I didn't know her, but I knew of her and what she had been when she was here in England." he shook his head "I worked my bum off to get where I was there and I turned down MANY positions so I could stay in as ambassador there. I didn't have to stay in IMC, but I wanted to. I wanted to stay here because it's where I belong. Heck my skills are over and beyond. I could be in A&C or MLE but I chose IMC because I enjoy the work. I certainly don't stay here to deal with this kind of thing but it's part of the job and I'll do what I have to." He shook his head, Becca could tell Charles more about what he put into this job than he could. She was irritated so much by how much he was barely home.

"I respect that you turned down the raise for more space to give yourself more space. I can't see you being like Stephen wanting a work out room or jacuzzi. I just have absolutely NO idea how to give you that! Without making others demand for the exact same thing." He knew the guy was close to tears with frustration he'd seen the same look in his own eyes "SIT DOWN!" he exclaimed when the man went to move to stand up "I have asked you, countless times back in the work areas and here, WHAT do you want me to do? What do you suggest???"
"I think we should ask your wife what her take is on that." He spoke quietly when Gid tried to make it sound like he'd got her the job. He'd heard somewhat differently. When Gid started saying about him choosing the department, Charles shook his head. He'd chosen to be here too. He'd wanted to be interacting with people a little more and to be able to make an actual difference.

He sat back down when he was told to, but bowed his head so Gid couldn't see his face. "I've already asked about the bigger offices you mentioned. You ignored me."

"What? That I'd suggested that she'd be a good fit for head of Magical Law in Italy?" he asked baffled. "Trust me I'd tell her that any time. I thought at the time she'd be a perfect fit and I still believe she was and still would be if we were still in Italy. She does the job a damn bit better than I do at mine here and if there was a choice if it came down to it, I'd suggest her for level 2 here as well if the spot ever opened up. I'd do everything I could to make sure she was given it for that matter."

"I didn't argue it even once. I said that you had chosen another spot. I have no problem with you taking one of those offices. I believe Cecelia is in the center one. Perhaps though we need a different layout. One to give you more space. And maybe even privacy?"

"That you've just said that so freely. Your wife is a strong minded woman and she wouldn't appreciate the way you just said that." Charles knew that much. He wasn't commenting on the job thing for Gid. "She does get the job done.

"I didn't even know about the offices that you're talking about." That showed how much he left his desk. "I would like that." That's all he'd been asking for in the first place. He JUST needed to be able to organise himself!

I stepped down from A&C to work in IMC in Italy. I regret it at times but I don't regret working in IMC and never will. Sometimes work does pay off though it'd be nice to be able to travel more."

"We'll work something out for that, for now if you wish. Take one of those offices, and I'll see what I can do in regards to that privacy part as well." he said quietly.

"It was what it seemed to be like to the rest of us." He spoke quietly. "That was how it came across and when you moved to IMC and got frustrated that you weren't doing any of your superhero stuff, you were a horrible person to be around. You treated us like we were utterly disposable. That's the main reason I took the other job offer." he linked his fingers together, but nodded when he was given the go ahead to take one of the offices. "Thank you." It could have been solved so easily if Gid had said 'Hey! There are offices there! Do you want one of them?'.

He stared at the man, and shook his head. Seriously? He'd kind of been happy to get out of all that! Super hero stuff. Right. He honestly had no idea what Charles was talking about. Well that explained why Charles had left and two why he'd been miserable when Gid had taken the position. He'd thought maybe it was because one he didn't like Gid, why who knew...and two that he hadn't gotten the position of department head after Gavin left. He knew Charles wouldn't have been the only one, there'd been a number of employees who'd been hoping for it, and he'd been chosen from another ministry instead and appeared joining the team as the head over everyone else.

"As I said I believe Cynthia's in the middle one, so feel free to take either of the other offices." he said quietly. Was this over? No more of the sarcasm? Right, that was a little more than he could expect to happen. At least Charles hadn't outright quit nor had Gid had to fire him. Respect? Pfft, right.

Nodding, Charles stood up. "Thank you." he repeated himself and then headed for the door. He wasn't going to apologise for anything he'd said before, he'd meant every word. It wasn't so hard for Gid to have just suggested this in the first place.

