YAY new job! Fingers crossed that the weirdness turns out to be no big thing.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I hope it is not real weirdness either. No one was giving me the stink eye. My initial gut feeling is that the admin and VP guy were just not a good fit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I bet a lot of folks here know that Chuck Yeager was the first person to exceed the speed of sound (while flying the Bell X-1), and that he was a fighter pilot who flew the P-51 Mustang during WWII. Anyway, this account by his wife is awesome:
”..Shortly after we settled in, Chuck drove us to the base...
”..Shortly after we settled in, Chuck drove us to the base to show us the X-1. He purposely hadn’t told me he named the plane Glamorous Glennis, but there it was, written on the nose. He did that with his Mustang in England, but this was an important research airplane, and I was very surprised. And proud. He said, “You’re my good-luck charm, hon. Any airplane I name after you always brings me home..” “
Glennis Yeager. From “Yeager: An Autobiography”
Awww....

As new person, though, msbelle, if it is awkward, at least you have ignorance on your side.

You know the pic I posted of Loki and the 'kin on the radiator? As I ran upstairs just now, both were passed out in the same spot, with Loki with a hunk of Pumpkin's neck in his teeth and Pumpkin had a hunk of his loose front haunch in hers.
They were both passed out, completely!

Glamorous Glennis
So much better than galumphing glennis or gigantic glennis.

helicopter parents in the office. WTF.
WTF indeed. My parents have never interfered at my job, and the company is owned by relatives on my Mom's side. How could someone possibly think that would improve their kid's standing or situation at work?

Pretty much. Pumpkin was a fortuitous addition, even as I fought it at the time. She's exactly the companion I knew Loki needed after Mister Kitty (who was a lovely mentor, but NSM with the crazy antics and Lokes respected that. But he was still kittenish and welcomed the crazy. )
