Hello, it's Friday and officially summer. Yay. Oh my gosh. Wow. Happy summer. I'm actually, well, technically not when this will come out, but I will be heading to the beach tomorrow. When this comes out, you'll be that person at a happy hour

that has like their laptop at the bar, like trying to get the last things done. I know you are, Jamie, right? Oh yeah. No, of course. I'm bringing my laptop. All right. Yeah.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, I'm bringing, I'm bringing both of them too. The work laptop and the personal laptop because there's double work to be done. I meant all the work getting ready for vacation for you to take your vacation, Jamie. That never happens. It can't. You're choosing for it not to happen. Yes, it's true. I'm too important. I'm just kidding. I know, right? Work's done, gone to your head. Are you really taking those laptops to the

beach? Yeah. Oh my gosh. My husband already asked. He was like, because obviously we want to at least take one of ours because like, you know, in case we're probably going to do a dolphin cruise and deep sea fishing and that way we can ruin your laptop by falling in the water. I know I'm not getting the connection. No, no. I mean, just like make the reservations and stuff on the... I'm an elder millennial. So like sometimes...

Like you book flights on the big computer? Yes, you have to do it on the big computer and not the little screen, not the little computer. Not that I can do it, but I just, I'm very, I like to have my laptop. So I was like, oh, I'm bringing both the work and the personal. I'm surprised you don't call to make reservations. I could see you as a person that calls to get the details. You're a details person.

No. I know. I prefer, like even my husband used to make fun of me way back in the day, like before you could order a whole lot of pizza even online. Like remember when you used to actually have to call the store? I would try to avoid it. Like I would be like, you do it. The only time I've been to Mardi Gras, when I was like 23 and in my traveling meeting with heads of HR around the country, God knows why, I booked a meeting on the Wednesday after

Mardi Gras in New Orleans. And so I flew in on a Tuesday and went to my hotel. I mean, obviously it was like crazy. It was a lot of fun. But one of my friends, he lived in New Orleans, he's like, come out and meet me. I was thinking we'd go out to dinner. Dummy. Like that was, there was a lot being consumed. None of it was food. And so I was like, oh, so I'm like, well, I'm going to leave and go back to my hotel. Like like walking through all the debauchery, all these things, I get back to my hotel, I'm like, what am I going to do? Thinking I would find something to eat. I open up my laptop and I went to PapaJohns.com and tried an order.

I did. I ordered a pizza. It never came. It never came. And then I was real stressed and had to like, you know, figure out how to get my refund. But I remember being, because I went online to try to see where I could order one from and it was like, you can order online. This was like 2005.

So it was the first time I'd seen that. Yes, see. But you didn't get it. So I was alone and hungry in New Orleans, which is, which, you know, sounds like a good romance novel. So I'm going to put that in the chat, GPT, my favorite, and have a new story. My first street fight was in New Orleans. Your first? Yeah. That's a story for another time there. But anyways, so it's officially summer,

isn't that great? And Jamie is headed to the beach, kind of. But where are you fucking bitches heading? I mean, you're working, y'all are, you're working at the beach. Jamie's changing her work location to the beach next week. Yes, basically. I'm quiet vacationing. Oh, girl. Jamie's going to be working with like the beach background, but it's going to be her actual background.

That's how committed Jamie is to her work. And then we are going, Ashley and I are going to SHRM, the SHRM conference. Chicago. Society of Human Resources Management, right, for those who aren't in HR that are listening. That's the big conference in our industry, like the largest, literally, globally for HR.

So that's how they tout themselves anyway. I don't know if it's true. I can't verify it. But it's in Chicago this year. I wish it was in Vegas. It's not. Shout out to Chicago though. Look forward to it.

I just- Oh, I love Chicago though. Love me a Vegas conference. But we are excited to go. It's a bit last minute, but you know, sometimes that's how we roll. I'm excited and it's like, I got a little back to back travel in the midst of this. I am currently meeting flying back to the meeting, going to on a trip this weekend with

my daughter and a friend. I'm coming back and heading to Chicago and for like, I'm only going for like 24 hours. Oh, I know, if even. Right? Or no. Almost exactly. No, it is. It's 26 hours or something. Exactly.

