Being Silly

I have mentioned many times just how lucky I am to have the job I have and to work with the people I work with. But there are days when I just don't want to go in. I have a lot of other things I need to get done and those couple extra hours could really help. Today was one of those days.

I trudged into work not wanting to talk or do anything. But my 400lb cohort would have none of that. He doesn't know what to do when I am quiet as I am usually rambling about something. So we created a game called "Sing it like Cher". I hope you all saw the Will and Grace episode ion's ago with Jack singing like Cher and then her appearance at the end. One of the best in sitcom history.

Song after song would come on the radio and we had to try to sing it like Cher. Some were easy: "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol was a cinch: In the midnight hour-o. Heart's "What about Love" was also another easy one: "Don't you want some one to share it with you-o". But we had a really hard time with The Rolling Stone's "Honky Tonk Woman". You can't Cher-ize that song no matter how hard you try.

A little silliness can go a long way in lifting someone's spirits. I appreciate that the people I work with care enough to notice a bad mood and attempt to lighten me up. I hope I do the same for them.

Have a good night-oooooo,
