My birthday dinner this weekend got cancelled because we had 7" of snow. Yes, I'm ready for spring. :)

My parents are in Portland, Maine, and basically snow bound. Even with the snow blower attachment on the tractor, it takes my dad hours to clear the driveway, and he's running out of places to put the cleared snow. The streets are clear (they don't mess around in Maine), but it's still...

That's sad txls. Wish I had some advice for that one. cynthiag, one more thing I suggest, and I'm going to climb on my soapbox for a minute, so forgive me. Take the dog off any brand of dog food with GMO modified corn in it (which is most grocery store brands). I can't back up with any...

Had a diabetic dog for years who passed on and also a diabetic cat. For the cat we give him a little saucer of milk at shot time. He never notices the shot. Admittedly, my dog was much smaller, but chances are you are making a bigger deal of it (understandably) than it needs to be. Then...

Right-it's that line where she's too dressed up and overdoing it-and definitely too sexy for the environment. If this was the office in The Devil Wears Prada she'd be A+ but it's just too much here. I almost think it's easier to address someone dressing too slovenly than someone dressing up...

Well you were right about that. Yesterday was insanity. I'm already having buyer's remorse though. She seems intelligent enough to catch on, but the 2nd day she wore a rather revealing top, a skirt that was decent length but VERY tight, and hose that weren't actual fishnets, but with a...

After weeks of being insanely busy with me trying to cover the front desk, I've finally found a promising candidate. Today is her first day. So of course the phone is not ringing, there's hardly anything to do and the poor girl is bored out of her mind.

I'd agree with army judge. Ask if you can just get a written resignation for your files. Alternatively, send the relative something the employee can sign to make it as easy as possible.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Cynthia.

Does anyone have a good background check service at a reasonable cost, or tips on how to go about doing one? This is in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Also, does your company have more than 50 employees working within a 75 mile radius of this office and have all of these employees worked 1250 hours? If not, FMLA does not apply.

We have an employee who is 60 years old-he has a physically demanding job and is having many health issues, including severe obesity, back problems, etc. It is becoming more and more obvious he is no longer capable of doing his job. Pretty much he does the absolute minimum now, and sits in his...

Ugh. Just got a "I will be on vacation" message from a VENDOR and the person concluded with "Remember the reason for the Season, the birth of Jesus." That has no place in professional communication.

New copier supposed to be installed today. They forgot the piece that makes it fax...which was clearly listed in the contract and even on the guy's packing list, but simply not there. And they can't get it for several more days. So my new copier is currently making a nice floor decoration in...

I was in a wedding so I was off work, and dressed up in formal attire for the ceremony and later on, in Ren Faire clothing to party. It was a lot of hard work (I was carving pumpkins for table numbers and the bride and her maids were icing cookies for table favors at midnight the night before)...

I used to work for a boss with a serious Jekyll/Hyde personality and on Hyde days he was absolutely out of control-red faced, screaming, slamming doors, and using every four letter word you can think of. If someone accuses my of yelling now, I tell them I can show them what yelling really looks...

Health insurance should never have been tied to employment at all, and from the moment that started happening after World War II, the American health care system was doomed.

I have mental health. It's the maniacs around me that are the problem. :)

I can't figure it out either....

I write a note that says thank you or something like that and leave it on/in that so it's obvious.
