Why I eyes ya.

After dim sum with Asimovian & Jakeline this weekend, I went shopping in Chinatown. It was a long day, and I was pretty tired when suddenly I heard this really familiar voice. I tried to set it aside and mind my own business, but I just couldn't let it go. I knew I heard this voice before - a number of times, even - and I was going nuts trying to place it.

Hoping to jog my memory, I turned around to see who was speaking. It was the shopkeeper, an elderly Korean woman. I thought to myself, "I don't know any elderly Korean women" when it totally dawned on me why the voice was so familiar.

(Go watch the video, I'll wait.)

The first time I heard that clip was audio-only and I remember thinking how awful it was that someone was making fun of 'that poor woman.' When I finally saw the video it became my favorite thing ever and I played and sent it to everyone I know. I even briefly considered naming the cat "Oh Don Piano."

So you'll understand when I had to leave the shop before collapsing with laughter and texting everyone I know about The Talking Cat Lady.

I can't even. Just go look for yourself. *snicker* And also, am I the last person to know about these awards? That just made my day!

This is pretty much why the internet was invented. Hee!

woo-hoo!!

I love my new job. That's a sentence I never thought I would write, but damn if it isn't true. I found a super secret shortcut, so the commute is totally manageable, parking is abundant and free, I get to decorate my cube the way I want, it's a TOY COMPANY so my love of all things ridiculous and cartoon-y is fully indulged, and the people are helpful, laid back, and all-around awesome. I only answer phones for one person, productivity is prized over face time, lunch is as long as I say it is as long as all my work gets done and I don't have to ask for permission to go to the loo! I get to wear jeans to work, fer crying out loud. I attended a 1st quarter results meeting today, (catered) where The Simpsons' was featured prominently in the presentation and suddenly realized.... I'm getting paid for this. Life is good.

Whee!

Starting my new job tomorrow. Trying to channel my nervous energy into excitement about how awesome it's going to be. Best advice I've gotten so far - courtesy of Kimberly-is not to leave my wallet.

Will wonders never cease?

1. Got a new job today... that starts Monday! It looks like a great break from the more button-up world of finance and I'm really looking forward to it.
2. I did my own taxes. Online. Got it done about 40 minutes before the deadline, but still. Next year? NO MORE PROCRASTINATING.
