So, I posted yesterday about Barbara, who sits in the cubicle next to my office. She was singing along to the Bee Gees, More Than a Woman. Darn it, I missed the show today! I went out to get a haircut (which looks fabulous, thanks for noticing 
), and when I came back, my officemate told me I’d missed an entire performance of Barbara singing along with Tears for Fears, Bonnie Raitt, and Maroon 5. I have really bad timing!
Does anyone else have entertaining co-workers?
That’s entertaining? So she sings pretty well?
Because I had a cow-orker who used to sing “A Moment Like This” at the top of her lungs every time it came on the radio. :eek: It was not at all entertaining.
LOVE your hair, BTW!
Thanks! It was really curly and poofy, but it’s rainy and humid today, so now it’s just wavy. And very soft.
No, she’s not a good singer. That’s why it’s so funny. The weird kind of funny. But at least it wasn’t “A Moment Like This.” That really would be disturbing.
Next time she starts singing, I’m going to round up a bunch of people to listen, and we can all clap when she’s done.
I once worked in an employment office. Each time one of my colleagues learned that one of his referrals had been hired, he would dance up and down the aisle between the cubicles. The dance was different each time, and it was genuinely amusing to see him frisking around. He was a big, burly guy who resembled Gene Shalit, so the twinkletoes act was surprising.
That made me laugh. I don’t have any dancing co-workers. We have singers and whistlers, but no dancers.
[hijack, morbid curiosity]
Is that perchance the recurrently-overplayed top40ism that I’ve always heard as having the refrain “Ordinary Woman”? La, la, woman to be…ordinary woman…
That one and the song that only has three pitches in the melody seem to constitute 30% of those stations’ playlist.

We all sing along with the stereo here, but none of us suck outrageously, either.
This isn’t a current top-40 kind of song–it’s from the 70s. But that sounds like the right words–“more than a woman to me. . .more than a woman.” Or something like that. In a very high-pitched voice.
I’m a little sad, we haven’t had a performance yet today. I think she was just in an unusually good mood, and it didn’t last long. Barbara is not a very happy person.
If you’re listening to too much top 40 music, maybe you need this.
TroubleAgain, it sounds like you work at a fun place!
