Multi-cultural workforce....

Two interesting anecdotes from my workplace.

I'm on a mini-team with a woman and a man. The man is a Mormon.

The woman is our team leader. The topic of the holiday baskets being sent out to the team came up. Thing is...the holiday baskets have non-kosher wine (and the Mormon guy doesn't drink, obviously).

Leading a team in the multi-cultural era, I suppose.

Later, I was walking with the same woman and an Indian colleague of mine. We each told the story of how we met our spouse.

The Indian's was an arranged marriage. Mine was through the synagogue. Hers was through a friend.

We got engaged after three months, she after 6 years.

Just an interesting set of stories and lives that converge in the modern American workplace.
