You've all given me an idea. I might try to discourage those bothersome telemarketer/promotional calls by suggestion an exchange of services: Our organization's for theirs. Of course, since I work in State Corrections, my offer would consist of f…

When my two girls were little (too many long years ago, now--I'm like DonD, eager always for their phone calls), from birth until about age 9 and 7 they knew their daddy with a full beard. Then, on my 40th birthday I celebrated by cuting it off whi…

>The success to me is to find what makes you happy!> I'm with Don; your story is truly wonderful. You have not only achieved "success" on the career ladder, but, better yet, you've found your own true calling -- by which your success has bee…

>Dang, did I just out-type Don??????? No, I think Don still holds the record; but you certainly show promise!!

Very true. That's why many of us in HR, who didn't originally track via academia into our careers, have been able to be successful in our field of endeavor. We brought our diverse work and life experiences into a career field which recognizes, val…

Congratulations seem in order. Welcome to this distinguishing profession.

Ditto everything Don just stated!! This occupation IS what we make it. The same can't be said for many others -- I'll bet one of Don's deep-fried turkeys on that!! x:9

I think you've the makings for a great novel here!! What a strange road into HR for you!! I especially like your "confidentiality" experience.

>it's all up hill both directions. For some reason, this is really heard to imagine! Seems your route is more like a teeter-totter, than a road.

>When I did this at my last company, they thought I was completely insane for biking 25 miles to work. I can't say "completely" first came to mind, but....

I used to to drive 19 miles and it took me from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the time of day. I've since moved to the rural side of the state and now my drive is all of 2 miles. Consequently, I've gotten spoiled waiting till the last minute …

>The other day on the way to work I was stuck behind an accident and I looked out my window and saw dolphins swimming in the ocean. No wonder there was an accident! Can't someone keep those critters off the highway?

>But, in case it does not work for you, you have already explained to us that you love to sleep in a tent! Isn't this where the hot tub idea gets into the act? ....who was that unmasked man?

What about that earlier commitment? -- the one taking you out of town on that same date!!? How unfortunate you'll have to miss your CEO's event, but aren't you already committed to this other thing? x;-) _________________________________________…

So far, "Endlessly" here has made the best marketing presentation. Although, I don't relish the desert critters all that much, the weather at least sounds ideal! For my money, I think I'd prefer it up north of there just a ways -- Flagstaff, that …

...or consider coming to the great Northwest. Here you can avoid both snow and humidity. The only inconveniences we have are: volcanos, perpetual rain (that's why we're so green), floods, earthquakes, Cowboys and Indians, wild animals such as bla…

>Remember the old 70's quote "you are what you eat." Apparently, you haven't heard the revised version: "You are what you 'read!'" (Consider yourself warned...).

...it was The Rascals, and they even did a television special on the Leslie Gore show once (way back when) where they sang the song exactly that way--"...you and me and LESLIE". You weren't alone, obviously!

My 10-foot pole wasn't long enough. Sorry, Paul!

Not here. Don't get me wrong; I am proud of the work I do, but if I were to spend the extra $$ for vanity plates, I think I'd do something a little more personally gratifying than advertise only the working role of who I am. Maybe something like …

Thanks Christy, Once again you've provided your forum friends with sound information; and, additionally, I now have another fascinating website resource to explore! Let's see....... Hmmm. What about that Glurge Remedy?
