hehe,
So much fun – I have started my own HR blog in danish (sorry ) But I am impressed to find so many dealing with my “heartblood” [HR].

I really like your style and approach. I don’t think it would ever happen in Denmark; HR are very very “unrelaxed” when it comes to have the – in my opinion – ironic distance to what we are doing.

Keep up the very very good work,
I will link to you shortly…
Kindest,
stoney

As you can see, I’ve linked to this.

We were always told, by journalists in the UK, that dress-down failed over here because British men have no sartorial flair. Apparently it was a success everywhere else because everyone else in the world dresses better than we do.

Thank you for debunking that myth.

@ Frank, you make me blush

@ Col, I love the EAP for so many (personal) reasons

@ Perrick, you need to find a job in big pharma because we love endless meetings and donuts. The donuts are mandatory!

The sad thing is that, even with those restrictions, I’m envious. (do I need to call EAP about that?) The dress code in a hospital environment is a wee bit strict. We don’t have casual Fridays! Between the JCAHO compliance and the whole “don’t alarm the patients” thing, there’s a lengthly list of unacceptable attire even for non-medical staff.

I had an informational interview with the senior generalist at my husband’s employer. She was wearing shorts and flip flops, plus a tank top and a sparkly nose stud. Somehow none of her sartorial choices interfered with her job performance. Must have been a fluke.

I’d happily volunteer for the CDTF if it means endless meetings. Getting paid to daydream and eat doughnuts and think of ways to annoy my coworkers… bliss.
