Don't know if correct or not, but I considered this post an addendum to guidedspirits first post where he/she introduced him/herself to the forum. While the other was a first post, this one introduced depth and breadth of experience. Just my take …

Hmmm - the forum is better that 2 honeymoons? I must be doing something wrong. x;-)

Oddball? Probably. Dedicated professionals? Absolutely!

This whole thread reminds of a quote from some poker gurus that went something like this: "If you look around the table and don't recognize the sucker, you are probably it." I think that makes me the oddball in our family.

Wow, Whatever - that takes the cake. HRQ, our garbage guys in Nevada are hardly in the truck. They run alongside and wheel the cans to the back to deposit the contents in the back. These guys are above minimum wage, but not by much. I think they…

I call it customer service.x;-)

I am one of those who tips them during Christmas, but it is really recognition for the times they do more than our service agreement calls for. It isn't often, but I occasionally exceed the allowable number of bags and bins, and they always take ev…

Same thing happened to my wife and I when we got comped to one of his concerts in a (then) newly refurbished theatre in old-downtown St. Louis. We just stopped by to see the theatre and the manager gave us great seats on the aisle about 15 rows fro…

I don't know if this qualifies as the coolest gift, but for my wife, the gift "almost" does not matter, but the elegance of the wrapping does. This year I went to a Christmas Store and spent a bunch of $ for the right wrapping paper, matching lacy …

I am working too, but expect it to be a short day. Got some DVD's that I want to watch. My favorite will be the extended version of the second Lord of the Rings. I want to see it before I fight the lines to see the third. I hear it is excellent …

You two are not alone so please behave accordingly. Watch out for Ray, April Showers, I think this is his week to be the evil twin.x;-) I am out of here following a couple of more posts. Have a Merry Christmas.

Wow, great rate! Ours is 1.24 (shudder), but only 1 claim now in 18 months with a carrier looking to take us out of the pool, which will save us tons o dough. Merry Christmas mwild.

Don, sounds like some fun at your place. Good job remembering the garbage collectors. Most of ud don't. Often when I see the outrageous dollars we pay for entertainment (concerts, pro ball, etc), I get really ticked off about the out of balance n…

Beagle, I'm in, my pair of Aces puts me All IN! Oh wait, thats Texas Hold Em, what are we playing? I have a lot of family visiting and all but two of us are sick with some sort of bronchial thing. Coughing and hacking - so far, I have been waitin…

Those boys look like 2 handfuls. Bet they keep you busy. Great picture.

Our kids figured it out early. I could not bring myself to lie to them, so when they started asking questions, I told them truth: "Santa was in reality a very powerful being who could control the flow of time and travel at speeds unimaginable by m…

I can make it to AZ, although Lake Tahoe in the summer is fairly awesome.

Among your listings of pros and cons, do not forget to examine your company's relocations policies. Do they move you, even pack up your things? How about buying your existing house on the front end and putting you up on the back-end until you find…

Forumites have given you some great suggestions. Just a couple of additional comments/questions. Can you contact any of the former HR managers and get the lay of the land? You have already described some problems with the former dividsion preside…

Maybe they are proving that to be an 'expert' you must live in another state. Nothing like familiarity to breed contempt. Don't worry about Hilary. The way I hear it, she has already declared for 2008 and will soon be a problem for all of us. Oo…

Clark County is basically Las Vegas. I am North in Washoe County (Reno). IGT is based in Reno. Not really much of a voting machine controversy, but what little there is centers around having home based industry do it. I don't know how much of a …

We are currently having the voting machine debate (Nevada). Many are suggesting we should have the worlds largest slot machine mfg do them because they are so good at what they do. Plenty of oversight from the gaming board, a highly regulated indu…

Interesting story Slogan. But please, let's not relive the last election with stories about who really won or not. I can already see people getting ready to talk about Florida and it should be Gore's white house. It's over, another election is …

I sense the need for another forum folder designated for polictics. This should be an interesting election year, but I for one am not looking forward to having the forum 'politicized.' On second thought, maybe the Har de Har section is perfect.x;-…

Please remain at your keyboards, we know who you are and we are coming to get you.x;-)

mwild, I personally think you are being too hard on yourself. It is kind of funny how many of us are self-identifying as the culprits. Your comment about zest is ironic, cause I think the zest is one of the things that has made this forum so addi…

The pendulum swings back and forth. I suspect we will soon be exploring the edges of the envelop again. Your comments will likely resonate with a lot of us. I don't think of myself as too vitriolic, but I do get intense about some of the topics…

Great stuff, sounds like a lot of fun. Congratulations on finding someone to share the years with - 41 years together is a rare and wondrous gift. Great photo. Another proof that there is a life outside of HR.
-
Yikes! You just described me. Very funny stuff.

Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful setting. Notice how everyone always just naturally follow HR people everywhere. Leadership just happens!x;-)
