For all I complain about my job, I have to share a good one....
Tomorrow is my birthday. Neither my program team, nor this office in general, celebrates birthdays - which is fine, whatever, no problem. Well, the accounting group in Boise does birthdays big for everyone. They have a whole system set-up and it is a THING. Ok, fine, whatever.
So, I just got a call from my current boss saying that while my "real life birthday" is tomorrow, my "work birthday" isn't until March when I'll be up in Boise. She didn't want me to think they were ignoring me. Not that I was concerned at all, I just think it is funny.
Now I'm wondering if I should be nervous. I've heard about some of the milestone birthday celebrations up there.
Work birthday? Heh.
I think tommyrot is right about the body inflation. I *have* seen a demonstration of a rubber suit thing that suspends you, in a cube of air thingie...it was odd.
"Reign" used where "rein" is correct is nails-on-a-chalkboard for me, right up there with "tow the line" and "for all intensive purposes."
There's a writers club at my workplace, and the current president is a champion of usage errors. I don't think he's gotten there/they're/their correct yet.
"The people next store" is one of my favorites.
I would write "various insundry" well into college.

I was in college before I realized that "awry" was pronounced "a-righ" instead of "aw-ree".
I'm terrible with that kind of stuff, especially in lyrics. I'll go YEARS thinking lyrics are one thing and then find out they are actually something else. It's SO embarrassing!
Hold me close, Tony Danza!
The girl with colitis goes by!
'Scuse me while I kiss this guy!
And, of course...
Heaven's just a funky moose
Woah, Nipsey Russell!
(Roam if you want to)
The one that drives me nuts is when people conflate "wary" with "leery" and say "...so I'm weary of known PCP users having access to chainsaws."
