I'm not dead

Paul in Cannon Beach

Hey everyone,

I'm not dead... I'm just busy hiring 91 seasonal employees and filling some key full-time positions.

Hope all of you are doing well. I miss the forum interaction and hope to return soon when things slow down here.

We don't want to hear your excuses Paul! If you only knew what you've been missing. You have a lot of catching up to do. Say, Gillian isn't with you by chance, is he?

I've not known people to post their own obits before.

Welcome back Paul, tho I guess you're not really back. Oh, I get it, just like my kids when they were teenagers...barely checking in!

Anyhow I feel your pain. We've hired 233 people since the first of the year. Now the summer months are upon us, business is going to slow, and I don't even want to think what's next...

Hey Don,

You might know this already but a poll that surveyed what people fear listed public speaking number one and death number two.

So, speaking at your own funeral would be too frightening to imagine.

Seriously, though, I do miss all of you and I miss reading about other people's problems. They often make me feel better.

We are expecting in late June so the prospect of "free time" doesn't look promising at this point.

But its summer and I live at the beach so I better not complain!

Paul! I knew sooner or later you would pop in. But I have a question. What are "we expecting in late June"?

Hi Paul, Can I send some of my employees to you? Then you wouldn't have to work so hard at filling all of those positions. I've got quite a selection of folks that I would like to "recycle / share" with somebody else. Please oh please! Please say yes and I'll pay for the bus to bring you these people . . . . trust me.

Whatever

Where I come from, us of a certain age, read the obits in the paper first thing in the morning to make sure we're not listed.

Paul: Beware anyone from Wisconsin bearing gifts, especially free employees, transportation pre-paid. Trickery lurketh.

HEY! What gave me away . . . was it my earlier topic last week called "Convicts, Jailbirds and Delinquents"? Drats, I need to hang around with people who aren't quite so clever.
