My favorite special skill so far is "can operate a Zamboni"
I'd bring them in for an interview on the strength of that. C'mon, they found a way to live the dream!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Ask them what the craziest thing they've done on a Zamboni is.
From across the cubicle wall: "I'm barely remembering names, you want me to do faces too? Man, you're double-dipping there."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've done MORE insurance stuff. We switched to husband's insurance because it was better and cheaper, but Jesus, I almost wish we'd stayed where we were, because at least everything was set up.

If it's a theatre tech this may well mean they worked on board a Royal Caribbean ship at some point. Many of them have ice rinks in one of the theaters and the techs are responsible for operating the zamboni.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am back at work! People are being kind and friendly, and I brought in a cake.
Yay!

That is so great.
I have a snow day today! So far, haven't does a goddamn thing except sit in front of the fire and cruise the internet.
Yay! That's the best kind of snow day.

OK, I finally got to a senior person about one of the annoying situations, so we'll see what she says.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sounds like a good way to spend a snow day to me.

No snow, but it is cold here. I have on thick socks and a sweatshirt! 57F! (well inside it is still 70) If it keeps up I might have to turn on the heat. I feel I should do that once a year anyway to burn the dust off the system or something.
I am seriously bad moody today. Like I should call it a day super early and just go to bed with a book. I am just in foul humor. No idea why.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Now I'm earwormed with "King of Spain" ("Now the Habs want me to drive the Zamboni")

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
People are being kind and friendly, and I brought in a cake.
These two things are probably not unrelated.
I am out from under my work task which has bedeviled me for weeks, costing me much sleep and aggravation and brain-thinky problem solving.
For those of you keeping track at home, this is to replace our toy prototypes which were blown up by the bomb squad.
