Well, That's Embarassing (First Post About Work)
I had a good morning. I had donuts for breakfast, and the overcast sky suited me. My program came together quickly, and it mostly worked. My newly re-replaced ipod blared "Sixteen Shells from a 30-ought-6", "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk," and "Diamonds from Sierra Leone".
Times like that it seems, to paraphrase Biggie, that code just grows through me.
Later in the day, a coworker came by to ask a question. Before leaving, he asked, "Why'd you stop singing?"
"Shit. Was I singing before? I was worried about that. It's hard to be sure sometimes."
He said that when he came in in the morning, others informed him that I had been singing, and that within a few minutes I had started again. So, I did the only thing I could: I turned the conversation to topics which make me look better. Reasons he should be listening to the music that induced the singing. The massive size of my mp3 collection. The massive size of my penis, in all relevant dimensions. That sort of thing.

singing at work is not something to be ashamed of.
no comment on the size of your penis. you know what my view is.

My assistant and I used to sing Aladin through the wall to the HR Specialist. It was fun and she actually enjoyed our duets!

i haven't thought about the music of aladdin in a while. but the thought suddenly reminds me of a sixth-grade dance.
