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)

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
