HRQ, I hope that once you realize this thread is more civilized and populated with decent people, you will remain here. Besides, if you stay, there is a bonus for you in your next sidekick paycheck.
HRQ, I find that communicating psychopathicly can actually be more entertaining and people tend to react to you quicker than with telepathy. Of course then it can draw others to conclude that you could be psychosomatic which could lead to psychotropic therapy..man I gotta stop with the psycholinguistics! My therapissed warned me about this.
Jitrbug, you obviously have some deep seated psychological problems based on the fact you do not conform to the standardized method of posting as evidenced that you make it so easy to read your posts. So how often is your therapissed?
I kind of like Jtrbug's thoughtfulness. Some of us could learn from that. Not me, though. Ray a either - as evidenced by his use of at least twice the number of words needed to make his point.
Why are none of us outside enjoying this beautiful day? I think it's time for me and my boys to ride our bikes to the park down the street.
Well, just as soon as I finish keying all these open enrollment forms, anyway. I finally broke down and asked my broker to find out what our online enrollment options are for future OE's, even if it costs us money. I can't take this anymore.
Ray, my therapissed gets that way by the end of every session, I can't understand why, I can't understand why, I can't understand why. Also, I'm thinking most will miss my messages since they are programmed to automatically scroll over to the right. Only the wise ones can figure out my secret decoding plan.
HRQ, it's been snowing here for the past hour so I don't think I'll be going to the park today but I'm sure our St. Pat's day parade has been interesting! Amen on the data entry, we made the decision a couple of years ago that it was worth our time to pay them to do it! Anyway, I just love working weekends!!!
It's high time for us too. There are two of us in HR and 650 employees, with what to most companies is very high turnover, although it's pretty typical for our industry. My asst is plenty busy with payroll and all her other duties, so I'm handling benefits solo right now.
Around 25% of our staff have access to the internet outside of work and we just don't have the facilities to provide them access at work without disrupting business. (We operate 28 preschools, each with one computer at the front desk that can access the internet. The computer's usually tied up with day-to-day business.)
Still, if just 25% of them keyed their own enrollment stuff, this would be so much better.
Wah wah wah. Just about time for me to quit whining go play in the sun. At least I don't have to shovel snow! We've been in the high 90's all week. x:D
This thread should be re-named as "This is the thread that will never be interesting".
My thought is that the military should be notified that your ceaseless patter would be an effective method of non-physical torture for suspected Al Queda agents at Guantanamo Bay.
"Its cold here." "Well, its snowing here as well." "Today is open enrollment." "Really? Ours is in November" "Well ours is right now"
"AUGGH!! ENOUGH!! I will tell you everything you want to know of our evil terrorist schemes if you will only MAKE IT STOP!!!"
I wish someone would start a more interesting thread. Something similar, but better. If only we had an idea for one.....
And you forgot to mention that it is warm and sunny in Tempe. (Well, Avondale, really, since I'm at home. I can only guess it's warm and sunny in Tempe. I'll let you know on Monday.)
They don't tell him about it. They figure it's easier to just force the task on some other poor defenseless department, rather than listen to him whine about the mundane parts of the job. He wants everything to be all exciting and stuff.
Open enrollment is all kinds of fun. I even use colored paperclips, and once, I used rainbow tinted staples. Seriously, everyone wanted to work in my department that year. I rock like that.
And if I could get the Emotion Icon Shortcuts link to work, I'd make the "rolling eyes" smiley for your enjoyment.
And speaking of Paul's incessant whining, can anybody point out where he has said anything of erudite value?
HRQ, it appears the emoticon function has been disabled along with the HTML Reference link. Must be all Paul's fault. He probably whined to James that the emoticons and different font colors were too sissified and demanded they be disabled. And James probably gave in to his hissy fit. Afterall, we all know that whatever Paul wants, he gets.
How can they have a rainbows and puppies thread and not make it easy for us to use the emoticons? They can't expect us to just REMEMBER how to make them, after having had access to the shortcut for what, five years now? I can only remember three: x:-) , x;-) and x:D
Now I'm forced to be more colorful with words and stop relying on the little smileys. I'm doomed.
So when is YOUR open enrollment? (I'm resuming with Paul's torture...)
We're probably going to cancel open enrollment. No one here ever needs to change anything, since I make sure their choices are perfect the first time. When we announce our annual benefits additions, I just go ahead and give them to everyone free, which saves them a great deal of time and allows them to spend it in gloriously productive ways. Is it any wonder no one ever quits or retires from here? Although, I did have to give a hint of a verbal warning the other day... WAY too much bickering about which employee is honored by washing and waxing my car this week. Well, actually it wasn't verbal at all... I just kinda smiled in that "you know you shouldn't fight with each other but everyone here's so darned cute I know we'll all be bestest friends again after our EAP-provided chair massages" sort of way. Thank goodness I'm not in Texas!
Since you have all that free time, come on over and make my benefits package perfect. I'll even pay for your airfare. Maybe even fight someone to wash you rcar. x:D

>thread that will never be interesting".
Wow another thing Paul and I agree on. ;-)
My thoughts exactly.
Blessings.
Unless, of course, you MEANT to say caffeine-free cokes all around.
I need a steady stream of caffeine entering my system throughout the day or I get cranky.
