Notes From The Fun Committee Meeting, 6.23.05
Yes, you read that right. A committee designed for fun.
Maureen suggests dressing up and having a Renaissance-themed day. I'm not surprised, because I've seen her wear a dress before that looks like she wears it to Renaissance fairs on the weekends. So I'm not shocked by her suggestion, just really, really sad.
It's "for all intents and purposes," not "for all intensive purposes." And while we're at it, jive, jibe and gibe are three different words.
Friday is apparently Bring Your Pets To Work Day. Rather than reflect on the inherently lonely nature of the idea, CFD launches into stories about her cats. She's only in her 20s, and already she's the weird cat lady whose house you don't walk by at night.
Another suggestion for a "fun" day at the office: dressing up like different decades (e.g., the '80s). When asked how I and the other men would respond to the idea, I reply that I'd probably wear normal clothes and say I didn't feel like participating. This takes some of the wind out of the sails of the full-tilt insane women on the committee, but it doesn't stop them, just slows them down.
Shawnna, dumb as a bag of rocks, also makes various suggestions throughout the meeting, but they're so embarrassing that I've already willfully forgotten them.
