Okay so I'm going to continue Lauren's story. If you wanna read what I have so far, go here:

If you want to read my previous brainstorm, go here:

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)

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