Very good. See, we are a math podcast. I mean, the world's largest conference. We need to start claiming things about this podcast. Oh, I know. I put one this weekend, remember? I said the most authentic HR podcast. Did you see it? Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that.

So Ashley and I are part of a Facebook group on, well, I was going to say on Facebook. On the Facebook. Facebook.com, Jamie-only access. Yeah, the Facebook. Anyway, it's called, and I love this group to be completely honest, not only is it a great community for HR professionals, but you just get like, it's just funny and it's supportive, but it's called the Evil HR Ladies. And anyway, so I posted, it was off topic weekend. So I posted about the podcast and then Ashley upstaged me and she posted about her and Lee going to Shurm.

And the amount of interaction y'all got on that post was incredible. And it made me so excited. But then my FOMO was like, is raging. Well, I included you in the picture. I didn't X you out. I know, I know. I do appreciate that. That would have been funny if you did though. Like put an X over my face. Like, God damn! That's what we need to do. We need to manufacture some drama within the... Oh my God, no, don't. People would eat that shit up. Why isn't Jamie? Why isn't Jamie coming? Because she's working.

Yeah, because she's working at the beach. Well, no, you could say if people don't listen to this podcast, they might not know that I'm at the beach. Yeah, that's a good point. So, okay. We can talk shit next week at Shurm. Y'all kicked me out of the group. Stir up some shit.

Be real promotional. Lashly, lash, lash podcast. No, Jay Lash, just lashed. No, it's, okay. We're gonna miss you, Jamie. Yeah. Oh, I mean, duh, but y'all are gonna have so much fun though. Yeah, yeah's okay. We're going to miss you, Jamie. Yeah. I mean, duh. But y'all are going to have so much fun though.

Yeah. We're going to make the most. We're going to make the most. I did switch my flight because I was supposed to be going in on Monday at like 7 a.m. Y'all know I'm not a morning person. So I would have to wake up at like, I don't know, 5 45 or something to catch that 7 a.m. Whatever the hell the math is, because I live like five minutes from the airport.

When are you going in now? So I'm flying in on Sunday because you see, you know how I had bad canceled vacations all the time? I've had like three canceled vacations this year, but I was going to Mexico City with my friend Mike this weekend and we were leaving Thursday, getting back Sunday. So then I was flipping it and turning around and going to Chicago.

But now there's a fricking tropical storm coming in. You know what I mean? So it's all hell's breaking loose in the Gulf. So I have to cancel my Mexico City trip, which sucks, because I can't wait. We're basically copy pasting Netflix's Taco Chronicles documentary, like going to all the places, you know, but so we'll have to go back there.

But now I'm coming in Sunday night. So shout out if there's anything going on Sunday in Chicago, because I'm just going to fly in and then order Papa John's. In college, we used to like we used to think it would be funny. This is how cool I was in college. We would use like a voice changer and we would call up the Papa Johns and order the pizza with like the voice changer. Like, give me my papa. I need my papa. Like the talk boy. Yeah, exactly. Like the home alone. Home Alone, two things. Okay. That's what you do.

She was doing this in college. Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. Bless. That's what you do in Danville, Kentucky. Liberal Arts School. I believe it. Yeah. Me at an SEC school, University of Tessie. Yeah. That's all no comment. And I survived. That's all I have to say. I survived. I was not ordering pizza with a voice changer.

I was ordering pizza and then I was blacked out, passed out, drunk, like halfway on the driveway and I missed the pizza coming, you know, and shit like that. I'd order pizza, just be stacking up at the door. I just miss him picking up the next morning at like noon, opening the door. But anyways, good times. Good times. We're going to Shurm. Good times. Good times. We're going to SHRM. We are excited. So drop us a note.

Follow us on Instagram at HRBestiesPod because we'll be putting in stories where we are. We'll give you live geo feed tracking. Yeah. And I know we've been asked if we're doing a meet and greet, but like I said, it kind of came upon we weren't planning to go because we were going to be doing a meet and greet

on the way. So we're going to be doing a meet and greet on the way. So we're going to be doing a meet and greet on the way. So we're going to be doing a meet and greet on the way.

