Wait a minute, maybe that pellet was what I heard hit the side of our truck the other day....the only reason it didn't leave a dent was because it had lost so much velocity traveling north from Oregon to S.E. Alaska!

Yay! Whatever whoever did fixed it so I can use the emoticons in the text of my messages! =D>

I don't get any emoticons on the right when I reply using "Reply" either.

[QUOTE=KSR6450;716822]That actually explains alot. O:) But what do you do about those poor souls who just won't take the hint? The ones who ask you for a refill as long as you are going that way.[/QUOTE] When people have overstayed their welcome…

[QUOTE=NaeNae55;716799]Maybe it is just your part of the country. I get frustrated because they are ALWAYS in there cleaning, and half the time you can't go in because the one cleaning is a guy.[/QUOTE] That same thing has happened to me more than…

[QUOTE=joannie;716790]Hey, that paneling is about 20 years newer than mine. And I have orange shag carpet.[/QUOTE] Eeek, orange shag carpet....you've given me a flashback to the apartment I rented for 10 before I bought my house! When I moved in…

[QUOTE=Paul in Cannon Beach;716762]This is from a "Deep Thought" by Jack Handey. When I die, I want to die like my grandfather--who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.[/QUOTE] I love it! I have to say…

[QUOTE=Sharon McKnight SPHR;716733] I've heard that not looking at the person you're talking to in the eye means your lying. I'm not buying that one. Sharon [/QUOTE] I agree with you, Sharon. I don't make a lot of direct eye contact with peopl…

The air conditioning in my office can be so cold that sometimes when the air kicks in, not only are people who come in here crossing their arms, they're blowing on their hands and stamping their feet to keep the feeling in their toes. (Of course, a…

[QUOTE=Dutch2;716708]We too had a couple of Managers who liked to monkey with the job descriptions for their departments. It is amazing how they always came back wanting a higher grade and higher salary range. I instruct all Managers that the job …

Oh, yeah, it's all driven by the ratings, for sure. And the media has absolutely no problem running the circus as long as it's bringing in the high ratings. On a side note, my great-niece had a baby last week, and they named him Michael, which i…

Yes, and I for one am very tired of the relentless coverage, the interviews of anybody who ever came within his circle of acquaintances, and on and on. Whatever anyone thought of him while he was alive, and however sad it is when someone dies young…

Looks like the only thing ours doesn't cover is "intentionally self-inflicted injuries", so it doesn't specifically say anything about any sort of substance abuse.

People aren't even hospitalized that long for fairly major surgery anymore!

David, that story reminds me of the time my boss got an e-mail from an employee saying "Our water cooler is empty....what should I do if I need a drink of water?" He responded that not only did all the faucets in the building dispense cold water th…

[QUOTE=NaeNae55;716639]You are so right David. The other day the mail clerk told me that if she doesn't know who the mail should be directed to she gives it to me.[/QUOTE] I get all the odd mail that nobody knows what else to do with, also. I'm n…

Personally, I am not a big toucher under most circumstances. Warm and friendly, yes, touchy-feely, no. Once or twice there has been an occasion where someone who was leaving hugged me, and I have one colleague who I only see about once a year who a…

[QUOTE=NaeNae55;716623]Accident prone people are people who either are not really paying attention or are people who subconciously want to get hurt (for the attention or because they want to check out). I believe one should start with counseling (o…

[QUOTE=KSR6450;716552]I'm with cnghr. Started out as a teller, then moved up. Since I dislike dealing with people I moved out of the retail side and into the HR position. Hmmm, maybe that wasn't the best choice given the whole "dealing with people" …

Since benefits administration is part of my position, I often hear more than I would like about people's medical issues. I guess they think it will be helpful when they are having a problem with the insurance if they tell me WAY more than I ever w…

I've always been in banking, I started as a teller and did a number of different jobs before I moved to the administrative end of things. I started out doing payroll, then gradually added benefits administration and other HR-related things, and abo…

I've got it.....it was a test to see if the applicants would be willing to share their passwords, and if they did then they could say "well, we can't hire you because if you shared your password with us then you would probably share your work passwo…

I just read about this on another HR site I visit, and all I can say is....wow. I can understand wanting to find applicants of the highest integrity, etc. but this just goes way beyond making any kind of sense to me. Having been thoroughly trained…

We have always been pretty lenient about the use of cell phones at work, with the exception of our front-line people who are not allowed to have theirs in their area during working hours. Now, however, I'm beginning to see so much texting (and othe…

I always have my boss sign off on anything related to my employment, leave, insurance, etc. that I would normally sign for other employees. Even if it isn't strictly necessary, I prefer to do it that way to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

[QUOTE=DavidS;716216]We are attempting something similar, although on a much smaller scale. We started last year (our insurance plan year is July through June) by having employees complete a "health risk assessment" questionnaire on our medical ins…

We have always allowed employees to hold baby showers on site in our breakrooms, and we've never had any problems. Generally the people attending are all employees, and they understand not to abuse the opportunity to use a company room for a gather…

I just found a reference online to the swine flu outbreak of 1976...it was in Fort Dix, New Jersey so that's probably why I don't remember it, since it's so far removed from where I live.
