Taking second place only to the day after Thanksgiving, this is one of my favorite days to be in the office. Quiet and conducive to catch-up and clean-up work, it’s the ideal work day for anyone overly-tied by the presence of human beings at this tail-end of the year (or in my case any damn given day of every year, take your pick).
An entire year of working in Human Resources, added upon the previous nineteen years of HR work, comes with a certain exhaustion, especially for those of us who find human interactions relatively low on our priority list. Some careers choose those with the most to learn, to challenge and expand our views of the word, and hopefully we can give a fresh and unorthodox viewpoint of established practices. I’m not sure how much of the above has been accomplished, but I keep at it, I keep trying, and on days like today I keep endeavoring to make things a little better for all of us keeping at it.
