Re: Woman Sees Husband Off to Iraq, Gets Fired I agree with it should work both ways, and I think that comes back to be a good employee. I know we take care of our good employees, because they take care of us. If you work at a lousy company, as soon as you can find a better job, you will take it and leave the lousy company for greener pastures. It goes both ways. Lousy employee, get rid of them. Lousy company, find a new one. That is what I am trying to say. I don't think that the fact that she was 1 day late returning to work is the reason she was canned. It might have been the last reason, but I feel sure there were others leading up to it.

Re: Woman Sees Husband Off to Iraq, Gets Fired [ QUOTE ] He added that other factors were involved in the decision, but he declined to elaborate [/ QUOTE ] That tells the whole story to me. They were looking for another reason to can her and she provided it. People get fired everyday, and she is no different. If she had been an exceptional employee, without any problems, I feel sure she would not have been fired. Good employees are just to hard to come by. Plus they had already given her a week off and she was supposed to return to work on Monday. No show, no call, bye bye. The only reason this is being discussed is because her husband is in the service. I have the utmost respect for him and all others that defend this country, but those of us that don't still have a job to do, and the companies we work for depend on us to do those jobs. If they can't depend on an employee, they no longer need that employee. I imagine, like I believe Popgun said, through the media coverage she gets over this, not only will she find a better job, but Oprah will probably put her on TV to tell how bad of an injustice has been done to her.

Re: Winner of the Forum Baseball World Series..... Congrats Todd, and you too, VA, had fun.

Re: CONGRATS to the WhiteSox Yea, Congrats to the Whitesox. Wish my 'stros could have won at least one game, but at least they got there.

Re: realtree camo bat I think the balls that the Whitesox have been pitching must be camo'd, cause the Astros sure can't see them.

Re: 4 inchs Yea, I am still waiting for the snow here also. Not holding my breath tho.

Re: so long busch stadium GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Armageddon arrived and everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise. God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines - one line for those who were true heads of their household and the other line for those who were dominated by their women. All of the women are to report to St Peter." Soon, the women were gone and there were two lines of men. The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was thousands of miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man. God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you to be the head of your household. You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose. I told you to be the spiritual leader in your family. Of all of you only one obeyed. Learn from him. Tell them, my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?" The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."

Re: My frustration with Ebay members.. I hear you and agree with you. I see the same thing from the other side. I have been selling items quite abit lately and always leave positive feedback as soon as the item is paid for. I would venture to say that almost half of the buyers have not left any feedback.

Re: Got a Dandy today!!!! WOW, heck of a B-day present for you. Congrats to you & your wife.

Re: Planing to win I would hire a spelling teacher

Re: College A.P. Polls Well you would generally expect a close game out of the #2 & #4 ranked teams. Once again, who has USC played?

Re: College A.P. Polls here is UT's record & margin of victories Sat, Sep 3 Louisiana-Lafayette W 60-3 Sat, Sep 10 at (4) Ohio State W 25-22 Sat, Sep 17 Rice W 51-10 Sat, Oct 1 at Missouri W 51-20 Sat, Oct 8 Oklahoma W 45-12 Sat, Oct 15 (24)Colorado W 42-17

Re: College A.P. Polls [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Folks, wins are only a psrt of rankings for teams. The rest of the equation is how well the teams play and how close the margin of victory is.........not to mention turn-over ratios and such. I know they're a good team, but with the system set as it is, there's NO way they should be #1. [/ QUOTE ]You want to talk margin of victory, here's there games previous to the ND game check this out... #1- 63-17 win #2- 70-17 win #3- 45-13 win #4- 38-28 win #5- 42-21 win [/ QUOTE ] You ought to put the name of the team they played next to each score. Numbers don't mean a thing if they are playing a second or third rate team. UT has a couple of high scoring games also, but they are against smaller colleges that don't really show anything. The games against the ranked or generally strong teams shows a lot more about a team.
