brinshannaraFirst: I hate working on English surveys for work for, oh, I don't know, TWO WEEKS, and then being dropped into a French one.
Second: The funniest work-related thing ever to happen to me happened tonight.
Backstory, from http://www.rickhansen.com:
Rick Hansen epitomizes “determination”. In the summer of 1973, Rick was a free-spirited, athletic fifteen year old who had a life altering automobile crash that left him a paraplegic. Although he could no longer walk, Rick could dream and he became a world-class athlete, winning 19 international wheelchair marathons, including three world championships and competed for Canada in the 1984 Olympic Games.
"Mom," I said to my mom on the phone, during my break, "do you know who Rick Hansen is?"
She paused. "Oh! Yes! I do!"
"Who do you think he is?"
"That Muppet guy!"
I laughed so loud that everyone in the break room turned and looked at me. "No, Mom," I said, once I'd caught my breath. "That's Jim Henson, not Rick Hansen."
Third: Was going to meet up with JB, but couldn't get a hold of her (due to the lack of her having call-waiting), but she left a very apologetic message on my machine and therefore, I have not only forgiven her, but still think she's lovely. :)
Fourth: Chocolate and S3 of Alias awaits.
