Tuesday Trivia....

So, after my "Last Christmas" post and "Wham!" shout out, you are all aware of my great love for the group. It's only appropriate that today's "Tuesday Trivia" post concerns the lesser known of the duo, Andrew Ridgeley. Specifically, what ever happened to him after Wham! ended?  If you've wondered about this, here's your answer:

Then

He has deliberately eschewed the showbiz limelight and spends his time playing golf and surfing while his millions earn interest in the bank.

It was in 1994 that Ridgeley quit the London scene with Bananarama sex kitten Keren Woodward  and her son Tom to live in a converted 15th century farm house.

When he does surface, it is to campaign for environmental causes, in particular safer, cleaner water.

While Andrew and George are still close friends, their lives have gone in dramatically different directions since Wham! disbanded in 1986.

After an ill-fated attempt at a solo career, Andrew decided to remain behind the scenes as a songwriter to other artists.

P.S. I'm not the only one who is committed to keeping "Last Christmas" in heavy rotation- Big Ran just emailed me with the following information:

Also, on the way back, one of my friends goes, "You guys want to hear my

favorite Christmas song?"  She presses play and it is Wham!  She said it

is her favorite Christmas song and it makes her Mom cry every time.

And I think we all know why this is the best song ever; because G-Michael's voice sounds like a combination of both Fergie and Jesus....BEST DAY EVER!

Office Etiquette/I Hate People...Revolving Doors

This will be a quick post as it's very specific and about one issue; revolving doors. It's also unique in that it is a hybrid post; it will address office etiquette as well my hatred for people. It wasn't a planned post, just something that came to mind after I was almost mortally wounded while using one as I entered my POE this morning. Just a couple of guidelines (as I've seen some pretty random things happening with them in my time here):

If these kids can get the hang of it, why can't adults?

1. One person at a time (Part One): Do not attempt to go into the same section of the door as another person unless you are conjoined twins. If you are conjoined twins, you probably shouldn't have to work in this sort of environment anyway. And if you do, please make sure you are in sync in regards to your walking pace.

2. One person at a time (Part Two): Do not 'cut' in front of someone to get in the door first. It revolves, you will have your turn momentarily, and if you are that excited about it, remember, you can walk around and around in it all day long just like a hamster in a wheel. And if you're THAT excited about getting into your POE, I think you should probably seek psychiatric care ASAP.

3. Keep the Pace: This is the issue that prompted my post. I hopped into the revolving door this morning and was pushing it as necessary to get into the building. The Brawny Man hopped in in back of me and pushed the door so damn hard I went flying forward and almost tripped. No joke. I turned around and looked at him like I was a wild jungle animal about to maul his face off. He then proceeded to basically dry hump me the whole way down the hall and onto the elevators. He had no concept of personal space and clearly couldn't read social cues as I shot eye daggers his way.

The revolving door is a very simple concept as far as I'm concerned and if you follow the rules above, there should never be an issue in using it safely and without offending others.
