Poll Results

Well, my impromptu poll is over. (actually it has been for a few days now)

Of the people that voted, 50% said they liked dill pickles, 25% liked hot 'peppered' pickles, and the other 25% wouldn't touch a pickle if their life depended on it.
Interestingly, nobody said they enjoyed sweet pickles.
Hmmm... maybe it's just me that likes them.

I don't have another survey yet, but when I do I'll let you all know.
----------------------

In the meantime, this has been an ugly week so I haven't been up-to-date on this blog.
I won't go into details because I promised I wouldn't talk about work.
But let's just say it sucked and leave it at that for now.
I'm hoping that opportunity knocks for an opening elsewhere... real soon.

On the bright side, it's now the weekend. I have a pretty nice paycheck waiting for me on Monday, so this weekend Hotness and I will be picking up some things that have been on the 'to get' list.

Also, I found out today that Joan Osborne had a new CD come out a few months ago. I didn't know about it until today, but I'll be picking it up soon.
I really enjoyed her last one, which had more of a country-feel to it, rather than her typical bluesy/R&B vibe.
Ever since her "Relish" album, she's kind of stayed under the radar but has put out some really great music.
One of my all-time favorites by her is "Righteous Love". It's a great CD with alot of good songs, but didn't receive much airplay.
I saw her at Bumbershoot with G-rod when she was playing some of these songs live before the album came out.
Highly recommended.

Anyway, I hope your weekend is off to a good start.
Other than some shopping, I don't have much planned this weekend.
The weather should be nice (probably the last nice weekend we'll have for a few months), so hopefully I can mow the lawn and get the mower 'winterized' for the season.

Next week promises to be more exciting.
Coming up:
1) Game Night at Dug's
2) My concert review
3) Birthday hoe-down in Puyallup
... stay tuned....

Ask Ferretnick

I got this email in my inbox at work today, and thought it was a good topic to cover here on the blog.
It came from a good friend of mine and made me chuckle when I read it.
Here's our email conversation:
--------------------------------
"Is 'fat bottomed girls' a bad term? I have this song playing on my computer. You think is wrong to play in a room full of women?"

Hmmm…. good question.
I’ll break it down into three parts and answer it.

>> Is “fat bottomed girls” a bad term?
That depends on who it is directed at.
It’s not necessarily a “bad term”, but some people (mainly women) might find it offensive. Others, might like the fact that somebody notices that they have some “junk in the trunk”. For example: Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara , or Keyra Augustina.

>> I have this song playing on my computer.
Is it playing loud, or do you have head phones on?
Unless they don’t like the band QUEEN, I can’t see that it would be a problem. Especially if it’s playing quietly and not a nuisance.

>> You think is wrong to play in a room full of women?
If I remember right, I don’t think you have any women in your office that have anything to worry about.
Again, I think if they didn’t like the band they’d be more inclined to not like the song, but not be offended by what it’s about.

All that being said, if you feel awkward about playing it in the office… then don’t. Better safe than sorry, especially since you work in a law firm.
