Have You Got Talent?

My work put on a talent show tonight.  Interesting talents included peeling a banana with toes, Nepalese music, a salsa cook-off, folk dancing, a film, and many more!!  Brittany (the other secretary) and I wrote up a funny skit last night and performed it at the talent show.

We won most creative.  Boo-yah!


Our skit was an exaggerated day in the life of a secretary, including enthusiasm for menial tasks, long trips to deliver supplies, and creepy knowledge about all the other employees.  It was pretty funny!  (Ferreals!  People actually laughed!!)  We ended it out with a superbly choreographed dance (no exaggeration whatsoever... maybe) to The Secretary Song by Sawyer Brown.  It might be the funniest song I've heard in awhile-- some of the lyrics include:

"You were made just to be a secretary
You were made for love."

I have to wonder-- is that actually a compliment to tell someone they were made JUST to be a secretary?  Also, what the heck does that have to do with being made for love?  I suggest checking the song out-- it's good for a laugh :P


I also got an amazing "statue" (aka a full Mrs. Butterworth syrup bottle spray painted gold).  Might be one of the best things I've ever won!  (Hey-- I AM a poor, starving college student, remember?!)

The talent show overall was quite the success.  It was fun to see my co-workers doing something other than working.  I also got to know some of them a little better, which was nice because I'm usually so far removed from them in my office.

So A+ to everyone.
