She was definitely the kind of woman who had a voice that carried.

"Alright we'll get started now." It was nine am on the dot as she spoke. "I'm hoping this meeting won't take too long, but we do have a lot to cover." She paused and looked around.

"For those of you whom I haven't yet met, and those of you who aren't so quick on the uptake," Which she hoped were few and far between since she didn't really want to employ fools, "I'm Althea Schirmer. I trust you've all read the most recent memos and know a bit about my background, because unless there are any particular questions I'm not going to wax lyrical about myself right now when we have work to do, collectively as a department."

She smiled. Pleasantly. Mostly.

"This is also an opportunity to meet our newer employees, all of whom are well suited for their jobs -you can be sure of that." Althea wasn't in the business of hiring dunderheads. So, they were good. Any applications that came her way that weren't up to scratch she'd handed off to other departments. No deadweight in DMAC.

"I'm sure you've all noticed the heavy remodelling going on in Level 3, its almost all complete now, though you can expect some changes in the work areas - which we will discuss today as I'd like some input regarding what you'd all like to see. I'll also talk to you about the new facilities which I expect you all to make use of, and if anyone has any particular requests in that regard, please let me know."

Her quill was taking minutes quite religiously.

"We'll also discuss the WARN assessments and I'd like to work with each of you to set some work standards and performance indicators that we can all agree on as a minimum here in Accidents and Catastrophes." She said briskly, but paused to allow them all to digest.

"I'm also happy to arrange for anyone who is interested for St Mungos courses in Magical Workplace first aid. So let me know if that sounds like you." Mmhmm.

"Does anyone have any particular questions about the most recent memos on the announcement board before we get into things today?"

Aiden's head whipped up as he was addressed by the department head, Ms. Schirmer if remembered right. He gave her a lopsided grin and a nod in thanks and greeting. He hated being late and was glad to know that he wasn't. Being late on your first day of work never makes a good impression.

His grey eyes scanned the faces of his fellow Accident's and Catastrophes employees while listening to the boss lady start the meeting. He didn't recognize anyone present and made a mental note to change that. Back at the University he had known everyone and had been friends with everyone. In his experience that made for a far better work environment. His attention swung back to Althea, at which point she was talking about the WARN assessments.

He wasn't very interested in the rest of what she said since it was going to be open for discussion at some point. The first aid class was a moot point for him as well since all of his certs were up to date, they had to be in his previous work place. When she opened the floor for questions he waited till the room got quiet before posing his.

He leveled the boss with an even stare. "I took a look around to get a feel for the place and to see the renovations going on. I poked my head into the Training room and couldn't help but notice the lack of work space for Toxicology. If we are going to be keeping up to date samples and testing for contamination sites we are going to need a work area as well."

This certainly wasn't the lab back at the University but he would still need a good place to work if he was expected to do his job right. And Aiden always did his job right.
