Lauren's boss:

Overall vibe is a bit Hank Scorpio (please go watch The Simpsons episode with him if you haven't, it's the best)
He needs a ridiculous outfit though, still going to do the whole spandex thing (maybe this will be part of Lauren's job, has to be sure it's not inappropriate by HR standards)
Things he could possibly want: amass power and have his own country and maybe, eventually the world; radical changes to our energy use; just a lot of money; institute a true meritocracy; isn't sure so he's just amassing power and wealth and will figure it out later (has vague corporate sounding mission statements when asked what his goal is)
Lauren doesn't much care what the mission is, it's a good job
Has the complex have a uniform, but there are casual Fridays (black corporate wear, very polished, include acceptable hair styles)
Inherited the company from his mother who is retired (she perhaps comes to visit), she wished he had been born a girl (maybe also she had a mission, but never revealed it to Lauren's boss or Lauren's boss never understood it which is why he keeps everything vague)
Consults with Lauren on what the annual winter holiday gift should be
Monitors glassdoor reviews and talks to Lauren and other HR people about them
Talks with Lauren about various health-related rewards for employees (like a prize for the division that bikes the most into work or sets up carpools)
Appears, at least via video chat, at each employee's birthday party
Constantly thinking of rebranding (but doesn't follow through because he always determines his original brand is best)
No tattoos
Very clean cut
Plays golf
Loves using corporate jargon and vague new words as well as things like 'synergy' (wants to coin his own, but struggles, but does publish a book with the title as one he thinks is quite good)

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
