Lauren brainstorm

Okay so I'm going to continue Lauren's story. If you wanna read what I have so far, go here:
http://fifteenminutesofscrawl.blogspot.com/2019/01/most-important-thing-on-her-desk.html

Here are some ideas of where her story could go:

  • Evil company retreat complete with team building exercises
  • Someone filing an HR complaint successfully (maybe sexual harassment because even the supervillain thinks that's too vile)
  • Someone filing an HR complaint unsuccessfully (wants more knick knack allowances for her desk)
  • Bring your daughter to work day (but she brings her niece)
  • The story of her promotion (people ahead of her were put in cells and one was killed in a superhero's storming of the complex)
  • Bring a pet to work day which causes many HR complaints
  • HR policy meetings (maybe about how much to spend on staff birthdays and other parties) that maybe lead to some jailings and/or injuries
  • A superhero rushes in to save her and she casually dispatches him to the cells below the complex
  • Employee of the month awards (and maybe accompanying ceremony)
  • Having to give a tour of the complex to new employees (perhaps dispatching poor ones like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or weeding out spies) (maybe a school group tour teenagers or college students)
  • Having an OSHA visit
  • Has to inspect safety measures around the complex (manual handling course)
  • Helps with security inspections to be sure employees feel comfortable with the new measures
  • Tax season is upon the complex (has to help the corporate office with inquiries as well as employees and then has to file her own taxes and figure out what to expense)
  • For tone, think of some of the bad place ideas from The Good Place e.g. the complex offers frozen yogurt instead of ice cream
  • Thinking of The Good Place maybe have a little on sight museum with exhibits about the supervillain's accomplishments and things the complex has achieved
Some additional ideas about Lauren:
  • Her sister doesn't know exactly what she does, but chalks it up to not understanding the corporate world and its jargon
  • Despite not discussing work, she and her sister are close
  • Her sister is fairly naive, but appreciates all the help with raising Quinn
  • Quinn's father was an employee at the complex, but was put in the cells for trying to take over. Lauren's sister believes he's run out on them and Lauren thinks it's good riddance
  • Has a few work friends, but since her promotion it's been a bit difficult to maintain their friendship
  • Doesn't like work parties etc. but does them because it's her job and her boss seems to like them
  • Has a pet snake (maybe a yellow ball python like the one in that Britney Spears performance and, in fact, that's where Lauren got the idea for the pet)
  • Favorite color is yellow
  • Wants Rey to join the dark side and thinks it's more practical
  • In terms of movie opinions thinks of Barney in HIMYM (Lauren's sister finds this funny and quirky rather than a cause for concern)
  • Has a motorcycle which makes her niece think she's very cool (has a side car for her niece)
  • Also has minivan for when she has to drive carpool for her niece's soccer team

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
