Location: Upper Left USA | So today, I am a professional Musician, kind of.
As a Civil(ised) Servant I will be involved in an "Internal Opportunities" event at my Shipyard and besides set up, runaround and problem solving I get to play my Ovation with a couple of my Lunchtime buddies!
I wanted to call the group "Third Floor" or "Floor Please" due to the nature of our music selection.
BTW - they don't have music on Government elevators because it would be frivilous and they can't get a commitee to select a genre.
So, While "Dubya" is over in China watching the Gymnastics I will be playing my 14 Fret KoaLAV!
Thought you should know how your money is being spent! |

| They'll be riveted by your talent.
Take cds, canvas and yarn. You're sure to make a sail.
If you win the talent show will you be accused of rigging?
If they put the winners' music in the elevators will you be piped or bored?
Sorry, I'm out of my scull.
Enjoy woody, enjoy. |

| Your grasp of English subculture is very impressive. You really have spent too much time hanging with the Temp. There's no going back now. |

| Not half as pissed as he'll be when he finds out that Russia started a war with Georgia the minute his back was turned. Hell, Georgia really ain't that far from Texas. |

It's the best use of my tax dollars I've seen in a long time. Well since I stopped playing at a New York State mental hospital and was paid travel mileage. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I'm still cavitating over Dubya thinking that the Russians have invaded the "Peach State". I can hear it now "Hey Connie, is Georgia a Red state now or still Blue?".
"Cheney, don't be hoard'n them fortune cookies now." |
