I had encounter in the elevator this morning that I have to share... but first I want to remind those who apparently have some sort of short term memory thing... I am a Russell Crowe fan (and we'll leave it at that...)
So - with that in your head, I get on the elevator, it's Tuesday I've already had a Dr appointment, in-out-done... no biggie, made the 8:30 conference call, made the 9:00 AM conference call, got to work in time for the 10 AM conference call... but the fun part of the day? Those 20 minutes between 9 and 10 calls when I was in the elevator (not for 20 minutes it was all of 5) Why? I will tell you.
Two very tall, good looking gentleman, in uniforms, not American - I know those too well - but they spoke --- AUSTRALIAN... oh baby. ;-) They greeted the lone woman on the "lift" they are there for a conference all week, stationed in the Pentagon for 2 months for "training" then back home. Crap - I'm married. Fine time to remember that! It would be wrong to just ask them to talk for a bit no? Yeah. Nice enough, gave them some suggestions as to what to see, and where to eat, and started my day with a nice lift - and accents in my head. I am hopeless.
Sorry Bubba - I still wuv you honey. Besides I've tried Vegamite - ick doesn't even come close to that mess! AND they think Peanut butter is ICK - I'd starve. Bubba had an intern a LONG time ago - his parents were Australian diplomats, they invited us to dinner to thank Bob for the job - that is where I tried Vegamite, and learned about Peanut Butter down under. So much for that little bubble (pop!)
So the rest of my day is being consumed with busy work, (and 2 more telecons) and a quick visit from the boss. Got good news I don't have to be on the manager conference call tomorrow - bonus. Wednesday at home - no calls, busy work, oh and my father-in-law is coming for a visit. He's headed North to see his wife and his money and decided to stop by for a over night to save himself a bit of trouble traveling. Smart - but now I have to adjust dinner plans - I don't Bubba Sr. as a Mexican fan... in fact I know he's not. We'll adjust no biggie.
Finally -- Pittsburgh Penguins... boys - Game 7 seriously? Are you kidding me? I WILL NOT suffer the taunts of Caps fans if you boys blow this series-- shoot the puck - cute ain't cutting it boys - Wednesday night - win or there will be riots in 'da 'burgh... and a big fat groan in DC... I don't look good in red! Get it together boys!
Ahem - that is all... off to ride the lift for a bit - do you think the boss will miss me? ;-)