He sighed as Charles got up and left the office. This was becoming one large nightmare. Maybe now it was settled? He needed to work out the plan of the new layout. One office for each of the three divisions for the heads there. One office for himself big enough for small meetings to be held. The conference room...break room...testing room. And lot of cubicles. Right. He grabbed a piece of paper and moved to start drawing something up for a new layout.

Default Hello :)
Science Freak | Royalty in Love

A silver eagle, a patronus, flew in and circled around the ceiling and then swooped down towards the table and landed in front of the Department Head.

The voice of the Junior Undersecretary is heard saying,

"Greetings! I am sorry to be somewhat informal like this, but I would like to ask for an audience with you, Mr. Yenorin. It will be a simple meeting, nothing too pressing and at anytime at your convenience. Thank you very much. Yours truly, Zacharias McMillan"

The eagle scratched its beak then vanished.

Gid looked up as he dropped into his chair with another cup of coffee. Merlin what a toss of a day. He took a long drink and groaned as he saw a patronus appear. Please, just once... What next? First the argument, redoing cubicles, new employees, a kitten... As the patronus spoke, he sighed at least in relief that he wasn't being summoned once again. He took a note out rather than send a patronus as well. He scribbled a quick note and sent it off, indicating he was free hopefully when the Junior Undersecretary was ready. He figured it was in his office? Being he hadn't said a specific time.

Victoria had been making her rounds all week and her next stop with at level five. Taking her usual lunch break, but not going anywhere to eat she headed towards the reception area and then headed towards the office she was looking for. She knew the man's wife was running, but that didn't mean she couldn't come to speak with him. No, she needed to make it a priority to speak to these type of people. Not that she wanted to change his mind, because it was his wife, he should vote for her, but if she did win Vic wanted a good starting relationship with the man.

Adjusting her shoulder bag with her parchment and quill, she flattened her skirt and then finally knocked on the door. He would be in, wouldn't he? The receptionist wouldn't have sent her back to an empty office she hoped.

Gid had just sat down with his cup of coffee with a number of folders on his desk to go through in regards to the negotiations coming up. He needed to sort through which of his employees would be needed and get that paperwork out to them and set up a meeting to go over what he needed from each of them. He heard a knock and looked up "Come in." he called out, setting aside the folder and moving to stand up.

Hearing the words to bring her into the office, Victoria opened the door and slowly walked in. Her eyes scanning the room and noticing different things that could represent the person. There was one good thing about being a woman and a social person, picking out clues about the person they are about to speak to.

With a warm smile she extended her hand, "Hello Mr. Yenorin, my name is Victoria Culloden, Quiddich Division Manager and most recently one of the candidates for Minster. First I'd like to congratulate your wife for being up for minister as well." If there was one things Victoria was it was polite, respectful, and friendly. Unless someone pushed her to be otherwise of course. "I was hoping for a moment of your time."

When the woman walked in he stepped forward a kind smile on his face. He'd seen her around the ministry a few times, and was sure he'd seen her at the meet and greet as well. "It's a pleasure Ms. Culloden." he said kindly. His smile grew a little at the comment of congratulating his wife "Thank you, I'll make sure to let her know. I'm quite proud that she has taken to running for minister. It's quite a feat for anyone to do so."

"Of course. Won't you have a seat?" he asked, offering one either in the small seating area where it would be more comfortable or one of the chairs opposite his desk.

"Of course. Won't you have a seat?" he asked, offering one either in the small seating area where it would be more comfortable or one of the chairs opposite his desk.
"The pleasure is all mine." She nodded as he mentioned the feat of running for Minister. "Yes and I truly like the variety of the people that are running. It's nice to see the different backgrounds and interest." She could appreciate that even if they were her competition. She knew if she didn't end up winning she'd have to work under one of the other possible candidates so it was good to know your competition as well as your possible boss.

Looking to were he gestured she found a seat and set her bag down pulling out her parchment and quill. "Thank you and thank you for giving me some of your time. I hope you don't mind if I take some notes on what we discuss." She didn't want to forget anything he had to say. "Now I know your wife is running and I'm not here to try to win you over. I think it's wonderful to support your wife so well." She knew an exhusband of her own that would have never supporter her, good thing she her husband now fully supported and backed her.

