  1. Dearest Cliff,

    Shirley is wise and knows some of the best quotes around. I can’t think of another place where I could find such a great collection! She’s a smart gal but she’s definitely never worked in HR.

    To successfully embrace HR you must believe people are inherently good, you must chase 14 rabbits at once while eating lunch, and police are the enemy. I like Shirley but she’s got a thing or two yet to learn.
