Lauren brainstorm part 3

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

Other things about Lauren's office:
  • I think there should be a secret panel that allows her to go to a panic room (having it shared by all other HR employees there could be hilarious)
  • Should also be another secret panel that leads to a private bathroom (a promotion perk) and she should occasionally get confused between the two
  • Fake painting that allows her to video conference her boss
  • Has a window (upgrade from her previous office)
  • Has a company equivalent of an Alexa
  • Has a potted plant because the boss thinks it makes HR offices more friendly (Lauren does not like her plant and only grudgingly takes care of it)
Other potential plot points:
  • All HR employees in the panic room either in a drill or in a real invasion
  • Various other drills: fire, earth quake, the new hydro-drill has malfunctioned, mudslide, the robots have become sentient, power outage
  • Picking a new HR software
  • Redoing the complex website
  • Spring cleaning day
  • Christmas party (secret santa)
  • Dealing with a honeymoon request
  • Going over retirement plans with the few employees who are close to that age
  • Halloween party (one person dresses up as the boss and it does not go well)
  • State of the company address
  • Deciding on a logo for the complex
  • Employees needing to pick appropriate code names that don't overlap (everyone wants names like hurricane, maelstrom, and Bob)
  • Decisions on company branded freebies like frisbees, mugs, pens, laser guns, notepads
  • Going green initiative 
  • Trying to see if they can somehow become tax exempt
  • All complex photo
Other ideas about Lauren's boss:
  • People are meant to call him Mr. Supreme Leader, but for the higher ups (like Lauren now is) they just call him Supreme Leader
Other ideas about the complex:
  • There are other complexes throughout the world
  • Every complex has a 'sister complex'
  • Sometimes there are complaints about how other complexes have this feature or that party or that rule that Lauren has to field and then, on occasion, talk to her boss about
If anyone is reading these, I would love to hear people's thoughts on my various ideas! I think this story could have more to it than the original post, but I'm not sure where to go. Additional suggestions also welcome!

Starting my parental journey, part 9

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...