"What I am here for is to find out what you feel is the most important thing you feel your department needs. I've been doing some research in all the departments, because I've always had an interest in all departments, but as a possible minister I want to know if I do get the position how I can better serve you. I feel being minister isn't about being a boss, but a team player. Every department head is a piece of that puzzle and you all run your departments brilliantly, so now it's my job to see how I can help you keep it running and bring it even more success."

"I do too, there's more of a choice, and more to really get to know about each one of the candidates." he said as he took a seat as well. "It definitely helps with deciding who might be the best fit for minister." He could definitely say there were a few that he wasn't too thrilled with that were running but he'd keep that to himself. He knew a few from previous encounters and it hadn't sat well with him.

"No not at all. Feel free." he said nodding when she hoped he wouldn't mind her taking notes. He didn't have any concerns about that, he took plenty of notes himself. He smiled and nodded "I understand." He would support her even if she had decided to run for head of maintenance, but felt she would do well as minister, as would a few others but he was a bit biased on that point with Becca.

He listened in silence letting her speak, merlin what he wouldn't have given for the current minister of magic to even think along those lines. "We are a team here, each one of us does our part and if we didn't, there would be departments in shambles." Such as when Gina had left according to Gavin... "I'm not going to say it's perfect here as a head of a department, it has it's moments." Like when the entire department had been destroyed by chizpurfles? "For IMC in particular what I would like to see is more input from the other departments, and not feel as if we're put out there on our own, and then find out information second or even third hand when we should have heard first hand that there was to be peace talks or even a delegate that is arriving at the ministry."

He bit his lip and sighed a little "I've been actually trying to get level 7 in on the talks about the next junior youth games and where they are to be held but at the moment, I'm not even able to get a single member from level 7 to attend the meetings." He shook his head "But that's not what we're here to discuss. What I'd like to see is the minister to get more involved within the levels. Not just send his senior undersecretary out and about but to actually attend things as well."

He bit his lip and sighed a little "I've been actually trying to get level 7 in on the talks about the next junior youth games and where they are to be held but at the moment, I'm not even able to get a single member from level 7 to attend the meetings." He shook his head "But that's not what we're here to discuss. What I'd like to see is the minister to get more involved within the levels. Not just send his senior undersecretary out and about but to actually attend things as well."



She certainly agreed with all he was saying and as she crossed her legs and got comfortable with her parchment and quill she smiled. "I'm very hopeful that most will decide that I am the best fit." She knew some wouldn't, but that was life and she was determined to prove to many that she was the woman for the job.

Jotting down the date and which meeting she was in, Victoria liked being overly organized and it certainly always helped with her job.

Nodding she couldn't agree more with what he was saying, she felt that the departments ran well and she wasn't wanting to come in and change everything just keep on the steady pace of success and improve in a few areas. "That is something that is on the top of my list. I agree we have great individual departments, but I feel our communication and interactions between departments need to improve. I have some ideas to have all ministry employees in the know of what's going on, such as a ministry mingle, a ministry newsletter that could come out once a month. This newsletter could have all that's going on in every department, places that people could get involved more, and meetings that are open to other departments. This way more things are known and not just hear say." She did jot down about him being concerned about knowing things in a timely manner. She didn't feel her department had that issue, but she could assume others did if he was having that trouble.

Her eyes did snap up to his words, "Excuse me?" That was her department, was he trying to test her, make her upset, see how she dealt with things? Well whatever it was, she wasn't dealing with being accused of not caring about something she didn't know anything about. "I'm sorry you feel that way Mr. Yenorin, but I can assure you there had been no memos that have come to level seven on any youth games or meetings with your department. While Mariel was out on maternity leave I was stepping in and helping her and I saw no memo's and I know if she had gotten one she would have sent it to myself and the other two managers right away. Our department is very well organized and we communicate very well. A youth game is very much a part of something we would be very interested in. " They would be thrilled to join another department to do something games related. So she wasn't sure where these memo's ended up. "While we are very busy with Quidditch and Gobstone seasons, we all will gladly pitch in anywhere else that is needed."

