Food Fun: At the Office

My new job is interesting, to say the least. Very interesting characters here.
Last Monday, upon seeing my iPod Shuffle earbuds in my ears as I walked into work, the Student Director, a very British Chef asks:

BC: Are you enjoying your rock music.
Me: It's not rock.
BC: Who then?
Me: Vivaldi
BC: Summer?
Me: Spring.

Tuesday:
BC: Vivaldi?
Me: Dvorak
BC: Slavonic Dances?
Me: Carnival Overture

Wednesday:
BC: Who?
Me: Prokofiev
BC: Peter and the Wolf?
Me: Romeo and Juliet

Thursday:
BC: More Romeo and Juliet?
Me: Copeland.
BC: Hoedown?
Me: Appalachian Spring

I didn't see him on Friday, however, this Monday:

BC: Who today?
Me: Back to Prokofiev
BC: More Romeo and Juliet
Me: Of course

Tuesday:
BC: Prokofiev?
Me: Saint Saens
BC: Oh dear, Danse Macabre?
Me: Organ Symphony

Wednesday:
BC: Prokofiev? Vivaldi?

BC: I KNEW you liked rock music.
ME: But, it Classic Rock
BC: So it is. There is hope for you.

What's a Girl to do?

OK. I confess. I joined a dating site with the hope of finally (a long last) meeting the love of my life. I have to admit. The bastards won. I was in contact with a man who seemed to be very interested and exchanged several emails with me...he was educated, an art dealer, seemed classy from his emails. Then, he asked me to send him money. LOTS of money. We had not even reached the stage of talking on the phone when he asked me for money. I don't mean to get on a rant here and most people who read my blog know that I do not rant very often, but... I am thoroughly cheesed off by this character for a number of reasons.

Suppose you are at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruv...
