office shenanigans

 
Today was maybe the closest I'll ever get to working at Dunder Mifflin. It was the CEO's birthday, and we had the expected festivities with food and cake. Good times, then back to work right? Except then a Marilyn Monroe impersonator shows up, totally in character and in a full-on white dress. But I'm still at work...I think?

So anyway, we're all gathered around in the conference room and the CEO walks in beet-red with Marilyn draped around him. She was a money Marilyn Monroe, to be sure. She had the breathy voice, tig ol bitties, the whole shebang. And she was hotter than the stripper from The Office. She put on like a half hour show, and was dishing out love to the dudes in the room, most of whom are married. I'll admit that I was pretty much a deer in the headlights - one minute I'm looking at spreadsheets, the next Marilyn Monroe is singing 2 inches from my face while I'm standing there slack jawed clutching a plastic plate. I literally just stood there stunned. Altogether she did the whole "Happy birthday Mr. President" thing, did a couple of numbers to involve the audience, and wrapped up with "Diamonds are a girl's best friend". Just your standard office birthday party.

God bless laid back California workplaces.
