Let's face it, with a title like that, you have to read this article. Since beauty is subjective, I'd say this will be a hard one to win. But man, how funny.

How to speak HR
Want to test your skills at translating HR speak into plain English? Read this article and try to process it as someone in HR would.
What did you come up with? The dude was canned, or more accurately, he was given the opportunity to resign BEFORE they canned him. Did you get that?
Below are the things that give it away to an HR person and why:
"He submitted his resignation Monday and Friday will be his last day at One Southern Indiana"
Two weeks' notice is minimum for any job. A month or more for this position wouldn't be unusual.
"Dale Gettelfinger, secretary of the One Southern Indiana Board, said he was surprised to learn about Wassmer’s resignation at a regular board meeting Thursday morning."
If this was a normal resignation, there'd be no reason you wouldn't pass it on as soon as it happened, i.e. he probably didn't actually resign Monday. That's just the cover story.
"Wassmer’s departure was handled by a small group of board members, including board chairman Vaughan Scott, and other board members were told only that the CEO is leaving for personal reasons, Gettelfinger said."
If it's a normal resignation, there's no need to "handle" it. You just pass along the info. If all you tell people, especially board members, is "personal reasons", this is damage control for sure.
"Scott said the resignation has nothing to do with a lawsuit filed against the Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, which Wassmer led before being hired in Indiana on Oct. 31."
Say it with me, "Riigghhtt"
"The lawsuit has been dismissed but was widely reported."
They settled the matter out of court with a nondisclosure clause. Happens all the time.
"Wassmer said he doesn’t have a job in Owensboro but has some ideas to pursue. "
You supposedly gave 4 days notice AND you don't have a job? Yep, you got axed.
Here's some more information on the original lawsuit. I love how he says the fact that the lawsuit was filed on Monday and he resigned on Tuesday aren't related. A lady at work said he took the trip with his girlfriend and his wife divorced him shortly thereafter. Go figure.
Hope you enjoyed today's game of "How to speak HR".

Deal of the Week
This week Rite Aid has certain varieties of Colgate toothpaste on sale for $3.50 when you use your wellness+ card (sign up is free). For each one you purchase up to 4, a $3.50 coupon good for your next purchase is printed for you at checkout. But it gets better. I also had 2 $0.75 coupons from the Sunday paper. I'm still not done. About a month ago Colgate Palmolive had a mail in rebate offer in the Sunday paper- purchase $10 worth of participating items on 1 receipt and get $5 back. I'd cut it out just in case. Good thing. When you add up the value of the product, my coupons, and rebate then subtract my expenses of sales tax, a stamp, and perhaps $0.10 for an envelope, they are paying me very close to $5 and giving me $14 worth of toothpaste. That's what I call a deal.
P.S. You might be thinking "There's no way I'll use that much toothpaste before it expires". Donate it. There are nonprofits that would love to have what you don't need. You make money and do good at the same time. It's a definite win-win.

Homemade Mango Sorbet Anyone?
I recently ran across this recipe on Panera's website. I LOVE mango, so I printed it out for my "to try" file. Then, two weeks ago Saturday I found a 2 pound package of pre-peeled and sliced mangoes at Sam's Club. The price was right, so I scooped them up. First, I made a mango coconut shrimp recipe that I love. On Sunday, I made the sorbet, with two minor modifications. First, no bananas as I don't like them. My mom said just to use another cup of mango. Second, I replaced the sugar with Splenda. No problems with either substitution. I didn't use the cookies either, but I really don't consider that part of the recipe. It was easy and tastes great! Here's what it looked like served up. If you like mangoes, I'd highly recommend it.
The Most Precious Resource
If I asked you what the most precious resource is in the entire world, what would you say? Perhaps you'd answer gold ($1722.93/oz as I write this). Maybe you'd say platinum ($1633/oz currently). Or possibly you'd go the gemstone route and say rubies (more rare and thus valuable than diamonds. Blame the cartels for what you pay for the latter). I'd say the answer is none of these. It is TIME.
But wait, you say, I only make $8/hour. How is my time more valuable than anything you've listed above. It's simple. You can't get time back and you can't buy more. We all get the same number of hours in a day, whether we are megarich like Warren Buffett or just an average joe. It's a level playing field in that regard.
I absolutely detest people who waste my time. It is very valuable, and those who squander it incur my wrath. We should treat others' time the very same way. I get very upset when we make people wait after their scheduled interview times for no good reason. It's so disrespectful, and if I were the candidate it wouldn't enamor me of us.
Time is a precious, precious resource. Invest yours wisely, and be mindful of how you treat other people's.

