Georgie smiled when she finished. Inez couldn't help but smile as Georgie introduced herself and gushed about her love of Muggles. "Well it's nice to meet you Georgie, and I'm glad you are so enthusiastic about our non-magical counterparts, you were definately placed in the right position it seems." Quote:

When she was done, he quickly but gracefully stood up. "Hello everyone, my name is Rylan Seong" he said and bowed for his boss and employees. He was raised with manners. "I may look asian but i was actually born in England." he clarified this first before the other's started to ask where he was from.
"I attended Hogwart's school and was sorted in to Hufflepuff" what else. "I am currently twenty six year's old and before this i never had a full time job" Meaning, this was his first real job. "You probably wonder what i have been doing these past few years" because there were quite a few years in between his graduating and his age now.
"I had rich parent's who said i didn't needed to work, so i did what i wanted for myself and that was going on vacations and spending money..alot..." he sighed deeply as he straightened his tie out of habit. "This clearly was a mistake from me and a test from my parents because i soon ran out of money" hence that he was here now working...the money. And he had so learned about this.
"I applied at the ministry a few weeks ago and had gotten an comformation owl that i was selected as the new Floo/Fireplace Connections/Repair Worker."
He looked around at the other employee's before continuing. "I hope we can get along well" he said, a small smirk on lips as he looked at the woman he had met at the coloured umbrella café. "Thank you for listening" he added while looking back and bowed one last time. The first thing the Department Head noticed about Rylan was that this man was polite and knew a great deal about manners--something she valued very highly and things that were great for the workplace.
"Well its always good to have people around that know how to work to better their mistakes and again it is very nice to meet you Rylan." She was glad to have him in her department so far. Quote:
Originally Posted by iBeJenn Katrina listened carefully as everyone introduced themselves - she would try harder to remember their names this time, for sure. Last time... it hadn't gone so well. She was patient as Rylan and Georgie both introduced themselves and when the two were finished, Katrina took a sip of her coffee before standing and straightening out her blazer.
"Good morning, welcome to all of you new employees," Katrina started as she looked at all of them. This was definitely different, she couldn't remember doing this... ever. "I'm Katrina Rayne, and I graduated from Hogwarts about five years ago as a Slytherin," she continued. That was a good start, right? It wasn't as long as the Department Head's yet... yet, being the key word. Oh dear Merlin, she hoped she didn't stumble any words! How embarrassing would that be?
Katrina kept her hands at her side, trying not to fidget with the watch around her wrist. "I'm currently twenty-two and I've been in the Department of Magical Transportation for about three years now. Upon arriving at the Ministry, I worked as a broom regulator, but then I was switched over to work as the Apparition Written Examiner," Katrina paused slightly before continuing again. "But now, with Miss Grey's promotion, I am now the Senior Apparition Examiner and Supervisor," Katrina finished with a smile.
And to finish it off... "And, as you'll soon realize, I'm quite a... fan of coffee..." Maybe fan was just an understatement. "But I do hope we all get along and I look forward to working with all of you even if we do not work under the same division," Katrina said, smiling at all of them. She was genuinely excited to work with all these new people with new faces. Katrina sat back down in her seat, took a sip of her coffee, continued to smile and waited for the next person to stand and introduce themselves. Hearing Katrina's story in person only confirmed Inez's initial belief that this was a young woman of strength and power in her career and again reaffirmed her pleasure of giving her a promotion.
"Coffee is quite a crutch sometimes isn't it?" She chuckled along with the woman, and nodded that her introduction was perfect. Quote:

"I'm Leo Black, I've been with Magical Transportation for two years now. I'm a huge Quidditch fanatic, and I work in Broom Features Development." Obviously. That was the only place to work if you wanted to create cool brooms.
He flashed a quirky smile. "I graduated from Gryffindor House in Hogwarts four years ago. I have one little sister, and, um" what else was he supposed to say? It sounded as if everybody else's introductions had been much longer. "That's about it. I'm really pleased to be working with all of you." There. That was a good closing. Ooh a Gryffindor and a Quidditch fan. This man must be a thrill seeker and quite brave. Well if, Merlin forbid, something happen in the office perhaps Inex could count on him to help her out.
"Well spoken, its good to meet you Leo." She smiled brightly at him and then turned her attention to the next person to speak. Quote:

She didn't want to mention her husband it was too painful still. O___o
"Oh.. um Victoria I am so sorry to hear about your parents. That really is a horrific thing you've had to experience. But I hope things are better for you now." Wow, Inez hadn't been prepared for that answer at all and was just glad she was able to speak at all.
Clearly the poor dear was having some problems and Inez hoped she would feel comfortable enough to express them to her later if she needed to. "Its nice to meet you Victoria, dear." Quote:
Originally Posted by tomewitch So, Miss Grey then. That means their new Department Head wasn't married yet right? Eliza looked around and decided to not just ask the question, it was becoming a bit more personal..
Then, introductions. One by one, the new and old employees had said their piece. She listened of course and tried to remember every bit about her co-workers. When it was her time to speak, she stood up. Breathe. "Well..good morning..again," why..she couldn't remember doing this when Recard was still in charge. "And welcome to our new fellow employees, I'm Eliza Lallayne Tohsaka. But please feel free to call me Liz. I'm half Japanese and half American. And like Ms. Rayne here," she took a quick glance at Katrina's direction, "I also graduated from Hogwarts five years ago and I'm also currently twenty two years old." She nodded.
She was done right? Ah..ending. "I do hope we'd all be able to work efficiently in the future," she said. And after giving a smile as she moved her head around, she returned back to her seat. Inez offered another kind smile to the young Broom Shop Liason. "Well it's wonderful to have you with us Liz. And I hope things all work out efficiently too."
These meet and greet introductions were going quite well if she did say so herself! Quote:

