Category: Flotsam and Jetsam

Because I haven’t updated in quite some time, and really don’t have much to say, instead I’ll jump into the latest thing going around my friends’ blogs!

Interesting that even though I told it I am male, I am the world’s tallest woman. This also means that Chainsaw and I must be the same height, and Donald duck has a LOT of middle names.

You may remember me talking about me Arch-nemesis, Darin Murphy. Well it turns out the bass player for the K-Tel Hit Machine stumbled upon my blog and read that entry and the following amusing (to me anyway) email thread ensued:

I was browsing the pictures from our company holiday party when I stumbled across this picture of Jess and some guy that I didn’t recognize at all. Now there are a lot of people in our company that I don’t really know and probably wouldn’t recognize, plus everyone could bring a guest. I was about to IM Jess and ask her who this slightly insane looking dude was. He had his arm around her so I figured she must at least be fairly acquainted with him which isn’t unusual since, as the receptionist, she gets to know most of the company. Just as I was about to ask her, I figured it out. That guy was me. It was a bit freaky to not recognize myself at all.

We now have digital phone service. This includes free calling to anywhere in the U.S. with no long distance charges. Now we just need people to call and the guts to do it. I just keep thinking “I can’t call these various friends of ours scattered across the country! It will just be awkward silences because I’ll just be like ‘uhhh, so hey, what’s happening?'”
Anyway, feel free to email us with your numbers if you would like to receive frivolous phone calls from us saying “Uhhh, hey, what’s happening?”

I present to you quite possibly the most amusing holiday related song in the history of the world. I recommend not drinking while watching this as it may result in you ruining your keyboard. Be sure to watch it to the end as it only gets better as it goes on.

I think the following story is a wonderful indicator of the kind of place I work (that is meant as a compliment as I think the company and the people I work with are a lot of fun).
Today at work a large chunk of the company gathered outside for the McRib challenge 2006. One guy took on the
challenge of trying to eat 10 McRib sandwiches in one hour. Throughout the week emails had circulated laying out the official rules.

Somehow I’d never seen this yet.

I had a moment of extreme amusement today as I stepped outside my normal everyday routine to realize that not many people have jobs which entail them entering the subject “Mutant goo tub is really shiny” or “Crazy rock around goo lake” into a database.

I had another moment today where I felt I must have been posessed by Mitch Hedberg:

“I make six figures. Unfortunately the first one is a 0.”

Involving me and Dr. Cuddy from “House”. That was unexpected.