Sowing and reaping is exponential
Perhaps you are familiar with the concept of sowing and reaping. Essentially, as you sow, so will you reap. It's often referred to in financial terms, but it also applies to things like kindness, friendship, etc. It also applies equally to negative things such as lies. One of the key things is to remember is that the process is not a one-to-one ratio.
I remember years ago my aunt illustrating this to a group of people. She had counted all the seeds from 1 watermelon (which obviously grew from a single seed). I wish I remembered the count, but suffice to say it was a lot. Far from a one-to-one ratio, it's not even multiplacative. It's exponential. Now, if it's been a while since math class or if math has never been your thing, let me use an example to show the difference.
Let's say someone offered you two choices, no strings attached. You could have $10 X 10 or $10 to the 10th power (sorry, I don't know how to input exponents in the text). Which would you choose? Free money is good, and so I'd want the bigger one. The first choice means you'd get $100. Not too shabby. However, the 2nd yields $10,000,000,000 ($10 billion). Yep, I want THAT one.
This is something we'd all do well to remember as we go about our lives. We would do much better to sow good things into the lives of others. It's both the right thing to do and in our own best interest as well.

Insult to Injury
How was your Valentine's day? I hope you had a great one. If it wasn't all you could have hoped for, let me assure you it could have been worse. Envision yourself in the following scenario:
First, several months ago your spouse one day says she no longer wants to be married. Now, imagine the same not-soon-enough-to-be-ex-spouse shows up to return the rest of your belongings to you. At work. On Valentine's Day. Yes, it really happened to someone I know.
Does anyone know if you can expedite divorce proceedings?

Is This Normal?
Last week we had a new security guard at our facility. As I was speaking to him, another employee walked up and started talking to him.
Employee X W: "Hi, X W. It's been a while"
Secuity Guard: "Yes, it has. You've gained some weight since I last saw you."
Need I tell you both people were male? Only a very catty woman would dare try this, and she would do so at grave risk to her life. Is this normal among guys?

Not a good day to be a contractor
This afternoon I got a call from our Maintenace Manager. He wanted me to know of a safety issue he had with the electricians working on our facility expansion. He had received a call from the guardhouse staff saying their computers, etc. had no power. He went to investigate, found a breaker off (not tripped, you'll see why this is important soon), and flipped it back on. This returned power to the area. As soon as the power was back on, an electrician came in yelling "Who turned that breaker on?" I'm not sure what exactly was said after that, but I have a vision of blue air.
What's wrong with this scenario?
1. First, you shouldn't be flipping off breakers to people's work areas without talking to them.
2. THIS IS SO UNSAFE IT'S CRAZY. As I was telling this story to my coworker, she said "What about lockout tagout?" I told my boss the first part of the story and asked him what was wrong. He knew too. Both these people work in the office. I'd wager that anyone in our facility would know. If you aren't familiar with lockout tagout, here's a good explanation. It's probably the OSHA reg that's saved more lives and body parts than any other. The Maintenance Manager said "I could have killed someone" and he's right. If someone was working on that circuit when he reenergized it, it could have been lights out. That's why the rule exists. Our maintenance people get this. I've never had a problem with them pulling a stunt like this. The Maintenace Manager pulled his team aside today and told them about this incidient, but I don't worry about them doing it. The scary thing is this was done by AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR. They do this type of work every day, and I'd say they don't lock things out as routine procedure. We are all creatures of habit.
3. You have to choose at whom you yell. The projector manager for the client is probably not a wise chioce.
As soon as the incident occurred, the general contractor was summoned. The GC hires all the subs, so they are HIS problem. One guy was quickly suspended for 2 days. I sent the GC an e-mail (and of course copied all sorts of internal people) stating that I appreciated his fast, appropriate response and the electrical contractor owes me a detailed report of the who, what, why, and how they are going to fix it by the close of business on Friday.
Right before I left today I was taking some cardboard out to our production area for recycling. I noticed sparks flying from work a contractor was doing. I stopped to take a look. Things seemed good. I saw a fire extinguisher and people acting as fire watch. As I looked closer though, I noticed one of the scissor lift occupants wasn't tied off to the lift. This is not an OSHA rule, but it is a requirement in our facilty. I asked one of the guys on the ground "What's he tied off to?" The response "He should be tied off to the lift". I asked again "What's he tied off to?" About this time the guy in the lift must have seen us staring at him. He immediately tied off. I made the guy on the ground call their site supervisor (who happens to be his dad). It was an interesting conversation of which to hear one half. I've also referred this to the GC. Between these two incidents and the smoke, I'm sure the GC was ready for today to be over.

Got Valium?
The construction process carries on, and as it does so, people get more and more stressed. Yesterday a manager wigged out on me about lack of meeting space. Excuse me, it's not MY fault that we have 1 functional meeting room for our whole company right now. Didn't you get the VP's e-mail about being flexible, etc.? I ended up walking away while he was talking. I told my boss it was either that or I'd say something true that the person might not enjoy.
Today I thought two of our managers were going to come to blows over something that's really not that big of a deal. Is this directly construction related? No, but the process is wearing on people's nerves.
If anyone has some Valium I could discretely put in the water supply, please let me know. What I've been telling people lately is "The building is going to be really nice when it's done if we don't kill each other first".