"I'm Jayden Monroe." he said introducing himself. He gave a little wave and a little nod. "I've been in this department for... 6 years now." And he was still amazed that he'd managed to stay in one place that long.
What else could he say? "I enjoy traveling." And he was easily distracted by anything shiny. But that probably wasn't the best thing to mention in front of his new boss.
"And I'm recently engaged." In case anyone didn't hear his squealing and giggling announcement a few months prior. "Oh my, well you've been here for quite some time Jayden." That really was impressive, the man who held the Department Head office before she did was there for 10 years--Jayden was just below that.
Oh and an engagement?! "Oh how lovely, I would love to meet you fiance one day soon." She said with a bright smile. Inez did love weddings even though her past engagement hadn't ended very well. Quote:

''I am, Lana Braxton, I was born in America, I attended Hogwarts witch craft and wizardry, Where I was then sorted into Gryffindor,'' Erm... ''I'm twenty six! I am currently new to this department and I am now a Broom Shop/Company Liason,'' Seemed to be enough she didn't want to give the whole background story and the other personal stuff just.. Basics would do It seemed that many of her employees were all around the same age which, she hoped, meant they would all work together quite well. They were past the fighting and bickering teenage years at least.
"Its wonderful to meet you Lana and again welcome to the Ministry of Magic." smiles all around. Quote:

Rose smiled and gave a small wave. "Well, hello everyone. I'm Rose Wallace and I'm twenty-nine years old. I've been working in this department for almost two years now. I started out as a Portkey registration and Record Keeper and with the recent promotion by Miss Grey, I'm now the Portkey Supervisor General." Yep, this is good.
"I'd like to offer my best wishes to Jayden here on his recent engagement. I got engaged recently as well." Rose grinned, trying not to laugh or squeal or just jump around. Needless to say, that would be embarrassing. Again the second promotion she had handed out upon taking up the role of Department Head was met with no regrets. Inez listened intently as Rose told her story of employement at the Ministry and she nodded at the woman when she ended.
"I look forward to seeing your work Rose." She was sure it would be perfect.
So now that everyone had introduced themselves the atmosphere in the conference room wasn't as stuffy and informal as it was when she first arrived. Then only a few people had been talking but now she hoped everyone felt as if they were part of the Magical Transportation family. "Ok well now that we are finished with the introductions, I think it would be safe to move on to some matters of business." She nodded pulling a folder to rest in front over her on the tabletop. "Now it has come to my attention after reading through some work files from the previous months Mr. Recard had placed a heavy emphasis on the Apparition Division and specifically the testing of Magical Law Enforcment employees. Whilst doing this production and hours were ignored in the other three remaining divisions. This is unacceptable and will be corrected."
She looked up at these words with a curt nod. They were not in trouble; it hadn't been their fault their boss had been more worried about unnecessarily testing perfectly qualified members of another department as if they were adolesants and letting Porkeys, Floos, and Brooms fall to the wayside. "With the two promotions of Miss Katrina Rayne and Miss Rose Wallace, I hope to ensure a better more structured leadership and production in all the departments." "Miss Smith will continue to head up the Floo Network Authority which leaves the matter of the open Supervisor position in Brooms. I have purposefully left this position open because I would like to fill it with one of you broom regulatory employees after seeing how well you work." She grinned. Inez was confident in each and every one of them.
The Department Head let her gaze fall on all of them as she scanned the room. The meeting was beginnning to come to an end soon, it wasn't meant to be a long one, for she planned to meet with them again soon about more specific tasks once they were posted. "Now if there are not any questions, the meeting will be dismissed after my final announcements." "My office door is always open if you wish to speak to me about matters of personal life, work, or you would simply just like to chat." She was a human being too. She liked to have company. "And most importantly I will be posting beginning tasks and jobs for you all tomorrow on the Announcements and Tasks board for you all to begin on. Further instruction will be given on those with their posting."
Phew, this was a long spout of lecturing. "If you don't have any questions you are free to go ahead and make yourself at home in your new desks or grab a bite to eat in the breakroom and get your self aquainted with each other." OCC: I know its a super short meeting but once tasks are posted this weekend, work will begin and Inez will be about helping and talking to everyone about what all they will need to do. This was just a bit of introduction-type stuff to get you all welcome and to allow Inez to meet you all and lay down the rules and let you know she is going to try and fix the Cult's wrongs in the department. |
