The Return of HYE

Remember HYE? Look in October TIPS' The Network Is Down for how HYE got its start.


What hurts, often instructsC'mon, "networkers!" We need your "Have you ever?" hints! Confessions are good for the soul! (OK, mostly they're good for a laugh, but research shows...uh...that your screw-ups are good for my blood pressure!)

Here's a few that have happened (or been submitted) recently. Don't forget - contact the Grand Poo-Bah of HYE (who happens to be the long-suffering editor of this rag) for your confessions! For a bit of fun with the Latin on the HYE crest, look below...

 

  • ...sent a 10 meg attachment to someone via email, and, for good measure, CC'd yourself - and then wondered why you can't email anybody? (Thanks, Mr. Forston!)
  • ...discovered the hole in your pocket while you're standing in front of the parking meter?
  • ...called your cell phone so you could find it by its ring, and it goes off in your pocket?
  • ...dropped off those MRIs to your doctor's office, and, a week later, when inquiring as to their contents, being told they hadn't arrived yet? (True story!)
  • ...with difficulty, created a space in your busy schedule for a Professional Development only to discover you know more than the instructor? (It's an even ruder awakening when the PD is actually a college course!)

Send us your HYE!!!!

 

"What the heck does Quae Nocent, Saepe Docent mean?"

OK, dufus, all you have to do is run your mouse over the crest above, and it'll tell you! I'll wait here while you go look.....OK, got it? Did it hurt?

Sine Nomine was the name of a local semi-professional choral ensemble for 8 years...until the director, Gary Anderson, got tired of the constant questions about what it meant. (It means, of course, "Without a name.") While researching HYE's wonderful motto, I found lots of fun Latin phrases. Here they are, and how they translate:

Latin phrase English translation
Si hoc legere scis, nimis eruditionis habes If you can read this, you are overeducated
Cogito, ergo doleo I think, therefore I am depressed
Frena pro feris teneo I brake for animals
Credo Elvem ipsum etian vivere I think that Elvis is still alive.
Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Mellita, domi adsum Honey, I'm home
Ecce potestas casei Behold the power of cheese
Quisque comoedus est Everybody's a comedian
