Our vacation policy bases it on date of hire. After six months of employment the employee gets five vacation days. At the one year anniversary the employee gets ten vacation days. It remains at ten days until five years of employment (goes to fif…

Chari-- I'm going to have to try this. One of my fondest childhood memories is the fresh, hot applesauce my Mom made with apples from our tree. She used a food grinder of some sort, so it wasn't chunky, but now that I'm older I don't care if it's …

A couple of weeks ago my 13 year old was worried that when he's at batting camp next week his hands will be cold on the metal bat. We reminded him this is Florida, and it could 75 degrees. Little did we know.... On another note, 17 years ago we di…

I still miss the smell of leaves burning in the fall. Nobody bagged their leaves for garbage collection. We burned them and no one thought about us polluting the environment. That smell meant fall had arrived. In the summer my friends and I would…

SMoll-- If it makes you feel any better, my family keeps asking if I'm water-logged yet from what northeast Florida has gotten from the storms. I keep telling them it's a real good thing I grew up on the good old Eastern Shore so my feet are alread…

My story actually starts a couple of years ago. During our holiday production of the Nutcracker ballet, a spokesperson for our corporate sponsor walked out on stage to give opening remarks and went about one step too far--onto the mesh over the orc…

Okay--so it's not my imagination? I see her too....

I'm rooting for the Marlins. I was raised on Baltimore Orioles baseball, which means I always root for the Orioles or whoever is playing the Yankees.

Something I did a few years ago here in the office--it's a little bulky but fun. I was a basket of laundry. I took an old laundry basket, cut out the bottom and made suspenders with rope. Pinned articles of clothing to it and tied a tube sock arou…

I was one of the Cratchitt children in a 4th classroom performance of The Christmas Carol, the teacher in our 10th grade thespian production of Splendor in the Grass, and the lead character's friend in a play I have totally forgotten the name of (!)…

I try to do something fun for our administrative staff once a month. We have only about 20-25 admin. so it is fairly manageable. We celebrate birthdays each month with a cake, and in addition we've done pot luck lunches (just had one today as a far…

Ah the days of playing outside from sun up until after dark. Once it was dark we stayed outside catching lightning bugs. (Hey--a science lesson!) No one worried about mosquitoes--the bites were a nuisance but everyone was covered with them. Some …

Gin. Too many Tom Collins' in college. It's been over 25 years and I still can't stand the smell of gin. And it is definitely the gin because I have no problems with a Vodka Collins. My husband has no idea what it takes for me to fix him a gin &a…

I was on vacation for two weeks and am still trying to get caught up on everything--including the HR Forum. Favorite fast food? Popeye's chicken is good but it's their biscuits that are my real weakness. We used to have a Checkers 3 blocks from our …

My favorites are Reese's Cups and Nestle Crunch bars. I have to admit, though, I look forward to my children getting Mary Janes at Halloween so I can have a few. When I was a kid for some reason that was the only time I ate them, so I associate th…

>Does anybody else know the origin of the term "Rule of Thumb"? > Doesn't it have something to do with setting a standard for a measurement that was based upon the lenght of the king's thumb?

She is beautiful! Such a precious bundle--I want to hold her! Enjoy every minute because it really does go by so fast....

I'd be lying on the beach in Henlopen, Delaware soaking up the sun and reading a good mystery. The beaches here in Jacksonville, FL just aren't the same--too built up and the sand is hard. Guess I'll just have to settle for looking at the picture …

I wish I had read this yesterday! My daughter was telling everyone goodnight last night and she was very confused when I said Goodnight Jim-Bob. It was bad enough I felt old having to explain to her about the Waltons, but then I couldn't remember …

I love cooking (I collect cookbooks, so I would be glad to add another to my collection) and enjoy trying new recipes of any type. In my family, though I'm known for my desserts. Especially my chocolate chip pie and fudge batter pudding cake. I'd…

I will admit to having complaints about the grocery chain where I used to shop--and that is the operative phrase. I no longer shop there for many of the same complaints already listed in this posting. Plus I would frequently find perishables still…

Okay--you all are going to hate me for this but I can't think of anything I hate about the grocery store. I usually go early on a Saturday morning within the first hour they are open, so I have the day ahead of me to do whatever I want or to get my …

I completely agree! My hours are supposed to be 8:30 to 4:30. I come in early, nearly always work through lunch, rarely leave at 4:30, and often take work home with me. When I do leave at 4:30 (usually to get a child to an activity) I get "the lo…

I updated mine, does that count?

Enough about cheese. I'd kill for a Moonpie right now!

Hey! That's me you're talking about with the masters degree in costume design. And it taught me to be tactful--you have to be when you're measuring someone so big around the waist you're not sure the 60" tape measure will do it! Anyway--got a BA i…

I drive about 7 miles each way. It takes about 15 minutes in the morning on a good day, excluding the time dropping off my 9-year old at school, and usually a little longer in the afternoon. A bad day is when traffic comes to a halt while I'm at …

He must be in hiding because of the Super Bowl results. Boy, if the Raiders' center wasn't depressed before the game, he sure must have been afterwards!

franfields-- Your "roving receptionist" -- I think she used to work for me. The concept of sitting at the reception desk to answer phones and greet customers (not to mention do some other actual work on a computer)was something she just could not g…
