You know you're back on the "real" Planet Earth when...

You walk into the office on Monday morning, still coming to terms with the 21/09 show, only to be greeted by your fat, overpaid boss who asks:

"How was your gay f***ing show?"

Followed by:

"Yeah, that Prince is a weirdo isn't he?"

rolleyes

Cue depression, frustration, and regret of former procrastinations that led me to deal with these kinds of people on a daily basis... sigh

Perhaps your boss doesnt know many talented and good looking people? In which case that would make Prince 'wierd' in his eyes confused lol

I bet his favourite band is Queen. Making him the closet homo! Can't stand people who can't see past their own noses, or in your boss' case, his fat belly!

Can you please leave Queen out of this. They're a fantastic, talented band. And did you know that Brian May was at the O2 watching Prince, he wrote a beautiful article about him, which was posted on this site last week? Your comment has put you in the same league as his boss.

Some insecure men feel they have to mock Prince to prove their masculinity. I think a man who admits he likes Prince is a real man and its dead sexy!! lol lol

Strangely,my statistics/figures at work over the Summer have gone sky high and I just dont understand how this could possibly have happened since the only thing I worked on throughout the Summer was devious ways to obtain Prince tickets, how to outdo the touts, what ebay was asking for front row, how many idiots were selling their tickets for say a Thursday night when their auction ended 3 days after the event, who said what on the ORG and did Prince actually turn up at last nights AF when I decided to miss it out!
To say I had been extremely busy over the Summer was an understatement, but as far as work was concerned, it was just a means of using their PC, time and electricity to get to the next gig!
Do you think I should also consider asking for a pay rise in light of increased activity and fine figures ? LOL (if only they knew.....)
