Forklifts and High Heels.

I had high hopes heading into New Hire Orientation today.  I mean, technically I'm not a new hire.  I'm an old hire.  I know how the Academy rolls, so I wanted them to tell me something new.  Like about how we're going to be a Division II sports school with Jamie Williams, former 49er at the helm?  Or how we managed to get Jan Yanehiro to be the Director of our new Media and Communications department.  Or purchased all that property in San Francisco and stuck our red logos all over?

But I got the human resources safety video on forklifts and high heels instead.  And the sexual harassment one.  Both still on VHS tape, produced sometime I'm guessing in the 80's.  Pure cheese.  But somehow the cheese still cracks me up.  I managed to maintain my professionalism, however.

Sometime in between those videos our Benefits manager walked in.  I recognized him from high school.  Good thing it wasn't like an old prom date or something.

Went down to A/V yesterday and the guy remembered my name.  "Yeah, I'm still here" is what he said to me.  Glad to see some things don't change.

I have my old job back, yes!
