  • I've always suspected that I was a transplanted New Yorker, minus the accent and the fact that I've never lived there x;-) Gillian 3, you're right, life redirected after HR - I like it. In that case, it will probably have something to do with teac…
  • Life after HR? In trying to imagine what that would be like for myself, I think all it would leave me qualified to do is sit on park benches, tossing bread crumbs to birds and muttering to myself. x;-) Good luck to you!
  • Gillian 3 - you have to get a subscription to the forum - your post was wonderfully written. x:-)
  • "My SO and I were sitting on our front porch chatting away when out of the blue he gazes longingly at one of these machines and sighs "you know I really want to drive that thing". WHY???? As far as I can see it is an awkward, clumsy device that does…
  • I vote for Colombia - Starbucks just raised their rates x:-)
  • I remember staying at home specifically to watch Colin Powell address the UN with our gathered intelligence in support of action against Iraq. I was disappointed that there wasn’t an abundance of satellite photos in the presentation and instead, to…
  • Here's why private emails don't work, from Don D to my private email box: "I had exactly nine private mails following your post and all of them said precisely the same thing, that the only reason you're jumping around now pretending to like some 'n…

  • See Don, exactly what I mean. You can't just state opinion you always have to take it a step further. To say, "Nobody's around now with the balls to challenge you." or that I'm "one of the few who run tattling to the alert button when something di…
  • Oh brother! Who around here doesn't know about the alert button and the possibility that it will be used? If you don't know or didn't know, well now you do.
  • I'm sorry you feel that way Leslie, I'll miss your posts, but I respect your decision and others to not continue with the forum. I'll keep on because I like the change.
  • Personally, I like the new direction the forum has taken in the past week or so. I also like the alert button that M. Lee Smith provides. I don't agree that it should be okay to simply state whatever you want and not face some sort of repercussion…
  • This happened a couple of years ago. I worked as an HR manager for a company that owned several gas stations - you know the monster ones where there are tv's at every pump, a convenience store, a car wash, a lube and fast food restaurants. The fas…
  • I didn't get it until I plugged W's name into it x;-)
  • I've watched this debate transpire since it began last week and I've almost written something three times. I say almost because I kept self-editing my responses as being too inflamatory and deleted my responses before I hit the submit button. Quit…
  • don't worry, it will die down soon enough. For awhile, Parabeagle and Ray were spreading rumors I was actually Don D. Obviously not the case as Don's way smarter than me, but I bet I'm better lookin'. x:-)
  • smarty pants! x:-)
  • A baker's dozen. Origin is: In the Middle Ages in England there were severe penalties for anyone who gave short weight. Bakers were often uneducated and unable to count. To guard against miscounting twelve as eleven they habitually gave thirteen l…

  • Wow! A math problem I was actually able to do! I even recognize the answer - thank goodness. x:-)

  • General employment and labor law was it for me, then Har-de-har-har. Although, please don't take offense folks, I've been skipping the "story" as it is becoming harder to keep track of the storyline. I do however enjoy the thread where you post yo…
  • Actually, I hate gondolas too - I was in Venice about 9 years ago, during the month of August, took a ride in one through the canals - man, it was about as romantic as taking a slow boat ride in a giant toilet bowl. Burned me on gondolas forever.

  • Ditto to you HRSage - I followed your story. x:-)
  • Hi Paul, I love the idea & want to participate, but I'm unsure what the story line is - it seems to be all over the place. Could you go in & recap?

  • It's our CEO, Mr. Ho. Suddenly everything starting to make sense to me. Mr. Ho was the one who originally asked for the non-frat. policy about a year ago & now wants to circumvent that policy with the addition of Ima Hogg, a.k.a. "Bubbles". W…
