Oh yeah, I meant to speak to My Prerogative as well.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats Maria!
I can't let the earworm discussion go without mentioning that my boss required all her employees to learn and sing a custom version of Jewel's "Intuition" at the retirement party Saturday as a tribute to the guest of honor, and my method of learning it (playing it on a loop with iTunes the afternoon before, which resulted in SIXTY FIVE replays before I left for the party) has resulted in me hearing it in my head for the last three days. If she weren't a well-loved cousin of mine I'd probably have already had an "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" moment over it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nope, no song ever.

If it had simply been an order rather than also guilting us into fulfilling a request by the retiree, whom I've worked with since 1987, my answer would have been "Oh HELL no!"

Always Anti-fascist!
I like "My Prerogative' too. I'm not sure why, really. But I do.

It's defiant, it's catchy with a good hook. I'm interested in seeing reasons why one shouldn't.
Still want to cry. Considering car.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh, ita ! I wish I could make you feel better.
Thanks, everyone! I'm almost on overload. And yes, Amy, I'm moving back to PA.
"My Prerogative" is awesome for all the reasons previously stated. I am also with Tep on "Escape." My earworm from hell? "Afternoon Delight" hands down.
Have you seen Kenny Rogers lately? He's had enough plastic surgery done to give Joan a run for her money.
Glad the procedure went well Kat.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
my boss required all her employees to learn and sing
Nope, no song ever.
I will NEVER miss that about my old job. We sang all the fucking time. Birthdays, work anniversaries (no, really), when the interns were done with their month we sang "Happy Trails" (no, really).
Never EVER will I miss it. I am amused that I missed my last-ever work birthday party because I got sick at work. I came in the day of the party, and I had a migraine so bad I threw up at work and went home, thereby missing my last opportunity to be sung to. Darn.

We sing Happy Birthday in my department and it's nice, only because one of my coworkers is/was a semi-professional singer, so he does the harmony and it sounds great. But then, I love singing, as long as it sounds good.

It's big enough here that we have an effective wall of HR, and I'm not volunteering my birthday to anyone, so no singing to me. I moved from a 97% Indian department (no one asked for singing) to a one person department, so I'm hoping there will continue to be none.
My classmate came in to work after a bad fall where she broke bones in her upper arm as well as gouged out a bunch of flesh--because it was her birthday and she wanted to take her team out.
