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...
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do poker face absurdity at work, and everyone (except Chatty) takes me literally
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.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Please pray for me. I am afraid "Unchained Melody" is going to turn up.
Maybe it'll be the U2 cover.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I have a similar thing going with our budget folks. At the beginning of a meeting a few weeks ago, one of them started to ask why my boss wasn't coming. I looked at her and said, "Because she's mad at you." They are all STILL cracking up over it!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I do some poker-faced absurdity at work, but I don't really need to. My being the Goth version of Mary Poppins seems to be playing really well here. I recently found out that my boss-of-boss has threatened other managers with "Don't make me go get Jillian and her vampire fangs".

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I like people who think I'm funny, but it is a little OTT at times.

Now that's funny!
