The Lion, the Bitch, and the Workshop

"It depends."

Those two words are a big part of why I don't fit into the corporate structure. They say they want people who are resourceful and creative, but they oh-so-very-much do not

you mean nobody in that room would have grabbed their phone and started recording video of the lion coming through the door? because that's what I would do. while sitting very, very still!

any lion walking through a 4th floor office building door, has met humans already and is probably at least half-tame. :) and cats are capricious anyway; they do not invariably attack. you just never know if they're going to or not. except that acting like prey increases the odds.

To be fair, this was a number of years ago, before smart phones, so the video option was not available. :P

ah, well, that does make more sense. my other answer would be, wait to see what comes after the lion. like, its handler?

[kathrynrose]

Well, seee... No more leadership conferences for you!

[yarrowkat]

good thing I work in the Art Department!  i got off lucky there. ;)

[kathrynrose]

Hah! very good. :)

[yarrowkat]

:-D i can't actually imagine anybody here thinking a leadership conference would be a worthwhile use for perfectly good money and time. mean, if a staff person wanted to attend one, probably nobody would stop them, but also probably we'd question its utility. but we're a large, financially struggling, extremely liberal Art Department in a large university, so maybe a veeeeeerrrry different work environment. ;)

[kathrynrose]

veeerrrrry different. :)
