Favorite Things (HMG)

1. Our old receptionist who would complain bitterly about being cold year round while sitting at reception in a spaghetti strap t-shirt...yeah put on some clothes, 40 year old boobs aren't the draw they used to be! Final note, when her space heater blew the circuit board and took the entire building out for a day or two, she moved up to t-shirts with cap sleeves:)

2. Who doesn't love the office holiday party and Secret Santa exchanges, especially when you pull your friends name out of the hat and decide the perfect gift under $20 is a bag of weed!
Really happened, still friends with both on facebook:)

3. Depending on the size of the company, HR frequently doubles as the facilities team, so when you call me about the toilets being backed up, it may not be a good time to strike up a conversation about the new cleansing program you just started...final note, everyone has been put on notice cleansing begins friday evenings at home...please and thank you!

4. Don't we all love the I'm too sexy for the office girl, who complains to HR that men are leering at her, and its making her uncomfortable...really hooty mcboob!! OK well , after sexual harrassment and sensitivity training, lets spend some time considering clothes that aren't hanging on for dear life.

5. Ahh the office romance...a few pointers, make sure they are not a basket case to begin with, don't try to find little projects for them to do in your division, not a great idea to sign a lease and move into the apartment building next door to the person, oh and when it all goes horribly wrong, don't keep sleeping with the person for months, and not introduce them to your parents when they are touring the office meeting everybody else you work with....final note, they are friends with each other on facebook, so it must have worked out somehow:)

And we're off...
