If you are looking for the meaning of life, you won't find it in HR: Funny Side Up.  But, if you'd like to add a smile to your day and, at times, LOL (laugh out loud), then this is the book for you.  Since the early 1990's, Elliott Witkin has shared his unique sense of humor with readers of the IHRIM.link (formerly Review) through his column "The Back Page."  Over those years, he not only contributed more than 50 columns, but also put many a smile on our reader's faces.

According to Elliott, "every day those of us in HRMS deal with significant issues such as adapting to rapidly changing technology, doing more with less, and complying with increasing regulatory requirements.  But these are easy compared to our most critical issue, which is 'How do we describe our jobs to people we meet at parties?'  Elliott's answer to that question may work for you as well.

It is said that children laugh 146 times a day and adults laugh only 4 times a day.  Is it any wonder we have so many stress-related health issues?  Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, and you need some fun, take a dose of HR: Funny Side Up.  Like Elliott says, "...we are fortunate that our work is so focused on people" because "...everyone we work with has the ability to make us laugh (although sometimes it's polite to wait until they leave to start laughing)."
