Thanks to the petty preoccupations of employers and employees alike, human resources can be a pretty joyless function at the best of times. So Guru was delighted to stumble across a notice on the Evil HR Lady blog announcing that "the next Carnival of Human Resources will be held on Wednesday, 18 April".

Guru is not sure what a Carnival of Human Resources is, and has asked the Evil HR Lady for clarification. Will there be an Human Capital Carousel, a Recruitment Roller Coaster and Disciplinary Dodgems?
These carnivals seem to take place every fortnight. Just be sure to log on to Evil HR Lady later this week for all the fun of the HR fair.
Guru is intrigued by Evil HR Lady, immediately imagining her to be some sort of sadistic dominatrix specialising in 'personnel services', shod in nail-heeled stilettos and a wielding a leather riding crop.
Guru has been a very, very bad human resources expert and needs a strict course of performance management.
