Can't stop smiling

Because I finally remembered to bring my Groomz 2011 Calendar od Awesomeness (zing!) into work today. So every time I glance to the right, I see Bobsquatch and PDX's former coworker dressed as a knight, standing next to a giant pidgeon and Alf. I cannot tell you how much this is going to improve my work day. I need to develop a plan for when someone eventually flips through it and starts asking questions. I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Can't stop smiling

  • The first thing popped into my head was how you would explain it to co-workers if they asked. This reminds me that I still need a new calendar for my desk.

  • Can you just start crying or talking about your menstral cycle? That will stop all questions.
  • I was going to go with "I found it on the ground", but then I remembered my face is photoshopped all over it.

    You could still do this! Just say it and stare them down with a blank expression until they get uncomfortable and leave!

  • I'd go with stalker ex-boyfriend and then tell them "Even though he's a little off his rocker, I still enjoy the attention.  Is that so wrong?"

    I'd go with this one.  And you have the December caption to prove it.  I think that's the one where I say 'I hope Dennis doesn't think I'm obsessed with you.'

  • If anyone goes near it, yell at them to stop invading your personal space and to step away from your private property.  Threaten to sue until they leave your office.

  • I found it in my email!!!!

     

     

    "So how did you meet all those girls?"

    "Not everyone lives out there, a few others flew from the west coast, and Bethany actually just moved there recently. Flann and Ali are from New Jersey, and they were roommates, and then Martha and Colleen, who are actually from Boston, lived across the hall from them. The rest of us are from Seattle. Vicki and Bethany were just down the hall from me, and I met Jenny and Flann in writing class, and Michelle was Jenny's roommate, and we just sort of all started hanging out in the common room for their dorm in freshman year."

    "How did so many college friends end up out east?

    "Well, all the east coasters ended up back there when school was done, and then Vicki got her masters at Cornell" (?!) "and stayed there after that, Bethany moved to Boston last year for a librarian position and Flann moved there recently for nursing school. The rest of us are all out west still."

    "Oh, so why was everyone getting together?"

    "Oh, no real reason. Ali and Michelle thought they'd visit the girls that live in Boston now over the long weekend, and then Vicki said she'd drive up from New York, then Jenny decided to join them, and then I found a cheap plane ticket...

    This is quite possibly the most elaborate lie I have ever read. Much more mature than yelling "NUNYA!" in the face of the person that asks before running away.

  • One of my co-workers, after hearing I was going to Boston to see some friends, volunteered me for our bimonthly "everyone shares pictures of a trip they went on!" lunch. I mainly shared pictures of the JFK library and did not share pictures of my wedding to Vicki or everyone's lobster tattoos or Moo's vampire baby.

  • oooooh! I would tell people that you found it at the dollar store, and it was so odd you couldn't NOT buy it for a dollar.
