Laugh Out Loud Pinterest: A Day in the Life Sunday

I had a Pinterest account.

I overthought what to pin <focus Lisa, focus>, nothing struck my fancy and I deleted the account. I pop in every now and then to look at the pretty pictures and today, in between pins and blogs, I came across 2 laugh out loud pins/boards that I just have to share:

Laurie Ruettimann's board, Human Resources Should Stay Off Pinterest,

and then on another board, this:

Ha! Too funny.

I sort of want back into Pinterest so I can move freely around the site to window shop for baked oatmeal, lemon drop martinis and a new tote bag but the pining powers have not yet responded to my request for new invite.

Back of the line, lady!

Oh well. What I saw today was enough to keep my pin interest satisfied for a bit.

How about you . . . do you pin? What do you pin? Why do you pin? What's the best pin you've seen?

Federal HR, SilkRoad Technology and the HR Florida Social Technology Team

I love my job and I also love the opportunity to see HR professionals in action outside my workplace and my organization. I am so lucky that I get to do this. Here's where I'll be over the next few months:

It may seem odd, or very appropriate, for an HR leader whose battle cry is "ban the No. 2" moderate an HR Tech panel but that's just what I am about to do as a guest of LRP Publications for "Accessible Technology Solutions to Current HR Challenges."

The countdown begins for SilkRoad's third annual User Event! I'll be a guest of SilkRoad Technology speaking on a panel  about employee engagement. The best definition of employee engagement I read was just yesterday from Kris Dunn and - heads up -  I plan to steal it shamelessly.

I have the honor of being a guest of HR Florida and an esteemed (!) member of the HR Florida Social Technology Team at the 2012 HR Florida Conference and Expo. I am thrilled just thinking about it and can't freaking wait!

Let me know if you are going to be at any of these events. I'd really enjoy meeting you.
