Boy, when you people said you had the cheese, you weren't kidding! I'm in the midst of copying, pasting, and alphabetizing all of the participants' playlists into one master compilation, mostly because a few non-swappers requested it, but also because I'm curious to see which songs and artists we all kept gravitating to. So far I've been bombarded with duplicates from the likes of Air Supply, Bon Jovi, the Bangles, Billy Joel, and REO Speedwagon, and there's been multiple selections from Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Stevie Wonder, and of course, the inspiration for this whole shebang, Lionel Richie. If he knew about all the good work that's been accomplished in his name these last few weeks, I'm positive he'd manage a dance on the ceiling in our honor.
I hope to post the master list on Thursday, by which time I plan to have shared my own musical trainwrecks. But that's assuming I haven't drowned in the waves of paperwork swimming around on my desk, so keep your fingers crossed that I survive this work week unscathed.
In other news, the Coin Watch of 2006 is still going strong in the female administrative restroom. Everytime I pass through I enter the first stall with the intent to conduct business as usual until I see those fiesty flashes of metal glimmering from the bottom of the commode. Sometimes the pieces are stacked one on top of the other, like I originally found them, and sometimes they're side by side, huddled together, holding fast to their one inch of porcelain real estate. At one point I swear I saw two quarters, but seeing as the odds of one of my coworkers making change in the john are slim, and also seeing as the five hours of sleep I got last night after spending ALL SUNDAY wrapping presents and addressing Christmas cards might have contributed to a self-delusional mindframe, I let the matter go.
But you know I'll be checking tomorrow.
Too funny - about the coins in the toilet. I can't believe they are still there!
Can't wait to see the master list. I know I contributed to the growing list of Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan!

I've received 2 of my cd's and I'm loving every minute of it.
HOORAY!
(they will be perfect for my new iPod.)

I can't wait to see the master list--my computer may just combust from the sheer amount of cheese it will contain.

Too bad that coins are not magnetic. That could be the answer to some extra change.

So much for the night cleaning crew, eh friend?
Go ahead and toss a dime into the next stall. Then the next day, another. See if the office gets talking...

how crazy is it that the coins are still there? although, i'm not sure i'd be jumping at the chance to pull money out of a public toilet. i'm cheap, but not THAT cheap. well... i guess it depends on how much money is involved... heh.

Hee. What if somebody could poop quarters? That would be kind of cool.
Messy, but profitable.
