It's HR stupid

I was talking the other day with my old highschool friend, Dana, who works with HR departments globally to get their placements settled down in Asia. Since my most recent project was similar, working with embassies and multinationals in Beijing, I wanted some tips on the HR department's needs.

"Corbett, I just need to correct you, so you don't sound stupid. It's 'HR' not 'H&R'."
"Really I said H&R?"
"Yup, a couple times."
"Doh. I guess I'm so used to the music business where I've been working so long with A&R people....it just comes naturally. I'll drop the '&' for sure, thanks."

After we got through the business of HR, we had a chance to catch up on old classmates. It turns out that all of us went entreprenurial ways. I pointed out to Dana that we were also all members of the same club in high school, DECA, which is an association for students and teachers of Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship, which I was president of.

The most entreprenurial one of us is now Martha (who is quite tall, and quite hot), who has a business in surburban New Jersey selling sex toys at marketing parties for housewives in their homes. Kind of like Tupperware with a kinky twist.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
