Things I like about my job

[featherynscale]

There's a conversation going on this afternoon via companywide email on the subject of our women's 3 on 3 basketball team for Kansas City Corporate Challenge, which lost a member due to the Cutest Temp In The World quitting. The focus of the conversation is which of our male coworkers would be most able and/or willing to put on a skirt and a blonde wig and sub in on the women's team. That is what I like about my job.

This comment has nothing to do with this post.

Found your journal via note-to-self; friended based on quickly scanning your journal and noting 'DragonCon', 'Eddie Izzard' and the word 'underwhelmed', the combination of which scored very high on the cool-o-meter.

Don't feel obliged to reciprocate. I mostly restrict my LJ activities to ranting about television.

Cat introduction: Perhaps regrettably, I don't restrict my lj activities to anything. But welcome to the party, such as it is. :)

Dog introduction: You like Eddie Izzard? I like Eddie Izzard!!! You like Tool? I like Tool!!! You're weirded out by the reproductive process? I'm wierded out by the reproductive process!!! Let's be friends!

(hehe.)

My problem is I'm all dog at first, and then I realize I've friended someone who has 'not watching television' as an interest, and then I feel...sheepish.

(I didn't watch television for 12 years. Period. Then two or three years ago, it turned out that all my friends actually sucked far more than I ever thought possible (and, coincidentally enough, this is why I keep my LJ fairly superficial), and I started spending a lot more time hanging around the house. Ruminating and so forth. And, um, watching television. Because of the cultural...er...story archetypes...er... You know, there's no way to spin this positively, so let's just call it a phase.)

Reproductive processes, gawd. When they can grow them in tanks, someone get back to me.

You know what I find very interesting? Television advertising trends.

Thinking about them from a psycho-sociological perspective, and all that. There sure are some interesting adverts out there.

yep-

I couldn't agree more. I'm the kind of guy that'll get a snack or use the bathroom during a show, but run back when the commercials come back on. :D

That's all good :)

I'm not offended by other people watching television, just know that if you ask me if I saw X on tv, I'm gonna do the electronic equivalent of looking at you blankly.

And about that last bit, ever read the Dune books? Ew.
