Made an "insensitive comment" at the office today. Said, James Bond can't be a woman if James Bond is a guy. Psyching myself for the upcoming HR classes.

Is safe to say that James Bond is just an alias and not a spy real name. So it could be gender fluid. Using Ian’s Flaming work to back this is a bad idea. James bond was originally set in the 50s, so having a modern day james bond is already an adaptation and any other modification on the original is valid including a gender swap.

However I personally think if they want to make a woman 007 they should use the number code but different character, having james as the new Moneypenny.

I would recommend grabbing any copy of Ian Fleming’s work who created James Bond the character. You’ll be able to quickly back your assertion that Ian Fleming created James Bond as a man.

Watch me! If James uses he/him pronouns, I have the right to call him a man.

What's the point of the training? It's unnecassary to begin with and it's not going to change your mind.

I remember when asked about this topic Daniel Craig said he didn’t like the idea of James Bond becoming a woman. Instead the industry should write more stories with female roles.

I don’t disagree completely with him, but he misses a point. Any fictional character are like name said, imaginary, and can be reimagined whatever way possible.

Hollywood is a entertainment industry, they are constantly making remakes because it’s easier to sell to a crowd that is already familiar with this universe and if suddenly it is clear that a female james bond would make money they absolutely should (and will) do it, instead of trying to create a whole new character as charming as this one from scratch.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

Our company of 110 EEs has separate providers for payroll and HRIS, not happy with either products. I’m gathering data to make a pitch to move everything into an all-in-one HRIS + payroll.

Does it make any difference to make the change effective the first week of 2023 payroll, or to make a change in payroll providers mid year? I’m thinking it’s best to start fresh at the beginning of the year and not worry about two payroll companies for reporting. What are other things to consider?

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!