Pulling out another piece of parchment she made a few notes specifically for Mariel, "If you would like to schedule a tentative date for a meeting I will give it to Mariel as soon as I leave here." She was busy with campaign things, but her department was still very important to her and her responsibilities to her department was still on the top of her list. Moving back to the actual reason she was here, she again nodded agreeing, "Yes, I believe that a minister should be seen and should be actively involved. As minister I would make a point to be around not only in the ministry, but the entire wizarding community."

Greg stood outside Gidyun's office kind of passing a bit wondering if he should actually do this now or wait until they knew for sure everything was going to be okay. I mean..really it wasn't that big of a deal for him but he felt like it was something that he should at least tell his boss that way when he left suddenly questions weren't asked. He raised his hand to knock on the door and dropped it down again. Maybe he should talk to Amethyst first and make sure she was okay with him telling his boss....

Taking a deep breath he raised his hand again and knocked on the door. Maybe he wasn't in his office and he wouldn't have to do this anyway.

Gid looked up as he heard a knock on the door and closed his eyes. It had only been an hour since people had returned back! Were they already irritated by the sneakoscopes? Well perhaps they shouldn't be as untrustworthy? He had a feeling that that might bring some irritations and comments in his direction. Well it wasn't just the employees but others that came into their level like diplomats and such that he was more thinking they should have them about. Though Becca would just say he was a little overdoing it. Meh, time to find out what the problem was.

He spoke up "Come in" and moved to stand up and meet whoever it was.

DRAT! He was there. Greg sighed and walked into office. "Hey Gidyun." He closed the door behind him and walked over toward him. "Soooooooo....I need to talk to you about something." He sit down drumming his fingers on his leg a bit. Why was he nervous now? He hadn't been when she told him...wasn't that supposed to be when he was nervous?

"You have kids right?" he asked shifting in the seat slightly. Yup. Uncomfortable. What was wrong with him?

Gid looked a little surprised when he saw Greg walk in and towards him before just taking a seat, he moved to lean against his desk just casuallike. "Hello" he said looking a little curious when he said he needed to talk to him about something. Well definitely not sneakoscopes thank merlin.... He looked nervous though about whatever it was. "Yes, I do" he said nodding, odd question...but he had his attention now.

"Four of them actually." he added.

Four kids? And the man worked full time? Geez. Greg looked thoughtful for a moment and then leaned forward. "I..um..." Hmm. How should he word this because really it didn't seem like there was any good way to say it. "Amethyst and I..well we..." he smiled slightly and scratched the back of his head. Ugh seriously why couldn't he get words out he never usually had this issue.

"Amethyst and I are having a kid," he said a bit faster than he intended but at least it was out. Really he had no issues with having a kid. He was excited about it but he was a bit nervous about the fact that they weren't married. But...that didn't matter really so much he wanted to be with her and would at some point when he was sure she wouldn't freak out.

He listened patiently a small smile appearing, as the poor guy stammered. He was picking up what he was trying to tell him but let him say it himself. He remembered when Becca was pregnant with Emma, he had felt the same way, so nervous but yet excited as well! He had to be able to say it aloud though, that was important Gid knew, hard as it was.

"Congratulations" he said honestly with a smile. "I'm guessing not expected but welcome all the same?" Err, or possibly not welcome? That was always hard to say. He wasn't aware they had gotten married but who knew maybe they had and he didn't know. He wasn't exactly on top of all the employees with their private lives!

Well now that he had actually told someone it didn't seem..well he wasn't sure what he had thought but now he was more relaxed. "Thanks," he said with a grin. "No...not expected at all. But I'm excited. I want a family. I think Amethyst is a little worried though for..past reasons." Which he wasn't at liberty to disclose. Nope.

"You're the only one that knows right now. So...if you'll keep it between us. But I needed you to know in case I have to leave work and stuff." Hopefully the guy understood since he had FOUR kids. Though...if he thought about it really he had two now because he thought of Jemma as his kid too so two more isn't THAT big of a leap.

He smiled when he grinned with a thanks. "Well I'm glad the little one is welcome, it'll have its ups and downs for a bit but it's always worth it in the end. He nodded but didn't ask about Amethyst's worry, it wasn't his place. He knew though well enough about worries, it was part of the reason the pregnancy with Emma had been a blessing. If things had turned out differently they wouldn't even have had her!

"Not to worry there, my lips are sealed." he said kindly, "If you need anything at all, just let me know."
