You might want to change that to "Sapient" instead of "Sentient". The first means "having wisdom or dicernment', i.e. "Intelligent". The latter means "having sensation or feeling, concious" but says nothing about processing that information. From what you say, I'd argue that "Sentient Resources Department" sounds about right for your job site. |
Yeah, but when I think "Sapient", for some reason I think of monkeys, and the thought of angry Human or otherwise Resources people flinging their filth at each other sounds a little unprofessional to me

You obviously haven't dealt with some of the organizations I've had the misfortune to encounter. That would be a step up the ladder for any of the offices. _________________ "But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cateagle. He walked by himself and all places were alike to him."
