memo from the corporate office

and i quote:

"Good Afternoon:

On Wednesday, April 5th, the buyer from [a very important account] will be visiting [the home office]. As this is a very important customer to us, we are looking to put our best foot forward for this visit. One of the fun things that we would like to do to show our support and appreciation for [said important account] is to wear orange on that day. If you have appropriate attire that is orange, we urge you to wear it on that day. Of course, we will have a special treat to share with the buyer to welcome her, also.

Thanks so much!"


question. isn't "appropriate attire that is orange" an oxymoron? it's not halloween, after all! so, is an orange crossing guard vest appropriate? if worn over a tee shirt, it would cover up all of the naughty bits, but seriously, do they really want an office full of cal trans employees?

question. #2. special treat? that scares me more than the attire! especially if it's orange. oranges, candy corn, pez or mangos don't seem like a "special treat" to me. what if the office employees in orange have to perform a skit? i can't wait for my mole to report back!

question. #3. who turned her grammar checker off?

I think that I would be a little put off by everyone in the office wearing the same color. That's kind of "Office Space".

Unless you have an orange wig. That would be cool.

my middle name is trouble. my last name is drama. said...

funny you mention office space, i watched it just yesterday.

hope you had fun on your trip!
