Why is it that people who work in HR have such an attitude? Whenever I speak with any of them, it's almost as if the wheels are turning in their heads, choosing which words to speak and being super-vague and political in the way they speak, always resorting to sanitised corporate speak. Not sure why, they have always come across as ingenuine. I am sure not all HR folks are like this, but I have yet to meet a genuine, warm and friendly HR person.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree.
