Puffins? OH - the birds?

Thanks for filling me in. I'm always a little behind. :>)

OK, I'm lost. What does Cannon Beach have to do with it?
-
Hahaha - thanks, both of you! Paul, you outed my secret goal. I think I can make it. Although, I never did get in on the HR Hero coffee mug or t-shirt, so I wouldn't be surprised to miss this by one stinkin' post . . .

I KNEW you were neat, and not just from your HR knowledge and insight. :>) You did get in on a doozy of a storm - I bet your kids had a ball. My aunt moved back this way a few years ago after living in the Phoneix area for several years, and I…

The thing about ultimatums, Paul, is that you have to be willing to back it up, or it doesn't work. For example, my husband told me not long after we were married that either my cats go or he goes. All are still here.

Yeah, Larry, did the docs take out your 10,000 gland along with that spur??? You know those are my favorite thing to read! :>) And that one is SO TRUE - each of the few MN lakes I have been to were mud. (Although isn't there one in downtown M…

There has to be some sort of cheesy "ships passing in the night" analogy to be made there. :>)

I can't even pick out one favorite. Each has its own gentle beauty and grace . . .

I swear I didn't look it up, but I was adding the price of 1 (20 cents) and 12 (40 cents) for 1-12. There's a better explanation, though - I know it. I just don't know what it is!
-
I think Linda is right on #4 - wrong way. I'll take a wild guess at #5 and say 60 cents, but I can't quite explain why. Speaking of DUH, I was going to go with Dime on #6! OH - #3 - was he a lighthouse operator and wrecked some ships by shutting …

>I've threatened to get a Prozac the size of a pancake and wear it around my neck so I can nibble on it all day. Two words: valium drip. We joke that it is included as part of our EAP. :>)

I was waiting for just such an invitation to jump in!!! Quantity over quality is my specialty.

Larry, would that be St. Hank, the patron saint of Peeps? Or is he the patron saint of 10,000 ways to get back at your city diversity director? I forget which . . .
-
I thought the exact same thing as Abby - the Easter bunny isn't Christian! Well, I take that back - he could be, but his practice certainly isn't religous. Take heart, Larry, the Twins will soon be giving everyone 10,000 other things to talk about…

Here's one version - There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was asked to do it. But Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about it because it was Everybody's …

I went to bed early, but my husband stayed up and cheered for the Big XII. I was glad to see they "represented". :>) Also glad to hear you celebrated - these things don't come around that often and they're a lot of fun.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-30-05 AT 10:44AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I think it depends on what you're doing. At my day job of building aerospace parts (OK, hiring people to do so), if we do have a mission statement, we don't reall…

I'm one of those people, so I'll bite - is it a pot reference?
-
I am thoroughly amused by the indication that "HR" and "reality" are mutually exclusive. x:D
-
Oh, this hits too close to home! We made a pretty good offer to an engineer straight out of college with zero experience. He countered with a request for $5k more salary. We said thanks but no thanks, and he panicked because he thought "that's ho…

I've typed up two explanations that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone but me. When I met my cow-farmer husband, I described myself to him as a tree-hugging, VW-driving, calico-cat-owning, long-haired Catholic granola girl who prefers to wear l…

Three out of my four cars since turning 16 have been diesel VWs. The first two (84 Rabbit and 00 Jetta) averaged 43 MPG. My new one (05 Jetta) averages about 38-40 MPG. When I was in high school, I remember paying 88 cents per gallon for diesel. …

La Ruta Maya! I spent a month on it a few years ago. Awesome sights. I carefully avoided some of the local cuisine, though - "hay algo sin carne?" Hopefully they considered bugs as meat and didn't slip me any. A friend of mine had the cricket t…

I bet you'll see the decision sooner rather than later. Is that bruise considered work comp? :>) If only they all were that easy . . .
-
Sure he did. Myself, I have all sorts of e-mail files so I can find things quickly and keep my inbox from nearing the overwhelming level.

I talked to him last week via e-mail - had a question on paying travel time that was mostly covered doing a forum search but wanted to clarify something that differed slightly from something Pork had posted. For those of you who are wondering and i…
