First guilty pleasure of the year
Well, aside from the usual drinks during the new year, is Clay Aiken's Measure of a Man CD, particularly This is the Night and Invisible... heheheh...
Now that I have changed jobs, I can mudsling my old firm
It was the company's Christmas party and us 'consultants' were tasked to head the registration table (by this time, i was all too willing to do whatever they asked, having already submitted my resignation and just inching towards the effective date).
One of the presentations involved a song and dance number by the board of Directors, which, in fairness, was actually funny and well worth a hoot, so a lot of the employees stood to get a glimpse, laughing and clapping their hands with glee (of course some just stood with disbelief.) toward the end of the number, their dance steps involved swaying their arms from side to side (as in a happy song, if you get my drift), and, to my surprise, some of the employees who were standing started to sway their hands as well!!!
oh. my. nevermind.
by the end i wasn't laughing at MANCOM anymore, but at the pitiable attempt at ass-kissing by the said employees, some of who, by the way, were brand and field sales managers, supposedly reputable people who just ooze with the aura of being above that at the office... well, well, it seems when the times call for it, out go the puckers, heheheh... believe me, that night was certainly completed early for me.
the works of shel silverstein
i discovered this writer just last weekend, while looking at other children's books (my best friend sorta likes children's books despite being 23 years old), and we read 'the missing piece'. we ended up buying a collection of poems entitled, 'a light in the attic', and he writes with an innocence and poignancy such that kids can appreciate the simple words, yet adults will definitely find underlying nuggets of truth. i now want to buy both 'the missing piece' and sequel 'the missing piece meets the big O', and, i'm telling you, his books may be slightly expensive, but go through the pages of any book he has written, and i'm sure you will understand exactly what i'm saying. i'm really hyped on 'the missing piece', so if you find an open copy of it, go ahead. you'll be done with the book in 5 minutes. but even at 700 bucks for it, you'll find that the read may be 5 minutes long, but the it's well worth keeping and reading again. and again.
