I've been away but want to express my opinion. If I worked in an office with 4 or 5 HR professionals, we would have discussions, bounce ideas off one another, play devil's advocate, and look at issues from all sides. Because of the size of our bus…

I was also mistaken in that I thought the forum could be accessed only by HR professionals who have purchased a product. I think it should be somewhat restrictive in that any HR professional or manager with HR responsiblities could participate. Th…

What a way to start the day! I'm sure to be back there again before the day's over.

We bought a pontoon boat a few years ago. It's my 'instant vacation' two or three times a week from April to October. ...Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me sane after a day in HR. Fishing (barefoot...I'm real careful with my hooks), read…

When we moved back home after military time in 1973, my hubby (Mr. Frugality) found an old pair of Florsheims in an old garage we were tearing down. One shoe had the tongue missing. He made a new tongue, sewed it in with an ancient Singer treadle m…

My sweet husband talked me into helping him move 3 pallets of retaining wall stone yesterday. We had to unload the pallets by hand, one stone at a time. ...Almost 3 tons. It's been a long time since I've done that kind of mindless, backbreaking w…

Amen!

Ray, of course you are right that we need to speak out and uphold the highest moral standards for our society. I think our silence/tolerance is due to years of balancing the needs of the company with the rights of the employee. We know that a comm…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-04-04 AT 04:51PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I just can't believe Don got this fire burning and then erased his post. Don, are you out there? I came in late and missed your original post, but fully support …

Hang in there! It WILL get better. I had actually forgotten about the evil, weepy, crawly feelings until reading your post. Apple slices worked for me. I sliced them very thin (20-30 per apple) and would slowly chew an apple slice when I had a c…

I like to finish my day on the forum. It's now 6:35 p.m. and everyone else has gone home. I check out the serious stuff during the day, but like to read this thread to end the day on a good note. Don, I'm sorry I missed your first post. The writ…

My daughter surprises me with flowers in the office once in a while. My sweet husband recently discovered a jewelry shopping channel and bought me an "everyday diamond ring" and an "everyday sapphire ring". He often spends his extra cash on gems f…

My kids' babysitter got them hooked on chili over mashed potatoes. Hubby likes to fix smoked sausage, green peppers & onions, mushrooms & red-skin potatoes (mixed) and serve with corn on the cob.

Virgo #2. Quiet, studious, easy-going. Also married to a Virgo... I understand this is about the only sign that's compatible with itself. Sept 7th & 8th we will be 56 (he's older).

Everytime I say "diet" my hubby says "let's go to Dairy Queen". He must have invented the ice cream diet. I like mjindra's idea... no food after 7:00. I don't eat all day and work until 7:00, so IF I could stick to that I'd shed pounds like craz…

When EE's come to me with a problem and ask that I keep it confidential, I tell them I can't help solve the problem unless they allow me to talk to the CEO, manager or person who needs to know. I will suggest ways that I might broach the subject wi…

I'm using Don's picture for that. x:7

It's so frustrating because these sales people think they are entitled to take your time just because you were nice enough to answer the phone. I try to be polite but tell them I have no money left in my budget. It's amazing the number who want to…

Thanks! I needed a laugh today!

I keep my 20-something assistant busy so I can spend time reading the forum.

Interviewed a gentleman for bank custodian position. --This person would have the keys to the bank and work when no one else was around. When I asked about a gap in employment, he said he was in jail for bank robbery!

I quit cooking when my hubby discovered the kitchen. Works really well. The only complaints I hear are when I work too late. (oops, gotta go.)

Nicely dressed lady sat down for the interview, reached inside her blouse to adjust her bra straps, then began playing with her eye. She propped her elbow on my desk and began pulling at her lower eyelid. When it looked like her eyeball was going …

A friend told me today that one person got two (yes, two) calls on her cell phone during a funeral service. I can understand someone being distraught and forgetting to turn the durn thing off before the service, but she took the call and then left …

Amen!

What a precious baby boy! He's beautiful. Congratulations to you all.

What a wonderful idea! It's a pleasure reading about all of these people who have become almost like family! --And I read all of Don's post! Didn't realize the Peace Corps was that old! (kidding... I was a flower child in the 60's so I remember t…

One mile, but it's all up hill both directions, so I drive. That's the trouble with living in the foothills. No beach, no seagulls, lots of SNOW.

Well said!
