I'll look for the bearded baldheaded guy in the back. I'm a bearded guy with dark hair. I'll probably be wearing my glasses instead of contact lenses because the air in the opera house makes them burn holes in my retinas.<BR/><BR/>I've always loved the assumption by managers that if "diversity" or "treating people with courtesy" is news to them, then it obviously must be to the minions down below.

Look for the bearded, bald dude running around with a camera trying to look inconspicuous and introduce yourself.<BR/><BR/>As for "diversity," if I hear that word again in relation to non-white people, I'm going to puke. It was even brandished around at the Academy Awards last night, which was truly stupid. The most absurd corporate use I've seen was at a Wells Fargo conference where the all-white top management was telling the 90% "diverse" branch managers that they all had to focus on "diversity."Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22361479.post-69388862076733189842007-02-25T21:49:00.000-08:002007-02-25T21:49:00.000-08:00Vick, thanks for reminding me that unemployment me...Vick, thanks for reminding me that unemployment means dodging the looming diversity seminars.
