I’m On Notice

by Laurie on October 10, 2008

I woke up late and I am already three hours behind my project plan to return to Michigan — so it looks like I’ll be hauling ass on the highway to make up for lost time.

I managed to read some of the comments from my readers about the lovely state of Ohio. Really? Do you really love Ohio that much? I was stuck in downtown Columbus traffic, earlier this week. Who designed that expressway? Satan?

Fine, you can consider me warned. I’m on a thirty-day performance improvement plan with SMART goals realted* related to soliciting feedback and controlling my rants against Ohio. If I fail to meet the terms & conditions of this written performance improvement plan — or if my rants against any other states in the union (except Alaska) offend you — I will be terminated from my role as an unemployed HR blogger without notice.

*I’ll also be held accountable for using the spellchecker before I publish posts. Sorry about that.

Ok, I am little late in this discussion, but I wanted to stick up for Ohio. It really is a great place to live and after living in DC, the traffic is still way better. Although, I agree Cols traffic is a little unnerving sometimes.

Love your blog!

I believe rolling down your windows and singing along with “Hang On Sloopy” at the top of your lungs the next time you pass through Ohio (particularly Columbus) would go a long way to improving your relationship with Ohio. I kid you not that it is the official rock song of the state of Ohio. Here is a link to the actual, and hilarious resolution that made it so: http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1878

If that was a threat to go out and get a job, for some strange reason I find that to be a bit less than credible.

@col They were out of premium in Raleigh, but only Jersey douchebags put premium in their cars. ;)

@mom Crazy foo.

@Melanie Thanks. I’m sure Ohio is lovely. Just call it Indiana and be honest about it.

@Jimmy That is a cool fact. Well played.

@Nick You saw right through me.