So we're going to be doing a meet and greet on the way. So we're going to be doing a live geo feed tracking. Yeah. And I know we've been asked if we're doing a meet and greet, but like I said, it kind of came upon, we weren't planning to go because of vacations and whatever else, you know, whatnot. But now we're going. But no, so we don't have some official event, which sucks, you know? So you'll just have to chase us down. Next year, though. Next year. Next year. Yeah, we did have some official events in the works,

but then with Jamie's vacation, we literally wanted to honor her vacation. So that's why we were like, we're not going to go. And then like true besties, we had our like sight. I know, right. Literally. I thought we had put this to bed because I was going to miss part of my vacation. It was already planned. Matter of fact, my mother-in-law is now coming with us on vacation because we thought that I was going, she was going to help my husband with the kids because we thought that I was going to Sherm. But then we were like, no, we're not. And then next thing you know, these bitches. No, we are. Yeah, it's true. I'm just kidding. I had the opportunity to go last minute as well. And

I was like, you know what? I'm going to do my thing with my family at the beach. So take that opportunity maybe further and figure out a way to not bring your work laptop, have your personal, you know, big old desktop. I assume you're going to bring a desktop computer and plug that in. Wouldn't that be funny? To book the things. They would. No.

But what you can do to set it up and have that really be a vacation. I would love that. I would love that for me, but it's open enrollment. Open enrollment essentially is in July, actually. So it's like the preparing of the plans and everything prior to. So I didn't pick the best time for a vacation. The summertime at the beach, maybe they didn't pick the best time for a vacation. Summer time at the beach. Maybe they didn't pick the right fucking time for open enrollment.

I mean, what the fuck in summer? You know, Jones, my 11 year old, made the middle school football team and they practice the entire summer. However, there's a dead period and it's two weeks out of the year. So when we booked this vacation in January, we were just hoping he made a team because he tried out for basketball as well. And so the dead period is literally next week, which is the 24th and then the week of 4th of July. So like there was never, you know what I mean?

There's not a good time. You just kind of have to. Slim Pickens. Yeah. Yeah. You just got to do to. Slim pickings. Yeah. Yeah. You just got to do it and then enjoy it. Well, Lee, you love a good conference. What's your conference strategy?

What's good swag? Do you love good swag? What are we going to do? Are you going to be my tour guide and directing the show? No, I was planning to use you as a wing woman to be honest, because you're an extrovert and I'm an introvert. So at conferences, I typically, I'm in a group of some sort of protection, because I am very introverted.

So like when you see me, I'll be acting. It'll be hard for me. It'll be very draining for me to be around that many people like that. I will enjoy myself a thousand percent. It's just I'm an observer of things, right? And I'm piecing everything together and it's like, oh, it's a lot happening. So I will be on. I will be acting.

And so I will be just, ah, like an interacting and like at work, right? Because I had to do the same thing at work, which a lot of people do, and I choose how I show up. So I'll be choosing to show up very positive and bubbly and I will be on medication. I will be on a lot of medication to get through it. Not because I'm sick, but for my anxiety and ADHD and all that stuff, you know what I mean?

So that I can perform for people that come up to me and want to engage in conversation, you know? So that is my conference strategy. It's a lot of meds. What else is it? I have to be partnered with somebody or else it's like too hard for me because it's really hard for me to make the intro because I am awkward. I'll just go up and be just overly direct. So I have to, you know? I can be kind of weird. I don't know if you all could tell by my channels

or anything, but my content. But I'm really like that in real life. So it makes being in the real world kind of difficult at times, you know? So people that think it's funny, cute and charming, I'm very thankful for, you know? But other people think it's weird as fuck. So should I get on your back, like a piggyback? Should I do a piggyback and go around and I'll be like the mascot? I thought more a lock arm is what I thought of.

