Overheard in the Office
Lately, work has been busy. Not only because I am leaving, but because we are headed into the busiest quarter of the year, which means long hours, a lot of fighting, and drinking to excess on off-hours to counteract the previous two conditions.One of my coworkers is the funniest person I have ever met. I will seriously miss him after I leave. Not only is he a nice guy and great at what he does, but we have managed to turn the office into a major funhouse at times. Without him, I would have never been introduced to Jurassic 5, tasted real Tennessee moonshine, or had a partner to come up with some of the crazy food-and-drink-to-get-rich-quick schemes we have come up with:
Gemini Rocket (his idea) - a 80-120 oz. of malt liquor/beer (because sometimes a 40 oz. is not enough). It's a giant jug with a small, twist-off cap, that you carry around with you. Except for it's so heavy, that each one you purchase comes with a sling to hoist the thing over your shoulder, Santa-style.
Barry Grayvee (joint collaboration) - I'm not sure how the name came up on this one, but it's a smoothie store that sells unusually-flavored smoothies, like the Chicken Pot Pie smoothie, or the Creme Brulee smoothie.
The Comfort Food Vending Machine (my idea) - a vending machine that sells comfort foods, like macaroni and cheese, or mashed potatoes.
H2-Yo (his idea) - Nourishing water for the urban, inner-city set. Bottled tap water in a 40 oz. bottle.
I digress. Anyway, I was just calmly trying to solve about 18 last-minute issues with clients, when I overheard him on the phone with one of our contacts, Mark, in Tennessee. I am thinking it was regarding our Disney client, as I heard the following:
"Hey Ashlee Simpson, it's Timberlake. I just talked to the Disney client, and she put her little ears on and said she was going to send it to you ASAP. She also said 'It's a small world, keep your hands and legs inside the cart at all times, too, but I don't know what that means. She said it's code, and she said you'd know how to read it."

Okay, so last night, I went out for some good times with some of my media friends. I ended up at Durkin's with Sara and the Boston boys, Taylor and Chris. (And they are two of the funnest people I've been out with. I now love Boston even more.)
I saw you B, and at one point, I was so tired that I had to grab the nearest stool at your table and sit down, as my black heels were taking a toll on my poor, tired feet. You then proceeded to give me a five minute lapdance on the stool, complete with arm rub, chest shimmy, and hair playing. Good times.
