So...lunch with the HR Director was...lunch with the HR Director. Apparently I'm not the only one to have thought "exit lunch???" because she gets that it freaks people out. Not that it's changed how she communicates, but there you go. It was only mildly uncomfortable, since I do actually like talking about myself. Also, my family is cooler than your family.
They're just picking names out of a hat, and every week she has lunch with three employees. This week she picked three immigrants--Honduras, The Philippines, and Jamaica. For some reason, the guy who moved here from Honduras wouldn't specify further than "Central America" until he was pushed on it. Yet, he's the one with the most obvious accent. I wonder what that was about? He was also the one talking about the "American way of life" in venerating tones. Filipina and I are all "old school values for the win!"
Remember I mentioned Buffy
was pregnant?
Here's how they're handling it. So far, it seems well done.
Yeah, The Mary Sue has a post today on that topic as well, ita. Looks fairly promising.
Joss is either shit or the shit. Let's hope this one works out for the latter.

One of the guidance counselors at Sara's school does that with the kids.
I have to fill out travel request forms. Two different sets, different charging account, different ways of running the estimate. We haven't even gotten to actually booking, which will be its own special portal to hell.
Going to work out the frustration in the pool tonight.
We leave put dog out all day when needs must--like today while the DH is off at the Auto Show. Big fenced yard, nice weather, a covered porch, fresh water, a special dog bed. He likes it as far as we can see.
Of course, I took a half-day off work yesterday because it was raining and I didn't want him having to deal with that. After Saturday, when we have the new puppy, that will change--no more unsupervised yard slounging.
y'know ... in regard to the requirement for contraception in health care plans ... I wonder how many of the people who are vehemently arguing that this forces some religious organizations to violate their conscience were just as vehemently supporting the Komen foundation's right to choose how and where to spend their money and defund Planned Parenthood. I mean, if the Komen foundation can choose who qualifies to receive its money, can't the government?
ita !, I'm glad the lunch was just a lunch.
At karate today, one of the Masters came in to teach us. We went through choke holds and lapel grabs. Good solid self defense. Then I spent a half hour working with my fans. Man - you wouldn't think fans would be rough, but I feel like a total klutz.
Oh, and I gave a guy my phone number. Eeeep.
