From Duncan's journal, about his office holiday party

[ceebeegee]

One of the women got up and sang a couple numbers from her album (she just happened to have her CD with her). She gave a little Cher attitude (working the hair), and her voice was nice, but the first song was inappropriately sexual for a work environment. Her CD started skipping, so she turned it off and finished the song, clapping to keep time, and trying to get other people to do so as well. AWKWARD. When she started her second song, a friend and I escaped into the other room, on the pretext of looking for more coconut shrimp.

I just have to say, I've been laughing about this all day. Part of my reaction stems from my tendency, in times of excessive stress, to find things hilarious, but really, it's the perfect antidote to holiday sentimentality and plastic snow. It just hits all the right buttons--Cher hair, inappropriately sexual song, CD malfunction leading to lame attempt to rally the troops who melt away like dirty snow. Classic!

Man, I'm giggling right now and trying to stifle it, which is making me cry. I cannot stop laughing over this.

Today my office friend and I have been periodically tossing our hair like Cher at each other and giggling wildly every time we do so.

Shit, I wish I'd seen this.