Ooh, and skip. I thought of a lock arm, but I will be in the middle of the aisle and I'll be like the mascot. I thought more a lock arm is what I thought of. Ooh, and skip. I thought of a lock arm, but I will be in the middle of the aisle and you'll be on the booth side. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to push you out to the first interaction. Like a child, you want to block them from the traffic, but I'll be on the booth side to be having some of those interactions. Yeah, like you just started. Damn. I'll be on the booth side to be to be having some of those interactions. I mean, I like I'm

damn I I'm flying in. I'm getting up early Monday morning. I am a morning person. I wake up and I am ready to go. I wake up like Disney movie popping up with the birds ready to go. Me too. Now, do you use snooze? Because I do not know. No, no, no. Absolutely not.

Like snooze has never been a thing for me. No, I've had times where snooze because I do not. No, no, no, absolutely not. Like snooze has never been a thing for me. No, I've had times where snooze is a thing. But no, look, I like to get up and move on with life. I get a little aggressive in my wake up, everybody lights on, like, you know, let's go. I'll probably fall asleep on the plane. So I'll drool there and I'll be coming in and we'll be we'll be a pair. But I did say on this Facebook post the other day, someone's like, oh, you guys are like celebrities. I'm like, oh, I'm dying. I'm like, well, the only way we're like celebrities is it's like the movie Twins. But Lee is Arnold Schwarzenegger. She got all the good stuff. And I'm DeVito. And we're here. We're going to be locking arms, albeit like chest-tight of Lee.

Yeah, it was just fun to say you'll be having to like raise your hand up just to reach her her stature. Yeah, I'm gonna have to wear my high heel. My high heel crocs. Your high heel crocs. Oh my gosh, to a conference. I need to know outfits. Oh, you know my shit's all planned.

I'll probably be about 6'2". So I'll be about 6'2 in what I'm wearing. Is it weird that I have in my head like the coral dress for you? Well I'm doing the baby blue Ted Baker the first day. Yeah. See? What do you mean Ted Baker? Is that a designer?

Yeah, it's a designer. Is that a dress or a shirt? I'll be in dresses. Yeah, it's a dress. You're wearing dresses. I'm not wearing a dress. I'm always wearing dresses. I don't know shit about that.

I go to Walmart. Right. I was going to wear a t-shirt. Okay. Oh, you were? I guess I'll wear a top. Do that with a leg over. I thought you were kidding.

No, like at H.R. Besties. Wear that really cute blouse you got in San Antonio. Yeah. That's a good idea. Or wear your dress that you got in San Antonio. I might wear it on the same day at the beach. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my tiger dress. Oh gosh, I've really got to think about this now.

Okay, I will wear something. I already have my nails done, my toes done, everything's done. I've got all my purses to match, all that. My glasses, I'm just that way. I don't know. It has to make sense. I'm a good pack. I don't know. It has to make sense. I'm a good packer. I am too. Y'all, I've had Suitcase Open basically packed for three weeks.

Like it's behind me. It's not even okay. I have to know what I'm wearing so I know what packing cubes and compression cubes I'm using. And then I have to pair with shoes and then I plan the bag, all that. I'm a carry-on person. Now I haven't. I'm traveling a lot over the next few years then I plan the bag, all that, you know? I'm a carry-on person. No, I haven't. I'm traveling a lot over the next few years. I haven't packed at all. I haven't thought at all. I know.

No. How do you do that then? Because I mean, dang, you do. You have like three back-to-backs. I'm very efficient. Like you just go and do. Like in the moment you just do. Yeah, I like to set up my life like a reality show and make myself wait till the last minute.

It's live. It's live. And so it's like really highly pressurize myself and then text you all to be like, oh my God, it's one again. WTF and blah blah blah, get this shit. The consequences of my own actions. Here we are. Yes, yes.

I never learn. I thank you. I set myself up to fail and then I'm shocked when I do fail. So here we are. I just remember her luggage in San Antonio. It was like this ginormous. She had to check it. The whole closet.

She's like pulling out random Amazon packages. She packed the Amazon packages. She didn't even open the shit to know if the clothes fit or whatever. And what was the diaper, right? It was that leotard glitter diaper. Then we had the leotard diaper situation. Oh my God. You know, but you know what's funny is I swore I'd returned that.

