Still me, just over here now. Still hipster about unicorns. Still HR fairy. Way more hair than gender. My chosen pronouns are the definite article.

I'm SO TIRED I feel like I've been kicked in the face, but the little cat does not want me to nap. Every time I try, I get a gentle but persistent little tap tap on my arm.

Got a PA job after uni, shared an office with the HR administrator. Everything she was doing looked so much more fun than my job, and she got to hear all the secrets. So when she retired, I slid neatly sideways into her role and have somehow kept getting promoted ever since.

Shout out to Penny, a real MVP, who let me drag her around Coventry and Leamington Spa in the pouring rain today.
