Grey haired people are distinguished looking - maybe not distinguished at all, but have the appearance anyway. My mother, age 98 and still sitting on our couch, dyed her hair until well into her 80's - think of all the money that she spent with the…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-28-03 AT 10:09AM (CST)[/font][p]I don't thik that those that prefer the BBC are not showing that they are not pro-american. I, too, watch BBC a bit and find that the world news includes issues that w…

Be prepared to modify your ethics. Legal ethics and ethics for the rest of us are a bit different. The role of the attorney is to defend their client. That sometimes puts management attorneys in the position of having to turn good guys into bad g…

I think I'll take a nap.

No, thanks.

Speaking of weddings. I'm a happy guy because my daughter married a middle eastern man. In their culture the grooms family does, and pays for everything. Didn't cost a dime. Nice guy, too.

A three pack of underwear for $8.95? Must not be going to Costo.

To Sonny - yes they did - exactly that.

In my very first HR job in Benefits (my job was to manually calculate medical benefits on a 10 key adding maching, write them on a three part NCR paper, and process the check) I was the first male in a department of females. They made my life miser…

Who are these people who are spending so much money that the consultant can buy the BMW, the wardrobe and all the technology?

Sorry, Don, Canada geese do show up in California. Some years back there was a big controversy over a developer wanting to build houses on a hill (about 10 miles from my house) where the geese wintered or summered, I don't remember which. The gees…

My favorite sign shows up in a column in the LA Times each day. Today's is "Visitors who throw litter into the crocodile enclosure will be asked to retrieve it"

Unfortunately, the world is full of execs who feel like you have described. Sometimes that is our fault because we don't try to understand the business, stay doing administrative work, tell people "you can't do that" rather than solve their problem…

I don't remember - three or four years.

That comes later. By the way, in line with the theme of this thread, interested parties can see Gillian2, at least from the neck up, by typing "sinclair hugh" into Google. The second or third listing should be my page in the Forensic Consultants A…

Gillian2 is close to 5-10 (5-9 1/2), is 63 but looks like 53, weights much less than Don's estimate of 234 and three quarters (actually 170) and because he got fired two months ago is sitting at the computer in shorts, an Ensenada, Mexico t-shirt an…

Guanajuato, Mexico - walking the narrow streets, eating authentic Mexican food, listening to the mariachi music, climbing those 130 steps (yup, no elevator) to the Language Center at the Univ. of Guanajuato and helping the students with their Englis…

People in their 30's look like they just got out of high school.

The right combination of stuff I guess - didn't work the first time.

I think that the issue of the person accepting another offer after accepting yours is not so much an issue of integrity, but timing. If a person is doing what they should be doing in a job search, it is not uncommon for someone to have two or more …

I'm glad to see all the 20's chiming in. It lets me know that on the Forum and in my classes as well, that there is a good crop of HR people to take over when the rest of us go on to what we want to do next. Incidentally, those of you that have ki…

I don't remember how it felt.

You've got that right, except for the part of "gringos". We stay as far away from them as possible!

I expect that the Daily Bulletin will have an update sometime between Saturday and Monday.

OK, here I am. Gillian2 is Gillian from another location. Without all the gory details, I am no longer at the university. Anyone who would like the gory details can go to [url]www.dailybulletin.com[/url], click on search, change the first date to…

I don't have the research material at the moment but be careful with California Privacy regs. Policies that fit in other places may not fit for us.

There are employers who pay exempt employees overtime, however, the payment is generally tied to some sort of project or deadline. The primary reason for the payment is that if they do not receive something extra their employees make more money tha…

You're welcome.
