There was a discussion at work today about having 'fun' job titles as well as official ones. For one of the customer relations team the manager suggested 'Fluffer'.
I thought he meant fluffer in a fluffy way as in making the customers feel welcome etc. The definition I read later made my chin hit the floor! Jeez! I really hope that was just a coincidence.

You're hot; I'm desperate.

Doubtful.
I've been able to make up my own title at my last 2 jobs.
I'm done.

Both Hot & Desperate.
Like someone trapped in a Volcano on a Bank Holiday.
Just found myself HIGHLY irritated by a song I just heard on the radio by The Killers. It's called Human and has the stupidest feckin lyrics I've ever heard in my life. The chorus goes:
Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?
WTF is that supposed to mean? And why are The Killers, who I thought were a half-decent rock band, releasing pansy-arsed Eurobeat electro-pop pap??
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood this morning but in my anger I jabbed the off button on the car radio so hard that I split my bloody fingernail to boot. Grrrr. 
Oh and by the way, what's the deal with that Black Eyed Peas abortion? The Dirty Dancing one? I just don't get it at all.
Oh God I'm turning into my Dad. 
Good think you can't buy a gun.

I quite like that song. Although you're onto a sticky wicket if you start actually listening to lyrics. 99 percent are complete and utter tosh.

Sounds like you're just the man they're looking for.

Yeah, I remember that song from about two years ago, Grandad.

All their songs are shit, this is a fact.

Fergie's quite tasty, though. When she's not urinating on stage.

There are some songs that should never be covered. That is one of them. Steelers Wheel 'Stuck In The Middle' was another and Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah should not have been allowed anywhere near an X Factor winner!
Quote: DonnaG @ January 14 2011, 10:07 AM GMTJeff Buckley's Hallelujah
You mean Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. It's his song and his is the definitive version, although I grant you Drowny's is pretty good too.
Apologies! I shall have to look that up then and have a listen. But still ruined by the aptly named Burke.

It's very clear:
Are we human = When we consider our inner selves does our physical presence enhance or regress our sentient consciousness.
Or are we Dancer = Or are we just performing to the constraints of what society expects?
I personally applaud the Killers for this insightful message. I shall have the words tattooed on my wife's breast as a daily reminder.

Make it her forehead, then you might see it once in a while.
