    It's funny, I refer to myself (proudly) as the "Anti-HR guy" in HR because I spent nearly 25 years working in warehousing both here and at my previous job. I think that's allowed me to keep a good pulse/relationship with the people here that truly matter...the ones that get shit done. So many people in HR are clueless about what's really important to the blue collar folks because they never lived in that world. I did. My career changed after I was here, married, raising my family and THEN I decided to go back to school while doing all of that. My HR career only dates back to 2015. I think I strike the perfect balance of holding the line but also being a voice for the people. I honestly love what I do. 

    sounds solid brother. Unfortunately its not always that way. New managers come in and wanna show their testicular fortitude. when they try and make guys look bad, I am always pleased to show them they're wrong. LOL last month i was called in about to get written up because i called a manager out. He was smiling until i dropped the company policy book on the table and said where is the section that says this is for hourly employees only? HR guy looked funny and said that book is for everyone :sizzle: ended up back firing on the new manager and he got a verbal warning for breaking policy. The young fella's master degree didn't help him with that battle.

    I'm for the people :thumbsup:

    Part of my job in regards to corrective actions is having 1X1 meetings with employees who violate what's essentially our code of conduct. It amazes (okay, saddens) me how many people in society today have lost the ability to treat others well. It isn't hard. If you don't have something nice to say, shut your mouth and walk the other way. I think the ability to hide behind a keyboard has emboldened people to say things they would have never said face to face prior to the internet/cell phone use. 

    I'm glad i don't work for you, I'm an HR nightmare :whistle:I don't do well with assholes. You know the ones, they have the "Dicktim" disease. where  they act like a dick. then act like a victim about it. And BTW i have an impeccable employment file, spotless :guitar:.

    Stephen...I am truly proud of you. Welcome to the "no heat" team. Although, it's time for a confession - 

    I might have turned my heat on last night when I went to bed. :( It was already down to 60 in the house and I was getting looks from my wife...

    WHAT? Wait until i get home and tell my daughter the godfather crashed

    Correct. My original post had emotion as I hate to see someone from a local team cross boundaries. There was a lot going on and my comment shouldn't have been so one-sided. 

    There's been ongoing debate for years on the role that athletes play when it comes to visible behavior. Some don't like the idea of being a role model. Well, much like my 3 year old granddaughter watches and listens to every move and word that Pappy makes, athletes likewise are viewed under the same lens. Like it not, a whole lot of kids of all ages have Carter jerseys that they wear and behavior such as last night's tarnishes the image for many. 

    no your post was good brother. I agreed and still do. i was just pointing out more video evidence

    Disgusting behavior tonight by Jalen Carter. And to cap it off he laughed at himself. Most people in most jobs get fired for that kind of stuff. I hope he gets suspended for a long time. 

    Just saw video, Prescott spit first, but he spit down a Carters feet and gave a shit eating F you smile. He should be tossed too

    agreed. Absolutely no call for that. Total disregard for his team/teammates. how many millions of kids saw that last night? Its not ok. They should make an example of him. 

    Heading to PSU tomorrow. what i thought was going to be a nice day, looks like i continue my streak of rain games :whistle:

    A cool August is a blessing.

    I do understand why some dont like it if they are beach goers.  It isnt quite the best beach weather.

    i would have taken this in July when i was at the beach. Instead of it being hotter then a witches tit in a brass bra

    CTP mentioned this morning that the SE counties will see Heat Indexes approach 100 today...the criteria for an advisory being issued is over 100. I suspect that the LSV will see advisories tomorrow and Wednesday. 

    Also - they used the words "fall like weather" when looking ahead to the end of the week. :)  

    will make for a fun walk this afternoon

    Pretty good.

    I've been seeing a lot of specialists and undergoing a lot of tests. Most everything I've had done to this point has come back favorably. I do have a heart issue, likely hereditary that will need to be addressed at some point. Mainly due to that, I've (we including my wife) have made some significant dietary changes. Today marks exactly 2 months since I first went into the ER (just realized that as I write this) and over the past 60 days I've lost 27 pounds and I feel SO much better. Back to the heart, the issue that will need addressed is my aortic valve, the good news is that it's in much better shape than originally feared. I was originally diagnosed with "moderate stenosis" but after further testing, blood work, etc. it is now considered "minimal." 

    My recent blood work and vitals were probably the best numbers I've had since I was a young adult. BP is fantastic, Cholesterol is good. I probably exercise slightly more than I did prior to all of this but just changing what I put into my system is paying off. I can't stress enough how important it is to eat good, healthy foods. Veggies, nuts, fruits...and lean meats. No eating after supper. No, or very little in the way of sugary drinks.

    It matters. 

    Sorry for late reply, i wasn't on until now. Sounds like you're on the mend. Glad to hear. Diet is key, along with exercise. i have found that Good supplements is a bonus in addition to diet and exercise. I'd rather take supplements the pharmaceuticals.

    I'd like to see a 30 minute shower this afternoon with any of the stuff you guys are talking about nowhere close to me. 

    i don't want a shower, or severe. I'd like to finish mowing after the Senators game...... Please and thank you
