Me and my rich fantasy life

I have a new schedule at work, which translates into I have new co-workers. (Long story short, they reconfigured some of the shifts - and my old Thurs-Sat shift was changed to a Fri-Sun shift. I now work M-Th. It's a killer, working a 4x10 shift when I was just getting used to a 3x12, but hey... it's still better than all those years I spent working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.)

But I digress. The point of this post was not to drone on about my new schedule. The point was to tell you a funny work-related story.

So, without further ado...

On my first day on the new shift, we all went around and gave our names. At the end of the circle, this skinny kid said his name was Alex, and I thought to myself, "Hmmmm. Alex is kind cute. In a weird way, he reminds me a little of Pasha. He's younger and skinnier, but he's looking a little familiar to me. How bizarre."

(We all remember my deep and abiding love for Pasha, right?

Fast-forward two days when I see Alex has been copied on an email sent to me, and his last name ends with 'sky'. Uh, hello, people. That's a Russian last name.

Yup, Russian... Just like Pasha.

Eek!

No wonder I thought he looked a little Pasha-like!

I've officially joined the ranks of 30-somethings who have crushes on children. I'm pretty sure Alex is only 22, and I don't even care. (Listen, he reminded me of Pasha in the first place - and then I saw his last name. Oh, my.)

The End.

In Remembrance of Chelsie

This was my favorite dance of the week. I know, shame on me for not having posted this until 48 hours after the fact, but I did love this dance! I'm beyond bummed that Chelsie got booted this week. Seriously, I had her picked to take the whole thing. I have no one to blame but myself, though. I forgot to vote. (Yup, just like Kathleen Kelley "in the last mayoral election... I forgot to vote." 10 pts to anyone who knows the reference.)

Un-freaking-believable. I will still watch the finale, don't get me wrong... but it won't hold the same weight for me since Will, and now Chelsie, are gone. :(
