Paul, you got that right. I don't normally watch a lot of golf, but the U.S. Open was as good as it gets. The only bad thing is that it didn't end on Sunday. I wasn't able to watch the playoff yesterday, but it sounds like it just kept getting bette…

Paul, if you change your mind and try out, I hope you make it onto the show. Don't forget to wear your HR Hero Tribal Buff to all immunity challenges and tribal councils. thx tk

Let's hope so! tk

Sorry about that! We replaced a computer server over the weekend, which apparently caused the problems you encountered. More details can be found in a note that I posted earlier this morning in the "How to Use Employers Forum" area. I hope everythin…

Paul, if you say our initials real fast ("MLSP"), it may remind you of the annual awards given out by a four-letter TV sports network. tk

Business casual is the norm, but you won't get kicked out of the meetings for wearing jeans. If you're a Forumite, please find me (probably at the registration table both mornings) so I can say hello. As far as networking with other Forumites is con…

If they do Kid Nation 2, it probably won't be in New Mexico, where the first one was filmed, because new state child labor laws likely would block the way. New Mexico Employment Law Letter has written about the situation. Search the newsletter archi…

1: Definitely (a), amusement. Been lol this morning. 2: Extracurricular fun here? I wish. Whenever everyone else is having fun, that's when we must work the hardest. Today, for example, with the threat that the twins joined at the hip from the Show …

You'd be surprised how much time it takes to don and doff that heavy HR Shield each day. tk

Oops, Paul, sorry I wasn't watching this thread very closely. I had cut back on making the rounds because I heard that you were going to be on vacation! tkessler

My oldest daughter and I are huge fans of the race, but it's been tough to get very excited about it this week, with two stage winners, including the yellow-jersey wearer, getting kicked out of the race just a few hours after they stood on the podiu…

I watched CBS' missing-bee report last night, the first installment in a new series that the network is calling "Saving the World." Hmmm. If the reporter's work is really going to save the world, maybe they should have aired the segment in the newsc…

Speaking of news alerts, over the weekend I noticed that the promos for tonight's (5/7/07) CBS Nightly News promise a report on the missing bees. tk

Having trouble finding a restaurant that'll seat you, the spouse, and your party for the rehearsal dinner? Quite coincidentally, today's Chicago Sun-Times has a big article on more and more local restaurants catering to people and their pets. It doe…

Nae, watering your lawn should do the trick (i.e, guarantee that you'll get that much-needed rain). I washed my car yesterday evening, and a big (20-minute) rainstorm just rolled through! tk

As Anne pointed out, most of each HR Insight issue will be interesting, relevant news that you can use. But it definitely won't be all work and no fun. Like the short article that SDDCHR has pulled out and reprinted (truth in lending: we originally …

celeste, Here's a possibility that might take you just about four hours. Paris, which is halfway between Russellville and Fort Smith, is also about 30 miles south of Altus, Arkansas. Altus has several wineries (and tasting rooms) that you could tour…

Leslie, If you could talk your significant other into keeping the business open 24-7, you could call it, "Rock Around the Clock." tk

Christy, If you can come back into the office this afternoon and help answer the phones for the Don-a-Thon (see Margaret's new posting in this Har-de-HR-HR section), we'll change Cole's diapers. tk
