My first piece of advice is to make sure there is another member of managment in the meeting. This is always a good habit to get into. Secondly, make sure you have valid points to substaniate and illustrate how this person isn't doing his/her job. Chances are he/she already knows this and will be a pisser about it. My experience is the more hostile, the more the person knows they are up to standards. I would then have a improvement plan ready to go. Give he/she so many days/weeks etc to improve. At the end of said period, another conversation takes place. At that meeting, performance is reviewed. If everything is ok, keep an eye on the person and carry on. If not, then there needs to be a stricter plan laid out. Maybe more one on one training etc. Hope this helps.

Where are you going to need it the most? Well be right <b>THERE</b>.<br><br>
I'm thinking around mile 22- 23 on Summit--crowds are less, parking better, and you are going to be happy to see faces who don't say stupid things like "Almost done! Just three more miles! Looking great!"<br><br>
What kinda thing do you want that would keep you going at that point??<br><br>
You're in St Paul at the Wild tonight? Gee, thanks for asking. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Crud. Gotta work.

Speaking of HR peeps...KJBoston is heading off to the OC today; I saw her briefly last night. Safe travels, Kristi!

Crane girl - you are asking a man what would keep him going? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">... wow!!!<br><br>
Mile 25 is a really good spot. It is right before that last clock and at the top of the last hill.

I'm back.<br><br>
Wednesday drinking is...?..well?.....Wednesday Drinking! !kcuF<br><br><b>Cactus</b>: The game was excellent. Thanks for asking. Sens beat the Flyers 4-2. Good action. Great seats. I came this - close to catching me a flying hot dog! I need to work on my Jump and Reach move in small confined areas. Then the next time the opportunity strikes, The dog will be mine!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ailarie]

Okay.. for the Hockey illiterate... WTF is this? Like a T-shirt giveaway at football games, where they throw shirts into the crowd, but this time with hot dogs?!

 

[runningINnyc]

Be careful! We don't need to hear about you pulling some Maude Flanders-like incident.

What comes on the flying weiner?

I will educate you, Dear Child. You see, the mascot, Sparticat, <img alt="" src="http://nhl.speedera.net/intheslot/read/mascots/images/spartacat226x378.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> has a specially designed gun that you put hot dogs and submarines into and then shoot into the crowd.

I'd like it to be known that I did not initiate the Cortland apple discussion. I was merely born and raised in Cortland. Thank you. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

How cool is <a href="http://www.boston.com/ae/sidekick/insidekick/2007/09/whatever_you_wa.html" target="_blank">this</a>? Both events DH and I are involved in this weekend make up part of the "date night" in the Boston Globe today!

No no no no...I think <b>Winter</b> really meant she was millimeters from catching this:<br><img alt="" src="http://www.joelbecker.com/graphics/slinky.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
Safe travels to <b>kj!!</b><br><b>{{{{Maureen & Lori}}}}</b> much love to you all<br>
Found out about a local ekiden relay possibility - teams of 4, 2 mile legs each. Top prize (RT ticket to Japan to each team member) goes not to the fastest team, but the team that comes closest to a randomly picked time. Beer & goodies afterward - sounds good to me!<br><br>
Speaking of beer..in the words of Lionel Richie on the Simpsons...Hey You, Beer Me...Beer Me For Always...That's the way it should be <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/occasion14.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="occasion5"><br><br>
Already, back to your regularly scheduled fun (wish I could have a frickin beer at work here heh)

Never mind. I was trying to quote a quote, and it didn't work. Carry on, folks. Carry on.
