That always seems to be the case with HR departments! (no offense, Scrappy.)
Actually, I think HR in general has an image problem because part of their job interacts directly with the rest of us, but not all of it. So when they aren't doing the interaction part, I can't figure out what they are doing -- because I don't really know what the other part is. Which is not their fault.
(Not that I'm letting this specific person off the hook because I really don't think she's using her time effectively...)
Thank you all for reminding me I'm out of coffee and need to run down to SBUX before they close. We do not need a repeat of this morning's Red Bull Cola. Bleh.
Right, people keep thinking that Mad Men plays it for laughs or exaggerates that culture, but Nader (ptooie!) really created a revolution in how people thought about safety.
I remember a standup comedian riffing on the world before car seats and how you'd put the baby on the shelf by the rear view window of the car. All you'd worry about was flipping the baby over so it wouldn't get a sunburn. Which is funny - but people totally did that!
I know lots of people who still make that argument, mostly wrt helmets (bike or motorcycle) though. It's that super-libertarian stance, right? Thinks people should be allowed to be unsafe.
Apple simply lets me continue doing something I've been doing for years in a shiny, candy-like fashion.
And right there, SH sums up Apple's entire marketing plan. Which totally works on me.
Motorcycle helmets aren't required in Florida. It freaks me out on I-95 when they fly by me. Eeep! My office is next to a motorcycle shop and the owner there does wear his. If he didn't I would yell at him because I like him and would have to go mommy on him.

yep. My friend's husband is like that. He's a US Marshal and refuses to wear a seatbelt. Whatever dude. If you survive getting thrown out of the car, I'm totally making you pay for the windshield.
Thanks for drawing to my attention that I had duplicate Rachel McAdams pictures! Now remedied.
C Rachel Bilson. I don't mind my boys young, but I think if I were to love the ladies, I wouldn't be cradle robbing Bilson. F McAdams, and M Weisz.
I don't know any of the Rachel's, but on looks alone. Who knew I could instantly have such opinions on women?
F:Weisz
C:Bilson
M:McAdams
