OK, the McDonnalds guy they quote is "David Fairhurst, chief people officer in northern Europe for McDonald’s."
Whatever the fuck a chief people officer is....
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Someone who offices the chief people! Come on.

I was thinking more that they would have a department of people officers, and one would be the chief.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't know if I was given a memory eraser during my facial surgery, or if that's just how I react. I do know (hope?) they had to knock me all the way out, because someone being awake and moving during facial reconstruction is not the best idea.

They could just paralyse you like for brain surgery.

Hubby once woke up during shoulder reconstruction. He didn't feel anything, but he did glance over and say, "I didn't know Black & Decker made medical instruments." The doctor was not amused.

You people are not helping my surgery phobia at all.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Good unconsciousness stories!
I had super-Valium for my wisdom teeth extraction, and although I was not technically unconscious, I was pretty effin unconscious according to my definition of the term. The needle went in (okay, painfully), the little flippy switch went to "give this girl some drugs", and I woke up two hours later with fewer teeth.
Even the side-effects were kind of cool! I had full-body tremor as I came out of it, and walked around with that serious vagueness of someone thoroughly drunk and trying to find her glasses.
Plus? Milkshakes later on!!
