Hahahaha no one told that department anything at all. Oops. Communication is a core value. Sigh.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
We have a "Strategic Communications" team that refuses to share information with the rest of the staff. This morning my boss asked me to include some information about a blog post that they'd sent out ... except they didn't share with staff, so I had to go into our mass email system, find the message and send it to myself, since the preview wouldn't let me get the information or the URL to link to.

Oh, I think you have mentioned them before, Toddson. That's Kafkaesque. Or maybe Orwellian.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I guess technically that's a strategy.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
-t actually, it's more like a Kafkaesque satire on Orwell.
(5 points for anyone that gets the reference)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I guess technically that's a strategy.
Dana beat me to it.

Our wings are not tired.
Our strategic communication is more like me yelling, "Are you listening to me?" across the house to DH. We try meetings from time to time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Speaking of Kafka-esque and Orwellian, I had a moment the other day that was slightly weird and I thought...."This feels Charlie Kaufmann-esque." Not Fellini-esque. Not Lynchian. Kaufmannesque.
[I was in line at TJ's and the woman in front of me was a slender woman with red-auburn hair and yoga pants. And I looked to the left and there was a woman of exact same typology - same reddish brown hair, same length, similar mask, yoga pants. And I felt certain if I looked to the right or behind me, I would be surrounded by the Auburn Lululemons.]

That sounds like a situation where you would really want to know what genre you are in

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats on the grandkid, Laura!
