No, HR knew, he just wasn't supposed to say anything.

Because books.
It sounds like he's not in good favor there himself.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Ah. Yeah. In that circumstance if HR was calling him on it they in no way should have told him who inquired.
But, people do tend to notice things like desk clearing. Make him do it on the weekend if it needs to be so hush hush (and I can't imagine a reason why it does).

My anger I mentioned the other day IT IS OUT AND NOT SUBSIDING TODAY.
I want to punch people. I think maybe working on my resume would be better. dumbass dumbasses.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's really bad practice, Msbelle. I am casting disdainful glances at my fellow HR person.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, that doesn't sound like best HR practices, msbelle. Sorry you got stuck in the middle of things.
I had no coffee today. I've decided to try the 10 Day Detox thing (yes, 95% of all diets fail, but on the other hand, my jeans are tight, so) and one of the things on the chopping block is coffee. I'm a little sleepy and dreamy feeling, but no homicidal urges so far. Of course, on Friday half the office is working from home or otherwise gone, which may be a factor in my overall zen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I successfully stopped at 4 cups (and switched to tea...)
What a mess, msbelle.

Sorry for the cluster HR is making of this whole thing. That is obnoxious and I'm glad you plan on talking to the VP of HR.
CJ and I drove half way last night, slept for a few hours, and are now in Flagstaff for a lunch break. Only 2.5 hours more to go. But I'm stuck waiting for a project manager to send me a file so I can update something that has to be updated before books close today. And I just want to be done and yet I'm waiting.
This is the PM who sent me the Jameson, so I'm trying hard not to be two annoyed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, it's Friday! What are people doing this weekend?
I have to take Charlie to the vet for shots, but then I get to go see Juliana's play.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have a contract job! Should be good for a couple of months at least, and I can work from home!