Another interesting day
You've probably noticed in my posts that my company's current construction project has led to some interesting times. Yesterday was no exception. As I was walking to the front door, I noticed that our portable restrooms had an ice dam under them. I thought to myself, "That's not a good sign".
First, let me explain our restroom situation. Our current restrooms have been out of service since the first week of January as they are being completely gutted and redone. We have a portable restroom trailer. These are NOT port a potties. They are heated and cooled with heated running water and flush commodes. We have 2 stalls for women and 2 for men. These are now our main restrooms. Thus, the presence of the ice dam was not good. I had heard people reporting water on the floor on Friday. It was very cold this weekend, so everything froze. Thankfully we do have 3 other bathrooms in our facility, but all are a long hoof and/or not as clean as we are used to. What did I do? I walked to the one that was the farthest (and cleanest). I was the only person to do so. Thankfully, the portable restrooms were returned to service around 10 AM.
The next excitement occurred around 1. I was finishing up my lunch when my coworker came into the lunchroom and said "There's smoke in the office. We're evacuating". At first I thought she was kidding, but nope. There was a haze in the office, and it smelled like something was burning. As the smoke was confined to the office, only people in that area were evacuated and the fire alarm wasn't sounded for the building. Still, this was our THIRD evacuation in 1.5 weeks. They could never find what caused it, but the air finally cleared and we returned to work. Just another typical day at my company.
P.S. We had the smoke AGAIN today. They finally figured out it's not smoke. It's some construction related dust, and they're making a plan to keep it out of our workspace.

Tax Time Again
I filed my taxes tonight. This is late for me to do so. I normally try to get them done in late January/early February as soon as I get all my paperwork, but this year I just wasn't motivated.
I was very excited as my state has this year established partnerships with several companies that allow you to prepare and electronically file your federal and state returns for FREE. I've written before about the IRS's Free File program, and I've used it for several years. However, I'm too cheap to pay for state processing. My state had a web-based program that would let you do it for free. The only catch was that you had to reenter your W2 information. With the new partnership, it's all there. It is AWESOME.
I made it my goal to finish my taxes this week. I I decided to start working on them Sunday. Of course, getting started turned into having everything done. Let's face it, I'm getting money back, and once you get all the paperwork organized, it's pretty easy to plug everything in. The first part is always scary as the income information is entered first. With my particular circumstances, it means the program shows that I owe the IRS some scary number at the point. However, once I entered all my deductions I ended up getting roughly the same large number back. Actually, my goal isn't to get as much back as I'm getting, but that's how it worked out this year. My state is stingy with deductions, so anytime you don't have to pay you are happy.
Tonight I went back and reviewed all my data before I submitted it. I'm a double check kind of person. Good thing I did too. I'd left off two items that resulted in my getting back almost another $40. Definitely worth my time to verify everything. I should have my money from both in about a week. Electronic filing and direct deposit rock.

It's been a interesting week
Due to my birthday trip to FL , it was only a 3 day workweek for me. However, it contained a lot of excitement. Thursday about 12:10 the fire alarm went off. Since I'm the Safety Queen, I knew it wasn't a drill. We all evacuated the building. As we were calling roll, the alarm monitoring company called the security guard. He asked our emergency coordinator what to tell them. He said "Tell them it's a drill" at which point I spoke up and said, "No, it's not". We always put the system on "test" when we have drills. Shortly thereafter the fire department rolled up. After some investigation, it was determined that there was no fire. One of the contractors working on our facility renovation had been cutting some metal, and it's believed that's what triggered the smoke detectors.
Then more excitement yesterday afternoon. Around 3:30 people started reporting smelling natural gas. I called the Maintenance Manager who did not take it seriously for quite a while and was making me unhappy. Finally he started do a walk through. He determined it had to do with the new gas regulator we had installed due to our facility expansion. It had done something similar before. It wasn't dangerous, but he called the gas company as they'd instructed him previously. By this time the smell had dissipated. However, it was soon back and was even stronger. He and the Manufacturing VP set off again to see what was up. He came back a few minutes later and said we were evacuating the building. I thought he was joking. But then the VP came in and said "We're evacuating. Don't shut off your computers. Lock them and leave. Go home if you can, if not go outside and await further instructions". I was asked to make an announcement over the PA. Someone told me later "I told so and so that was not your usual voice". The fact that my announcement ended with "move NOW" was probably a clue.
There were less than 20 people left in the building due to the time, and we accounted for everyone relatively quickly. I was told the regulator was bouncing up and down. No one in our maintenance department had ever seen it do that. The regulator is right by our air intake, so this was venting straight into our building. They didn't think it was too serious, but they weren't taking any chances as natural gas is no joke.
I hung around until the gas company showed, then I left as I was told there was no need for me to stay. I haven't heard anything since, so I assume everything was ok. All in all, quite an exciting 28 hours.

Broken Pieces
I was very fortunate to take a birthday trip to Florida last week. As I was walking the beach my last morning there, I saw a lady collecting shells. I asked her if she'd found anything interesting. She said she had. She takes interesting broken shells and make them into wreaths. She said they're broken, but still useful for making great looking things. I said "Just like people". As I walked on I realized how true that is. All of us are broken in one way or another. There's only been 1 perfect person in the history of humankind. However, being broken doesn't mean we're useless. Far from it. We can each do amazing things that are life altering for ourselves and others if we allow ourselves to be used.
