Yikes! :eek: We're going through our insurance renewal right now and I must remind myself to be grateful that we only have 110 benefits eligible employees.

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to say "You know, reading & comprehension are a very vital part of your job. If you are unable to read and comprehend the documents that I send you (which I generally "dumb down" to begin with) then obviously you are unable to perform your job, in...

I agree! Seems like that happens every time we have a major thing that I have to send out to everybody. The ones I really love are the ones who, when I follow up on WHY I didn't get back a read receipt from them, say "Oh, I didn't have time to read it and I figured you'd contact me about it and...

I am appalled when I remember how short I used to wear my dresses back in my late teens. I know it was the fashion back in the early 70's, and I had the figure for it back then, but when I think about the contortions it took just to get out of a car in dresses that short and stay at least...

That really snuck up on me this year...one week it was full-on summer and light until after 9 p.m. and it seemed like just a few days later it was getting dark by 8 p.m. and the leaves had started falling. Our weather is beautiful right now, but there's definitely a fall-ish feeling in the air...

Agreed with the others. I would definitely change the wording of the policy, and since she had already had it explained to her the first time, I wouldn't accept it as an excuse for doing it a second time. I guess I'm pretty jaded after all my years of doing HR, but I find that asking...

As my husband says, "that's their job!" (That doesn't always go over so well with the people dealing with said 4-year-olds, however! :) )

I've accidentally clicked on that one also, and was surprised that it was still up and people could still post. Maybe they just wanted to get rid of all of us! :)

I'm so glad somebody else caught that typo (or mentioned it, anyhow). :)

Definitely non-exempt.

I know, I went to change the page on my desk blotter calendar today and realized that I hadn't changed it since May. I've been so busy I pretty much completely lost the months of June and July!

We had a great time berry picking, except that somebody else had come along and picked all the huckleberries earlier in the day. We did get a few blueberries, it was funny because she kept looking at them and saying "wow, that's a lot of berries!" There were only about enough to fill up...

I can honestly say that one thing we've never had here is a drought. A drier year than normal for us is still pretty wet! We've had such a good balance of rain and sunshine this summer that right now the wild blueberries and other kinds that grow around here are going crazy. I was walking the...

Sounds lovely, Betty. We're having much the same today with temps in the high 70's predicted for next week. Warm for us, but certainly not as warm as your 100+ degree temps last year. I don't do well in temps above about 80, but this year I'm just thankful that we've actually had some...

I've ridden in a dump truck my husband was driving before, so using that logic I should be qualified to drive one, right?! :D

Yay, I just didn't look far enough when I looked on there!

The most recent post I see from him on there was last November.

I love it when we get those "wouldn't hurt to give it a try" types of calls or applications. I remember one, we were advertising for a position that had some very specific requirements about computer experience and expertise, and we got an application from a person who had never done anything...

So sad. I'll be thinking of the family.

Just got back from taking a week off. I attended my 40-year high school reunion....I am just not old enough to have been out of school that long! It was interesting, we had some classmates who must've led really rough lives because they look a good 10 or 15 years older than they actually are...
