Moving around on purpose, eh? I should point out that I'M the one who mysteriously disappeared yesterday at the hands of your demon-software and I had to reinvent myself. How about that? Huh? Huh? x;-)
-
Yes. The software package that runs the program was designed by an infinite number of monkeys and does what it darn well pleases, including relocating people. Either that or the forum police enjoy moving us around for their own amusement. I found…

I just interviewed a candidate for an assistant mgr job at one of our properties who listed the fact she was a cheerleader. She still has that type of personality and the interview was tough to get through without gagging. I have a really tough ti…

I received a thank you card (via snail mail) from a candidate the other day and really do miss that personal touch -- but as a practical matter, I find email perfectly acceptable as a means of communicating and often send out followups, rejections, …

Awhile back, the Powers That Be in the person of James Sokolowski were offering free HR Hero T-shirts to anyone brave enough to submit their picture wearing the shirt, and several of us have taken them up on the offer. It all started with Paul fro…

Nice picture, Safety. Kind of reminds me of the guy with the pitchfork in American Gothic. x;-)

Oh, no! Careful, this thread is departing from the general silliness of the past few days and degenerating into USEFUL INFORMATION!!!!! x:o

>Piggot's Castle? Piggot's Castle (aka "Piggot's Folly") is a house in the west hills that was built by an eccentric guy in the late 1800s. There is not a straight line or a straight angle anywhere in the house - everything is either curved,…

1) Quit my job 2) Buy a Jag XJ (plus a spare for when the first breaks down) 3) Buy an airplane (nothing fancy - maybe a Piper) 4) Pay off all my debts 5) Give to some favorite charities a lot more than I've been able to in the past 6) Host an all-e…

I dunno, Ray. I credit my ex-wife (her mother) for the "minding" part. She was the most well-behaved, considerate, polite, thoughtful 5 year-old I had ever had the pleasure to raise (rear?). I still get father's day cards from her every year and …

Reading these posts makes me VERY grateful that I was able to avoid the infant stage with my stepdaughter -- didn't inherit her until she was potty trained, walking and talking and minding! x:-)

Hey, Ritzy. You're actually making Alabama weather start to sound GOOD!
-
Thanks for the laugh, HS. I have seen this before. Last year, I actually used some of these to wrap up my manager's conference seminar on performance appraisals. Got a big laugh from the managers. x:-)
-
Thanks, Rita. I was going to rename myself ParabeagleExtraordinaire, but I didn't want to give you any more ammunition than necessary, so I settled on Parabeagle1. x;-)
-
I know. Something almost Freudian about that, isn't there?
-
Got me, Ray. I have no idea. Went out of town for two days, interviewed a bunch of people, come back to Portland, get on line and find out I don't exist anymore! Talk about feeling insignificant and invisible! x:'( More than that, I don't even …

Must be a northern thing, Cathy. Most people I talk to up here who keep gushing over Krispy Kreme have spent time in the South, whereas most of the northerners I talk to just don't get it. x:-)

I think my favorite fast food restaurant has to be Milo's. Unfortunately, they're only located in AL and GA so I only get to go there a couple times a year. Love their fries dipped in Milo's Sauce and their toasted cheese sandwich. x:-) But, sinc…

Touche!

Be grateful that your personae only move around. Mine mysteriously disappeared. I had to be reborn. Don't know what will happen tomorrow. Haven't seen any HR Hero police around. Would I know them if I saw them? Are they humanoid? :-S

Not like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, is it?
-
Beagle buffoonery? That's catchy! x:-)
-
I didn't say I had a problem with it, RITZY! x;-) I was just curious, Ritzy -- inquiring minds want to know. Okay with you, Ritzy? x:-)
-
She brings up an interesting point, Ritaanz. Why have you been so defensive of us guys (we guys?) lately? Myself excluded, of course. Are you being bought and paid for by the Forum Mafia (Don D, Ray, et al). x;-)
-
Hey, Paul. Are you planning to go to the Oregon Employer Council's annual conference in Newport next month? You're just down the road from there.
-
I hear they know what causes that now, Anne. x;-)

You remind me a bit of my late father, Ray. "Don't throw that away! Coupons are money!"

Send your rain to Oregon. Yesterday we had our first taste of rain (about 15 minutes' worth) in 46 days! We're parched out here.

Make sure that attempts to bring the individual up to "lead" level are all documented and complete. Make sure that all the training and guidance he has received has been documented, as well as his inability to meet expectations for a lead employee.…

What is the source of the information? Is it an information pamphlet prepared by a nonpartisan group that merely lays out the provisions or does it take a position with regard to its passage? Would an employee PERCEIVE that the owners were adoptin…
