My brother sent me this link with the caveat “Warning: contains hilarious crude and foul language!” Um, Big Brother, next time warn me about the nauseous feeling I will also experience, thx. :ill:
My brother needs to be a blogger. I’ll work on that.
ACW has a link to a really funny clip about working in a music store. You may laugh out loud while watching that, so do what you need to do about that (cover mouth, shut door, send boss on a reconnaissance mission so s/he doesn’t know you’re goofing off, etc.).
This morning I found out that my landlord knows my nephew because my nephew works on his car at the car dealership across the street. When I said my nephew’s name this is how the dialog went:
Landlord: Oh, yes, he just got new teeth!
Poppy: Yes, in Hungary!
Landlord: … I thought in Amsterdam.
Poppy: No, new teeth in Hungary, play in Amsterdam. :winks:
Landlord: Ahhhhh, yes. :winks:
Poppy: But with his grandmother, so not as fun.
Landlord: Err.
Poppy: :smiles:
I do that flustering people thing. It’s a talent of mine, apparently.
Oh! Also! Landlord asked me to take care of Tink-the-boy-kitty while the fam is away on vacation! That’s after I get back from my vacation, so I will definitely post Tink photos sometime in late March/early April. Yay!
I am signed up for my conference and airfare (no stops in NYC :frown: but stops in Chicago! :smiles: ) but not yet for hotel. I am always impressed with the fact that someone else is tasked with handling all the little details of my travel. Thank you, Sarah, whoever and wherever you are.
Ooops, one more thing, meant to add this. Abs interviewed Fab for her blog and made him do a video about how much he loves her, but (and I’m guessing this is only funny to me) he spends almost the entire video saying how awesome I am instead. As in, Poppy. Yup. Way to make friends, Fab. :winks:
DID YOU SAY CHICAGO?!!!!!!!! When!
Maman, *GRIN* I knew that’d get you. The layover isn’t significant enough on the way down, but I return home on 3/24 and have a 4-hour layover. I don’t know the details yet, still waiting for the ticket agent to get back to me about the airfare and hotel, but I will let you know in an email. :smiles: :smiles: :smiles:
Merci, Poppy! A bientot!
I want to travel! I am anchored by lack of job, lack of anywhere to go and a lck of a lack of children…lol.
Hmm.. Chicago is not so far away from me…
But too far for only 4 hours. WAH.
Anyway, I cannot wait to click on the links.
You make me laugh.
Have you been to Chicago? I hear it’s like a really nice and fun NYC. I don’t like working in NYC. I like to visit. Working there sux.
Maman, de rien!
Kyra, you are anchored by your mind. There are always a million reasons not to do things we want to do. Live life. (And that concludes my inspirational speech for the day. Phew!)
Sybil, sawwy. Can’t please everyone.
Abs, um… what’s wrong with working in NYC? Granted, I was only working in a client office for a week or two, but I thought it was pretty fucking awesome. I appreciate the high level of quirk each day delivered. Maybe that’s why. Yes, I’ve been to Chicago, while a serial killer was running around killing hookers, even!
Serial killers? You are fine so long as you stay out of the southside… You have to be “street” like me :laughs: to handle that… Did I ever blog about the time that Fun Daddy and I drove into an open air drug market? Ahhh, good times…
Wow! I am really glad you made it home safe after hooking while you were in Chicago!
I don’t recall you blogging that, but you totally need to.
Hey, it’s great money, what can I say…
