We had an Item Transition team for a long time that was, of course, called IT and what most people would call IT was IS for Information Services but I think both have changed in the recent reorgs (Item Transition was just kind of absorbed into Supply. I think it's very funny that we have a Supply Team and a Demand Team and wish to pit them against each other in a tug of war to determine pricing, but that is actually handled by an entirely different department)
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Bwah!
I always preferred "Personnel" to "Human Resources," the latter of which seems to advertise exploitation. "How we doing on humans?" "Running low. Better squeeze more juice out of 'em."

They do send us pie charts each year to remind us that in ADDITION to our salary, we recieved X amount of dollars in benefits, so really our salary is salary plus X. Which is frankly more irritating than helpful.

We get that, they call it Total Compensation and it is extremely irritating

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The BBC used to do that as an incredibly passive-aggressive way of defending our pitiful salaries. (I mean they probably still do, just not to me anymore since I haven't worked there in 6 years.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Timelies all!
Well, we survived a virtual school day for Mr. S without the nanny.(She apparently went out of town, and wouldn't be back until the time she would pick him up at school) There were a couple of classes where he wasn't paying attention to the screen, but it went well over all.

I get emails all the time from corporate headquarters about “important” organizational changes, and I don’t think a single one has ever made a difference in my life or even been noticed.
