you must be here for the focus group

sometimes i wonder why i work at a pop culture megacenter. all my other friends are either in grad school (smartest. move. ever.) or working in semi-professional jobs. they wear suits. they shake hands. not that i have anything against our jeans and t-shirt and high five dude hug* work culture, but sometimes i look around and wonder if i'm still in college. or high school, in some cases. just the other day the weatherman predicted "below freezing temperatures", so in mtv land that means: "wear uggs with your mini skirt" - which is exactly what i saw one girl sporting as she got into my elevator. i was going up, she was trying to get to the lobby, where i'm sure she's meeting her equally as clever friend to go do something really smart together. (22, 23, 24...) she kept pressing the L button, hoping that it would change its mind (25, 26...) and direction just for her. i wanted to tell her that she had to clap three times and spin around and touch her toes to make it work. but i didn't. i bet she would have too...

* just to clarify the high five dude hug: it's when two guys see each other, approach as if to high five, and then keep the five going in a right shoulder touching double back pat embrace generally lasting 2-4 seconds. you know it. you do it.

nice. you definitely used "sporting". that's awesome!
and negative on the high five dude hug. i think, ahem, we think, (dentists) are too indie to do that.