I definitely did the thing to return it. I was like, oh, I returned it. I was so proud of myself. I turned other things. I found it in my closet the other day What did you return? What did you when you put something else in the mail? No, no, oh my gosh. Yes. I need to go and look and see I'm sure they like I literally I'm a somewhere that for sure It's Vegas of my

Big thighs will be busting out. Girl, don't you dare talk about your thighs being thick. Shit. I'm going to give you a baton. I'm going to give you a baton and then you go first down the walkway and you do some baton routine. I can twirl a baton, as you can imagine. At a basic level.

Clown camp. Exactly right. We learned it in clown camp. I used to walk down my street in college probably. Oh my God. Do y'all remember the ribbon dancers? Yes, I like those. Oh my God. Look at the 80s.

Yes, of course. Of course. They're still ribbening, aren't they? Yes. I have boys. I don't know about the rivetage. Well, we have parades. So I'm up to date on what the bands are doing. They're still ribbening. San Antonio has them for sure. Yeah. Have you all been watching the swimming trials?

Swimming and diving trials, by the way, Olympics? Are you all getting excited? Are you all Olympics people? No. Just when it's actually on. Okay. You don't watch the trials get excited. See, I don't pack. I don't pack.

I don't think I'm gonna advance on that, But I love to watch the trials and get excited. Other people be successful. Oh, true. Oh, that's so funny. No, I think we're going to have a great sherm. We're going to have a great sherm. What I would say is people, please, I mean, if you see us, come and say hi. You don't have to be a creeper from afar or anything. Don't creepily try to take pictures of them. Just come up and be like, hey. Yeah, it's okay.

I mean, you can just come. Well, I'm sorry. People get shy. They're only a hundred bucks a piece. It's fine. Just come on. A hundred bucks a piece. Oh, yeah.

Lee's Venmo is. Yeah, come take a picture. What's your feet price? Oh, I know my feet price. And they look good right now, people. I'm just telling you. Sure. She got a penny. Oh, damn. But yeah, just come and say, hi, don't worry about my resting bitch face. That's just how my face looks. It's fine. I'll do my best to smile. I'll make up for it. You'll be like, someone is overly enthusiastic.

I've sucked all the life and energy out of Lee. There's no middle. That's Jamie. That's the middle is Jamie. She's like that blend. So I'll be RBFing and she's on, I don't know, sunshine and rainbows, you know, like a little squirrel. Yeah. So, but it'll be fun. It'll be good. I'm going to have massive FOMO, but 2025 Shurm better watch the fuck out. That's all I got to say. And are you allowed at Shurm, Jamie, after your... Probably not.

After your HR divas. After how much I have dogged them the past couple of years. They had, I don't know if it's still in their store. I don't have a cease and desist yet. So. We see at the SHRM convention, the HR divas. Tell Johnny I said hi. Oh, I know. We've got to give them, you know, it's like the corporate speak.

We've got to give a little, you know, you've got to check a little bit. None of us are members, right? I used to be a member for a very long time. I think I am because, I'm not sure how that works, because my Manager 101 is SHRM certified, is gives PDCs. Oh, that's very cool. So you're an HR. So youerm certified, it gives PDCs. That's very cool. So you can get HR. So you can get 6.5 PDCs.

So if you want to find out, just ask me because we will have some little, I made some trading cards for HR Besties for Manager Method. Those are coming in route. So very, very excited about that. We put that together. You're prepared for that. You're not packed, but you see your business prepared. But she has trading cards.

It's important. Oh, don't forget the HR Besties stickers too. Yeah. Where are those? Do I have those still? Yes, you have those. Okay. All right. I have those. They're with that glitter diaper. I sent them to Amazon. Yeah, you sent them back to Amazon.

You packed your HR Besties shirt and stickers back to Amazon. Oh man, good times. We're going to have fun. Yeah, definitely say hi people. Should we do the good things? Should we do the good things? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This sounds like a real happy hour.

We'll just start talking the BS this week. I know. I know. This is a legit happy hour. Jamie, is yours going on vacation? Yeah, sorry. But I cannot wait to have copious amounts of seafood. What's your go-to?

