“We got to improve black and brown relations.”

I’m tempted to skip “Ugly Betty” tonight to watch the Palin/Biden debate. It may prove to be far more entertaining. What I love most is that she’s been “cramming” at McCain’s ranch these past three days for the debate. Super. The potential future vice president of the United States of America (or as Mr. Alterhausen calls her, the Alaskan Anti-Christ) has to study and bone up on on current events like some eleventh grader before a history exam. I don’t know whether to be amused or nauseous.
One of the joys of working in HR is presenting a papersigning/benefits orientation for all newly hired employees every week, which includes taking pictures for ID badges. You would think that the photo being taken was going on match.com or MySpace given the grief and pickiness with which these folks–and I’ll be straight honest here, it’s mostly women–fret over how it looks, at what angle it’s being shot, and the lighting. I mean, it’s meant to *identify* you, not score you a date. That’s it. And most people will not be looking at the picture of you on your badge. They’ll be looking at you. And your badge will just serve to *identify* you by name and job title. Do you see where I’m going with this?
