In addition to my chores as a technical writer for Big Brother, Inc. and choreographer/actor/acting coach for Giant Step Theatre, I semi-recently started Working Retail in order to be able to make car payments. It was during an all-too-infrequent lull while Working Retail that I spontaneously began singing: "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide; no escape from reality..."
My kinky-haired co-worker, TommiBoi, interrupted by asking, "Who sings that?"
Always one willing to educate the masses, I answered, "Queen."
Her quick comeback: "Let's keep it that way."
That gave me a hearty laugh, which surprised her, because she said that jab had been around for a long time.
Still, I was tickled enough by the incident that I told the worship team about it Sunday morning after rehearsal. It was then that the truly delicious dropkick to my ego was administered.
Fellow worship team member and faithful reader, Beckster WhassupWiddat, innocently looked at me and said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't believe no one has ever said that to you before."
