A half remembered tune

Sophie played Second Skin by the Chameleons this morning...ahhh yesss.


So about my day trip with H. Since H is robotic and Euro I half expected his music selections to be suitably robotic and Euro like say Kraftwerk. No, sadly he likes soft rock. So we rolled along to Laura Branigan and the like.

H had no idea how far this place was, and kept saying 'this is in the middle of nowhere'

We had lots of uncomfortable silences, with only Dr. Hook to keep us company. Then at last it comes;

'Roebert, I think it would be goot for you to go to shyna'

I know some of you might see Shanghai as an opportunity, but I see it as irritable bowels, and no cable. Hell, you can't even use the internet properly due to the censors. Nope, not looking forward to it at all. It's not like I'm gonna go see the great wall and stuff, more likely sweat shops.

As for the visit with the supplier, it was fine I suppose. I got what I wanted in five minutes of negotiation, but H wanted to tour the facility and ask a million questions. We were there all day, and got back about 5:30.

I'm glad it's over.

Oh and I guess if I'm going to shyna, I won't be laid off..so that's good I guess.

Yesterday, while you were being beaten by H's musical choices, the Hardline decided to play some new music. It was some loungy guy covering Van Halen's Jump. Nobody on the show could guess the artist. I was clueless too. And it turned out to be . . . . Paul Anka! He was slicing Van Halen like a hammer.

Didn't PAt Boone already play this angle? Yawn..Paul should stick to what he does best...berating subordinates.
