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

Someone track down the boss and send him over to New Guy's (empty) desk!

If only boss were here. New Guy just asked me to attend a 9am meeting in his stead, so I guess he's not showing up for a while. Hrrmph.

I love the fact that DH has a corporate nurse. It's like k-12 school!

I know! The only difference is the the company can afford to have the nurse there every day, all day and the schools can't.

So does that mean employees can take no meds without the nurse knowing (as would happen in a school) or a coworker can't give you an advil?

That's an excellent question. Pretty sure it's a drug-free campus.

I would NOT be down with that. When I worked at Wyeth, I don't think we had a nurse on campus, though there were plenty of doctors etc in the offices.

I AM STARVING now. I desperately want to make these [link] stat, but I don't have scallions so that's a limiting factor. Nom nom nom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I want those, too. I wonder what I'll have for lunch...

Damn! If only I could get a job as a fake Medieval falconer....

What's with this "will not be allowed to fly" business?

Probably to keep the falcons from taking out corgis when there aren't any gulls around to attack. Plus, some people freak out when they see the natural result of predator/prey interactions.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am getting an avocado salad from the Ethiopian place for lunch and also 2 chicken dishes (something I have no idea how to make yet) for our dinner.

My boss is being so shady I do not even know.

re: nursing

it has been a growth industry for over 15 years. My first job out of college was tracking a region's use of government money for re-training laid-off workers and nursing programs were always one of the things they could train for.
