An awesome band. Although they are supposedly a 'christian' band, the rockin music is anything but and many fans will tell you how they aren't. A very little known band that should be more popular.

Me: It's awesome though right?
(Friend who only listens to christian music): Hell yeah! They rock!
Have ever looked around your company and noticed how many team leaders and lower management tick diversity boxes? These people are diversity hires. All big corporations have quoters for diversity they need to meet and by hiring and promoting people who tick the right boxes the HR team can feel they are fighting for social justice
My new ream leader is a diversity hire. Totally useless but the company will cover for him as he's black and gay
Someone underqualified for a job but hired anyway purely because they have a great personality/attitude. Personality hires are often very low performers in terms of output but are brought on because of bias / attraction / an effort to boost morale.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
