I think he's not used to poker face absurdity? If I say ridiculous things with conviction, I can almost always shock him into laughter. It's...too easy.

I do poker face absurdity at work, and everyone (except Chatty) takes me literally. I can't decide if it's a flaw in my delivery, or I work with a bunch of really unfunny people.

Guess who came to work early because of a division morale event breakfast? Guess who had two mimosas and is now about to write technical documentation? Wheeeeee.

The man had been involved in several court cases and had been claiming the DEA was at his house and he was being harassed etc.

Eep. I always wonder about the dude who hangs out in the loop with his sign detailing come convoluted story about being persecuted by the FBI. He was in front of the ABC studio window yesterday.

I want Mimosas!

We are having cupcakes later though.

I am distraught that TX is not on Cash's list thus far.

Atlanta!

Also, a strong Derby area.

Ooh, I have a friend here who is very into derby and knows many of the different teams...I could hook you up...

So, I'm back at the lunch place and they are playing the Beatles.

Please pray for me. I am afraid "Unchained Melody" is going to turn up.

Okay, they followed the Beatles with Tom Petty and now "Paint it Black" is on.

I'm in their groove and bouncing my head. Dare I get complacent? Must I constantly be on guard against bad music transition?

My boss describes my humour as "dry" and seems to seek it out and set it up, but still reacts to me like I'm the only person that ever makes jokes like this, and worries that I alienate people with my type of funny.

FUCK NO!!! I HAVE THE MOST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE COMPANY.

They love me, they really do.

I told him yesterday, when we all went out for lunch, that the last time the team went out for lunch was also business formal, and that clearly he was ashamed of us normally and does not want to be associated with us in public.

Apparently this was the funniest thing ever said...until the next thing. It's like shooting fish in a barrel...alternate the poker face with barbs at the other business analyst (Boss; ita ! you're the only woman I know who wears a tie. Me, looking at the BA who forgot the dress code: I'm apparently the only employee you have who wears a tie. Two minute laugh break. Sure, I'll take it, but seriously? I miss the days when I was the audience, man. I miss Montreal.)

Please pray for me. I am afraid "Unchained Melody" is going to turn up.

Maybe it'll be the U2 cover.
