Unhappy because:
Sales training was long and exhausting.
My team had to wear ridiculous lime shirts. We looked like M&Ms on acid.
Can’t stop thinking about Usher. What kind of a name is “Usher” for a rock star? In my day we had Prince and Madonna. Hell, we even had Martika. Now those are one-name singers. What’s Usher’s last name, “GetYourFeetOfftheSeat”? (Off topic point but still pertinent.)
Happy because:
Training was long but it’s over.
Our shirts may suck but my team still totally won.
That’s Grey Goose vodka in that martini glass.
In sum: Reasonably happy.

Personally, “Usher” makes me think of Edgar Allen Poe and “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
The name, that is; not the music.
Your watch looks expensive.
Just think to yourself: “Lime green makes me look like candy; people like to lick candy; girls will want to lick me.”
You look totally gruntled!
A Grey Goose martini can instantly make any day better. I like mine dirty.Very dirty.
I actually don’t like mine dirty, but I often order it dirty anyway, because I have literally never met a waitress who won’t take the opportunity to say “Very dirty, eh?” with either a smile, smirk, or sneer. And that often makes it worth it.
EV, I thought it was a leopard-print snap bracelet.
darn, papa goose got to the gruntled joke before i did. but then, i guess if anyone has dibs on “gruntled,” it’s papa goose, so that’s only fair.
if vodka is “dirty” and whiskey is “neat,” what are the other spirits? are they also described in terms of hygiene or housekeeping skills?
Reasonably adorable as well....
I don’t know, lime green acid M&M;just may be your color.
but haven’t you read usher’s press release? he has rock hard abs.
rock hard. now you must submit.
Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how actual corporations (as opposed to my rural non-profit) do things. Special neon shirts for teams in a training?! I guess it’s better than shirts v skins. Why not just colored dots? Are you guys running around or throwing things? Do you hit the streets like Amazing Race and have a need to identify one another at great distance while in motion?
It’s like pulling teeth around here to get a staff meeting called during a fricking move. You should see our coffee.
Congrats to Team Lime - or did you have a cooler name? The Geese, one would hope.
Lime green shirts? Very girly-man.
Be grateful you got a t-shirt. my team had to wear muu-muus.
The second best part about dirty martinis (best being the tasty vodka, natch) is the three fat, juicy olives. Not only do they soak up every last drop of vodka (removing the need to lick the bottom of the glass), they may be considered a meal.
*whistle*
i’m confused (shutup) ... did you have the vodka at the sales training? I would imagine that that would make anything bearable. Quit your complaining. ... That’s my domain.
Usher makes me think of Ben Vereen. You know, since he is his illegitmate child and all.
What, no bikini shots? Quid pro quo....
I prefer Grey Goose mixed with some 7Up, but that’s just me. Martini glasses look too feminine.
Rockgrrrl, the true alcoholics don’t like olives because they just take up room in the glass.
BTW, folks, that crack about the olives being a meal wasn’t mine—it’s something a friend of mine in New York used to say. She’s safely out of rehab now.
Denial is the first stage, you know.
oh my friggin GOD I could use that martini right now.
sorry, what were you saying?
1) grey goose: mmmmmmmmm
2) lime shirt: oh shut up, you know it suits you
Stick with the lime green if you look that cute in it. Works for me.
I would keep the shirt. If you’re ever lost in the woods, the helicopters will find you in no time.
Raymond. That’s what Usher’s last name is. How did his parents, who apparently had sensible names, pick a verb as their son’s first name? Off-topic, yadda yadda. It just piqued my curiosity.
P.S. Nice t-shirt.
Each morning I walk around a nearby lake. The lake is populated by geese, ducks, and blue heron. There has been some shoreline repair work which included planting grass. The geese have been feasting on the young shoots of grass. The result has been lots (and LOTS and LOTS) of lime green goose poop. So, I guess lime green and geese just naturally go together.
does that shirt say “SECURITY” on the back?
Grey goose......mmmmmm!
I would wear any color for that shtuff. Even *snicker* lime green.
But dude....you won and all. That counts for something.....right?
