 42 degrees (that's ABOVE zero, not below).

Sheesh, I can't even get my husband to finish remodeling our tiny little bathroom...a project he started in 2005!

Hilarious!

Heck, I've had people in my life who were more than happy to verbally abuse and humiliate me for free...if I feel like I need more of that, I'll just call my ex-husband!

Yes, Descriptions Now is by Knowledgepoint, and we used to have an employee handbook program by them called Policies Now. I've never tried Performance Now but most of us are fairly happy with the way our current performance evaluation system works a…

[quote=plynnl;718501]I was also a single mom putting together all the toys and the worst was all the decals that went on the Hot Wheel garages.[/quote] Ugh, yes, decals that went on any toy vehicles or their accessories were the worst. And if you …

I love it. Reminds me of when my kids were growing up, only I was a single parent so I was the one doing all the assembling. I remember putting together trains, Matchbox car garages, toy boxes, myriad little GI Joe vehicles, tricycles, and much more…

...a new assistant so I no longer have to do all the jobs in the department, and a big fat raise for having spent most of the last year doing all the jobs in the department!
-
I agree that if it's already been declined in writing, it isn't necessary to send a letter rescinding it. You aren't actually rescinding the offer if they've already declined it.

Ick! My 12-year-old grandson and 10-year-old granddaughter would love it.

My husband is in charge of the turkey also, although we both agree on the way to cook it. He puts it on to cook late the night before, lightly salted and brushed with canola oil, covered in tinfoil and with the oven set at a very low temperature. Wh…

We don't have a policy on pets in the workplace. People with dogs will sometimes bring their dogs in to visit on a day off or something, and I remember one person bringing their cat in and having it in their office for at least part of a day, but I …

Thanks, Wendi. Sounds yummy and extremely easy, which are two of the most important things about any recipe, as far as I'm concerned!

We always did Thanksgiving at my parents' house until mom developed Alzheimer's and it got to be too much to expect her to host the meal. I started to have Thanksgiving at my house every year, although we have done it at my son's place a few times a…

We don't stuff the bird, but my brother always makes dressing from my mom's recipe. Neither my brother or sister who live in town ever married or established their own particular holiday traditions, so they both like to stick fairly close to what we…

I bought the first Dummies book I'd ever bought, "Puppies for Dummies" when we got our new dog about a month ago. We have read a little bit of the book but so far its primary purpose seems to be as a chew toy for the puppy....she loves to chew on bo…
-
I love it! I would buy cases of the book if I actually thought our employees would read it, but two-thirds of them would call me and say "now what was it you wanted me to do with this book?"

Hospitalized for 2 weeks with "possible" H1N1? C'mon, unless you're having really severe symptoms of some sort, most doctors (around here, anyhow) are telling people not to even bother to come in to the doctor's office or ER and just to stay home fo…
