(no subject)

I have almost no voice whatsoever - and I talk for a living. Well no, that sounds much more impressive than it is - I talk near people for a living. At people? However you classify it, today I have been croaking. Thankfully the hour and a half interview subject didn't turn up, and I've been doing a lot of three-ways today which allow others to do the work, but even so. It's not attractive.

It has garnered me a lot of sympathy however, and as I don't actually (touch wood) feel ill, I suppose I can't complain.

I took my 1974 Playboy magazine to work today (for colleague amusement, not offender!) - Those I showed all commented on the advertisements first (I'm gonna scan a couple tomorrow), then the "This is an historical document I'm looking at honest, gosh this is quite sexist isn't, what are there women in here?" pretence duly satisfied, all went on to comment (without exception) on a) Isn't it tame, normal Lads Mags show worse thant his nowadays. B) Look at the size of their Lady Gardens and c) Collars and cuffs don't match!

It was quite educational.

I believe it is often referred to as talking 'to' people, although I may be wrong. NO MORE CROAKING. Clearly you are just slacking in your talking duties. I for one would instantly reoffend if I was croaked to. CONSIDER THIS. LA.
