Revvin' Up Your Engine, Listen to Her Howl and Roar

We had an internal meeting and Richard, a regional team member in Cali, called in. Our project manager was talking about a few sites who are "in the red zone"- her way of saying that they are coming up against some SUPERtight deadlines that they have to meet before participating in this new trial.

Then she said there was one site whose deadline is not until April, but they are even less likely to be able to meet all the deadlines than the others.

I asked what zone they were in.

"The O-zone! They are really out there!"

Richard: The Danger Zone!

The Twilight Zone... we hit them all.

So the meeting got back on track and went on a few more minutes while we talked about another subject. Then Morgan mentioned the Red Zone sites again.

Just then, "Highway to the Danger Zone" started blasting into the conference room through the speaker phone. Ahahaa!

Richard: Yeah, I'm available to DJ all our meetings.

That would so rock! I've got a playlist lined up for my 1 o'clock tomorrow.


Saturday 9: Unicorn
"The Unicorn" was selected because Monday is St. Patrick's Day. Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) This song was recorded by The Irish Rovers. While it's said that on St. Patrick's Day everyone is Irish, can you honestly claim Irish heritage?
I can honestly claim Irish heritage. One of my Great Grandmas' sides of the family goes back to Ireland. And there are a LOT of them. Good Catholic peeps.

2) According to the 2000 Census, Massachusetts is the state with the largest percentage of residents of Irish descent. Have you ever been to The Bay State?
I went to Boston on a cruise, where we spent the afternoon in Salem. We also spent a few days in Onset for Jeff's family reunion a couple of years ago.

3) Other than St. Patrick, what is Ireland famous for?
BEER!! Just like Germany. I come from beer people.

4) St. Patrick's Day is celebrated the world over. They even watch marching bands and wave Irish flags on St. Patrick's Day in Moscow. Does your town have a St. Patrick's Day parade?
I Googled it and we do not. Weird.

5) "The wearing o' the green" is one way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Will you wear something green in honor of the day?
Oh. My. Gawd. I was the one Monday morning, saying "What is this- Green Shirt Day?! Ahaha!" Yes, dorkass. Actually, it is.

6) Have you ever had green beer?
I have!

7) Have you ever ordered a Shamrock Shake at McDonald's?
Nope. But I saw a few people post about them on Facebook.

8) A four-leaf clover is considered good luck. Do you have a lucky charm?
No, but I wish I did!

9) Speaking of Lucky Charms, they are magically delicious. What brand of cereal is in your kitchen right now?
Honey Nut Cheerios
