Welcome to HR Pockets

Why HR POCKETS?
As you follow along you’ll notice that I’m uncaringly sarcastic, which I think translates to comedic and this will help you understand the choosing of “hrpockets” as the title of this blog. My husband has successfully transformed me to this lover of comedians, one of them being Jim Gaffigan. On a very memorable road trip with […]Read More
