New Staff Member Orientation

When a new member is hired into the collective, there are several steps that need to be performed. A "buddy" is assigned by HR to the new hire, and it's the buddy's job to make certain these steps are accomplished. Some of these things must be done by other people (e.g. an ASS) but it's the buddy's responsibility to make certain that it get's done.
