*snicker*

Okay, friendslocking this so my employers can't do a search and find me. But man. *snicker*

Imbeciles. This country is full of imbeciles.

Letting everyone in on a detail. The company I work for? Well, it's one of those "name" companies. The names of the partners are used.

Well, one of the names used is Bouvier. Bou-vi-er. French pronunciation. Maiden name of a former first lady - perhaps the most famous former first lady. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.

Now, you would think that since JFK was such a popular person, and since everyone knows about the Kennedy's, that people would sort of make the association.

Nope.

Common mispronunciations include:

Boo-vee-ere (last syllable pronounced like "hair")
BBA (apparently with my accent, it sounds like initials)
Boozier (*snicker* that one is actually pretty funny)
Bow-vier

But the new one for today, the one that had us all rolling...

Boubier (pronounced Boobier)

Yeah. In our office, we have nine women. Four of them (including me) are A cups. Four are B cups. One is actually probably a B cup, but she's also very tiny and petite, so she has the appearance of being much more blessed.

As you can see, we are not a Boobier. But damn, talk about a good laugh.

Well lookee here.

Apparently I'm just a raving bitch today. *g*

Phone call came in a few minutes ago for one of the head honchos. They give a long spiel, heavy foreign accent that I can barely understand, and ask for the head honcho by her proper name (instead of the shortened version - thereby a red flag that they have no clue who they're calling for). Now, do I have a clue who they're with or why they're calling? No. Because they spoke fast in an accent that I probably could have understood if whatever they said were slower than the speed of light.

So I do what any good employee does. I page back to head honcho to let her know that whatever that company was that called yesterday (Oh yeah, they called after 4:00 yesterday - and that's the only time they've called this week). They supposedly left her a message yesterday, so she might know why they called (yesterday it was a man who called, and he wasn't understandable either).

The head honcho is in a meeting.

So I go back to fast talking person with accent to let them know, and would they like her voicemail, and her response? (In perfectly understandable English this time.) "We have been trying to get hold of her and have left *several* messages, and she is *not* returning our calls, and we need the expiration date on her card."

Now, this slightly would explain calling her by her proper name, as the proper name would be on a credit card. But hey, "several" messages and "one" message are not the same thing. And bitching at me because the head honcho hasn't returned their call?

*g* Here is what I told her, word for word.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but (head honcho) is in a meeting at this time. I don't know *why* she's not returning your calls, but she is a *grown woman*. The best I can offer you is her voicemail. Would you *like* her voicemail?"

I so enjoy playing the bitch sometimes.

Happy dance of joy

Got my hair cut! Got my hair cut!

I have bangs. And choppy layers.

So far I've been told that I look older (yay!) that it softens my features (again, yay!) and that now my eyes need to POP! Well, I can see that. *g* The bangs draw attention to my eyes. One person who didn't know I was getting it cut actually dropped her jaw.

The funniest comment though came from a coworker as he was heading out the door to lunch. He doesn't know about my Superman obsession. At all. But his response?

"Wow. You know, you look like Lois Lane."

As soon as KM gets back from lunch, she's taking pictures on the digital camera. That way I can share.

Mormon Crickets Invading Western States

Okay, so crickets now have religious affiliations? But how do we know they're Mormon? They could be Pentacostal, or Catholic, or Baptist, heck, they could be Islamic!

I swear, I'm not making this up.

Naked man scares shark to death

Really, do I need to say anything more?

Damn the thief.

Somebody snitched the digital camera. At least that's what I was told. So here are some pictures of famous people that slightly illustrate what my hair is doing right now.

This is what Mr. Bossman says I look sort of like.

And I can't find a picture, but regular viewers of CSI will recognize this one: Lady Heather (the dominatrix).

Then there's also been the comment of Alyssa Milano, when she had the ubershort bangs on Charmed.

Are you starting to get the picture here?