I like crab legs actually. Yes. And I know I can get them at the Kroger down the street, but they're not the same. So we always stay in a specific condo and we'll eat breakfast and lunch in, but that's the one thing that we want to do, is we want to go out to eat every night. And so yeah, like if I could just get crab legs every single night, I would. Like the big ones?

Yeah. Those king crab or something? Yeah, the king crab. Can you have them or are you allergic to that too, Lee? I know you've not been tested. Yeah, it's one of those. I've had imitation crab, but what is that? Putty? I don't know, Play-Doh? I mean, whatever the hell that is. I mean, it's one of those. I've had imitation crab, but what is that? Putty? I don't know, Play-Doh? I mean, whatever the hell that is. I mean, it's not...

I think it's white fish, actually. It's not. It's rubber or something. Yeah, it's rubber. Yeah, it's like, right? It tastes like rubber. Yeah, it's not that good. I don't know. I don't really have a taste for that stuff because of the... Well, yeah, obviously. You could die. Death threat. But yeah, that, yeah. The EpiPen.

Yes, yes. What about you, Ashley? Anything you feel like you're doing? Good thing I'm, so this weekend I'm going with a girlfriend and our daughters. I'm going to Lake Lanier Islands in Georgia. And so if you're in Atlanta, you know, we can get to the beach, like, you know, the 30A, whatever beaches and all that, but you can get to a beach, like the 30A, whatever beach is and all that, but you can get to a beach even quicker at Lake Lanier.

They have a beach and a water park. They also have team events. They have team building events and things like that. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. They have a whole center that you can do that. Push Brenda in the water. She can't swim.

But I'm excited because it's an hour north and it's just our daughters took us to a coffee shop and did a PowerPoint presentation about renting a lake house this summer. And so we're not renting, we're just getting a little cabin there for the weekend, but I'm excited to have a getaway. Which Livy showed me the PowerPoint she did. And I was very impressed. It was good. I mean, it was convincing enough that I wanted to take her. Yeah, it was good.

It was really cute. And they were like, is the answer yes? I mean, we need to talk about it. They're like, next slide. It was like, thank you for saying yes. It was so cute. I'm like, how can you say no? That is how.

Bless them. Professional business women. So we're going, yes, we're going up there to check it out. A little staycation. Is that the place that's haunted? Wait, it is? Well, yeah. So yes, Lake Lanier.

Because I saw a documentary. Yes, yes. It's kind of a sad dark history. I'll Google it. What? Let's not get into it. Yeah, we won't. But if you want to Google, Google Lake Lanier history, now that Lee and Jamie

have both been to Atlanta multiple times, I will send them videos from like, there's like that ATL scoop, which is, you know, how we learned about the concert being canceled and the like, they have like stories and frequently they talk about Lake Lanier and they're like, it's a history. But it's like a big lake. Atlanta's a nice big lake, but it's a big one. It's the closest one to Atlanta. It looks gorgeous. Yeah. So I'll be warding off any type of bad and just have the good. Yeah. It's haunted as hell. Well, I was going to Mexico City and that was, I mean, just gorgeous, right? I was really excited about that. So now we'll put that off until probably July or August.

Hopefully we can slide that in. But my bestie, my other bestie, is still here all through the weekend. So it'll be rainy here because we're gonna get all that tropical storm crap in San Antonio. So we'll probably just eat and watch shows and stuff like that. That sounds kind of amazing stuff. It's not gonna get in the way of you coming to Shurm, is it?

No, no. In fact, it's perfect. I'm leaving earlier. So now I don't have anything to do Sunday night and you're not coming in. So now I just want the lake Lake Shore Drive. That'd be pretty. We'll let Thomas J. Henry and the private plane. He's going to fly you on. I need the private plane. Gosh, one day, one day. But super excited, super excited for your vacation, Jamie. I hope you enjoy it. Look at this. Ashley's busy weekend, my kind of busy-ish weekend.

And the germ. All the things. Damn. All right. Damn. Oh, gosh. All right. Damn. Oh gosh. All right, people. Well, we hope you enjoy your weekend too.

Indeed. Happy summer. TGIF.
