2. LP starts Summer School today. Don't ask me why they start on a Thursday, but they do. He's less than thrilled about getting up early.
3. We had hail yesterday. It was tiny pea-sized. When I told a group of people that it was pea-sized hail, one smartass asks, "Petite, baby peas or those big generic Aldi peas?"
4. At lunch we were bitching about the Human Resources director . . about how anti-human he is. Look up the word "asshole" in the dictionary--there he is!
One of my sisters told me she once had a HR director who had countless shoplifting arrests, but still stood up in company meetings and preached integrity, morals and ethics. She said a friend of hers went up to him after such a speech, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Among all the speakers today, you STOLE the show!" LOL. She said he got her meaning.

"Human Resources" is an oxymoron, mainly because they usually hire moronic people. Seriously, while I am sure there are dedicated personable HR people out there, they usually seem to be the kind of people who were deemed too people-friendly to work for the DMV.
One of my co-workers (on another shift) was told by her doctor to only work 4 days a week instead of 5 until she went out on maternity leave. She cleared this with HR and her shift manager, worked four days per week for several weeks (on the clock, mind you, as an hourly full-time worker) - then found out that HR took it upon themselves to take that 5th day she wasn't working each week and subtract it from her maternity leave she was going to take when the baby arrived. Last I heard, she was mad as hell that she was only going to be able to take 4 weeks instead of 6 for maternity leave. Thank you, HR.
How's LP doing?
