all in a day's work

I just played duet of "Heart & Soul" with a world renowned classical pianist. I think that goes right to the top of the Wackiest Shit I’ve Done at My Job list.

You know, right after ‘used a tampon to stop a bloody nose.’

Mom always said those piano lessons would pay off! Now, aren't you glad you practiced for at least 3 minutes in a row, every other week, all through the third grade?

This Fish said:

Bwahahahahahaah! Yeah, but I'm totally glad I skipped my theory classes. No way THAT would have paid of at all.

ok, odd story, a friend was on the wrestling team in high school and they used to cut tampons in half and use them for bloody noses, well since she was the girl on the team (dont ask) she got the fun job of cutting them up. one day she left the string attached to one and a guy commented on it, "hey, these string things are pretty handy!" she practically lost it laughing so hard. then she told them what the things were.. LOL

Gee... what Tom Hanks movie was that in??

Lex said:

"Big," of course.

Now, did you play the melody or the bass part?

At the hospital, we call them "Rhino Rockets", and if you have to use them for sinus surgery, you stick one up each nare and tie the strings below the nose. Awww! a little string mustache

Top of my wacky-work-task-list was air-brushing a spokemodel's tongue ring out of a corporate video. Took me two bloody weeks & then they ended up cutting out the entire clip. Ugh.

Love that song...

Nice--just like on Sex and the City. Best. episode. ever.

Shelly said:


Classic. Never tried doing that with a tampon.

[I wish I saw that Sex and the City episode... keep missing the show]

This Fish said:

I never saw that episode either. Pretty sure I learned it on an episode of Nip/Tuck.

Heather- I just took guitar lessons from a drunk homeless guy, so I guess there is a conservation of pretense in this universe.
