I watched one ambulance driver do that and turn into the Dunkin donuts drive thru!<br /><br />Frankly - the scene sounded a little political to me- <br />And this town is riddled with political agendas any desire I had towards civic duty- after reading comments in blogs that attack people- their filies- destroy their characters- for seemingly small<br />Stuff- scares me away!<br /><br />Holy Cow- all the good in Timbro - and people are focused on an allegation of not listening to a roadblock to get home to see tht his family was safe in a storm.<br />SMH<br /><br /><br />The town players need some social classes - you know the kind that teach people how to be kind with those you disagree with- and how to play nice! Basic kindergarten skills.<br /><br /><br />Vote Timbro in already- <br /><br />JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-36135156610345182122013-01-22T09:26:47.148-05:002013-01-22T09:26:47.148-05:00Milardo and her high school education are going to...Milardo and her high school education are going to cost the city more than just the millions in the golden handshake.

Yet, she is blogging. Deb, you played whatever side of the fence you had to in order to survive in the hell whole. You know what you've done. Don't act like you are holy. Not everyone can put their name like you have done now, since your retired with a sweet pay-out. Some of us still need our jobs to pay for our x wives, drinking issues, gambling issues etc etc. so enjoy your retirement. You don't have to prove your qualified anymore. Besides no one will ever really be anyway.

Did I discipline you? Fail to hire your brother or sister? Not give you a promotion because you failed a test or were not qualified? HR professionals aren't on the job to make friends and certainly you have proved that point. This was 16 years ago. I've moved on. You should try it yourself... While this has been fun, I'm pretty sure I have better things to do than to debate with a faceless coward. Print your name and lets have a meaningful dialogue even if it is to disagree.

I applied for an was qualified by the Personnel Department; competed in a testing process of which I came in 2nd and had to be vetted by the Common Council. All the "rules" concerning appointment were followed so what exactly are you basing your opinion/claim on? It is very easy to hide behind the label "Anonymous" and since I no longer work for the City I encourage you to be man or woman enough to respond with your real name, just as I am posting this with mine. Just curious but if I were a betting woman I would guess that I recommended or disciplined YOU for failure to perform your job sometime over the past 16 years.
