In fun news, one of the downsides of taking a new job almost identical to the one you just held... on a parallel staff under the same overall organization means that your old office can still wind up making new work for you to do. (Well if that's what Office X is doing, then we in Office Y have to produce something comparable...) And I have to make nice with them as a potential future collaborator/resource.

Drat. I kind of hoped I could make them Dead to Me.

Six Random Facts about Me:

  1. I like my current job, but I would much rather be a pitcher in the National League.

  2. I could really go for a baguette and some slices of Muenster Cheese.

  3. Sometimes, for fun, I like to listen to old TV Show Theme songs.

  4. I like milk in my tea. Sometimes, instead of just leaving it in the sun, I brew my ice tea hot, add milk or cream, and then stick it in the freezer.

  5. The next time I have to wear a Tuxedo, I really want to get one with tails, top hat, cane and monocle.

  6. Someday, I will master the art of the "You are worthless and weak" spitting monologue, a la Mark Metcalf. I think they should give him and Kurtwood Smith a sitcom where they do nothing but rail at irresponsible dumbasses.

3. I like to get them on people's heads and make them guess at what they are.

4. That's disgusting.

5. Do it! I bet getting a top hat to fit is difficult, though.

5. I think the only one still wearing a tuxedo with a monocle is Mr. Peanut.

But look at the respect he gets!

Him, and uncle pennybags from Monopoly. And yet, I still kind of want one.

I love TV show tunes. Okay, I like to burst into random song with just about anything, but I do love show tunes. *G*

Have you ever heard the full version of the Cheers theme? It's hilarious.

Not the whole thing - just what was on the show.

I got it stuck in my head one day and downloaded the full version.

It's about this woman who's got no electricity, her kid tortures cats, her shrink ran off, and her (most recent) husband is getting a sex change... and like a bunch of other stuff. Which is why you want to spend all of your time in the bar. It's just really over the top, and it made me laugh.

That's sounds hilarious. I'll have to check it out.

I would love to see you singing "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" while appropriately dressed.

"Me too" on the theme songs and the milk in tea, but I've never tried the iced tea trick.

Now I desperately want to see you in full tuxedo regalia.
