My addled brain
For the most part, I've been having lots of great brain days. Sometimes, even though I'm having a great brain day, I do and say things that are hilarious. I provide myself and my co-workers plenty of entertainment. Pretty much most of them know by now that I'm not always 'right in the head'.

For example, I was in a meeting with one of the project managers on my team. He asked me a question and I answered "yes", but was shaking my head "no". He said, "Well, which one is it, Lori? Yes or no?" I asked him what he meant by that and he explained what I'd been doing. I didn't even realize it.

Sometimes I provide quotes for the executive. News articles are always better with a quote from an important person, right? Well, typically here's how the process goes:
  1. I come up with a fabulous quote

  2. I send it to the person who I'm "quoting", and ask them if I can quote them on this

  3. I get approval

  4. Viola!

This past Thursday I wrote a news article about the most recent Trojan Horse/IRS scam* and was trying to come up with a quote from an important person. Here's part of the quote I came up with, "we appreciate your virility...."

Yup, I got a bunch of teasing over that one. Especially considering the virility comment was in a Trojan Horse article. You just can't make this stuff up.

*Public Service Announcement: Do NOT open any unsolicited email that appears to come from the IRS. The IRS never initiates communication through email and they will never ask you for personal information through email. There's a recent phishing storm linked to the IRS that could cause you to inadvertently download a NASTY Trojan Horse virus to your computer if you click on the link or download the attachment.
