This is kind of weird to ask. But I'm the only new director in my cluster and I'm getting worried about not having anyone to talk to or "hang out" during the Director events.
My AD and I don't get along and she is one cranking witch. So I don't want to be around her.
So if yo see me looking lost take me under you wing please.
Gosh I sound sad.:cry:

Ida, you are more than welcome to sit with me. You know what I look like--just see your March CN. :D I'm also very loud--a loud talker and I laugh a lot and very loudly, so you can't miss me. We're both in wave 2. :)
