  • P.S. We still host the Redwing convention. They were here last summer. Here, there and everywhere! We chatted with members on several occassions at restaurants. They are a really neat group of people!

  • I work about five minutes west of New Haven in Fort Wayne. Yes, they certainly sell beer there. I may offend my co-workers from New Haven, but I would guess most people go into Fort Wayne for entertainment. It's about 15 minutes to the downtown area…

  • Believe it or not, I did. But was laughing while I did it. I wasn't going to ask him to, because someday, when he least expects it, and I get him back "real good" I don't want to have to clean up HIS mess!!!! Must be the HR in me, always trying to k…
  • A co-worker pulled this on me several months ago. The ceiling fan in my office is hooked up to the light switch. I entered my office early one morning and turned on the light. The fan blades had all been loaded with hundreds of paper clips, which be…
  • I don't get to many "motivational" seminars, but just read a two books by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles, "Gung-Ho" and "Whale Done" that are both terrific. Very light and easy reading (they each only take 2-3 hours to read). Lots of little common…
  • About five years ago while on a business trip to Nashville, Reba McIntyre sat down to dinner right next to our table. She happily agreed to have her picture taken with us. She is even more beautiful in person than in the media. Her smile actually li…
  • I have tears running down my face. Thanks for the wonderful belly-laugh. (I guess I'm like Parabeagle - I just let my laughter roar!) It is Friday afternoon and I am just wrapping things up for a week-long, much desired vacation. Your post was absol…
  • We, too, have lots of geese because of a large pond in our backyard. I've heard (but haven't tried) that if you blow up a large inflatable alligator toy and anchor it in the corner of the pond, they won't come around. What does work is similiar to S…
  • I am a Taurus through and through. April 29th. I share my special day with one of my best friends and such greats as Andre Agassi, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld, Duke Ellington, William Randolph Hearst and my husba…
  • I, too, have a fish in my office. It was given to me as a joke because my office at the time had large glass windows on three sides and I always said I felt like I was in a fish bowl. (Not a very good office for private, confidential HR meetings!). …
  • I also frequently get calls from some "EEOC" office asking if I want to reprint our equal employment statement in their publication. I always tell them to fax me what they currently have. Although I almost never hear from them because they are bogus…
  • Unfortunately I have been too busy to spend as much time on the forum as I would like. I just noticed the posting from jmcaa that is very similar to my question. I guess I should have looked first!!!!
  • I guess I should have provided more background info...We conducted a survey (outside consultant so confidentiality was totally protected)15 months ago. Once the results were compiled and returned to us we initially held an employee luncheon to discu…
  • Hi Dixied. I went to that sight yesterday, but was unable to open the statements because I am not a member of SHRM. I tried some other general searches and found some ideas. Thanks for your suggestion though!
  • Thanks for your responses. Don, I totally agree with what you're saying. In my case, however, I have one individual working for me that processes our payroll. I am, in essence, the "department"; therefore I do not have the luxury of brainstorming wi…
  • I attended the same seminar in November. National Seminars Group is affiliated with Rockhurst University out of Kansas City, MO. The speaker I had was a Mr. Bernhart (I can't remember his first name). He was an incredible speaker and kept things liv…
  • Hi Stilldazed. Where did you get the information to do the confirmation check through the SSA EVS system? Thanks!
  • I would also appreciate a copy of your retention guidelines. Please send them to [email]ded54@yahoo.com[/email]. Thanks so much!
  • Thank you all for your responses and guidance. To make what could be a long story short, his manager and I spoke with him again this morning. After a lengthy discussion (primarily him talking) the discussion again began to get very "bizare" and he a…
  • You are correct Sonny. We do NOT have an EAP. No, his performance does not suffer at all so I cannot address it from that angle. His attendance is also excellent, so that rules that out also. He also does not cause problems with his manager or co-wo…
