“I wonder how many overpaid CEO’s ever talk to their employees and find out exactly how “happy” they are? And How many employees, worrying about their jobs, would be honest enough to tell them?”
BG, there is a whole HR industry of consultants and other useless people who actually do survey employees to determine their level of happiness. Mrs. D has shown me some of the ones she’s had to fill out.

Scott – Road traffic is minimal but security depends on where you’re going & if it’s a heavily booked access area. Tuesday to TX shouldn’t be too bad except flights were cancelled today.
“lech – If you took that advice to heart why are you so often posting bitches about working late & weekends?”

“Obama joined the fray because he’s the most left winged of any president we’ve had in history. he’s also a politician and is posturing wrt the electorate. I sincerely believe though that he doesn’t have his finger on the pulse of America anymore…hence the “shellacking””
Dibs, what’s the current “pulse” of America then?
