The Edie Brickell earworm, “What I Am” has been in my head for a solid week. Today, I took it to mean that I am supposed to be inspired by her lyrics. I joked that I was channeling my inner Jedi on Twitter and Plurk, but we all know that the psycho hose beast always comes out to play when I feel that I have been uninspired or wronged. I know I said I was at acceptance on Tuesday, but I found out yesterday that yet another promotion possibility went to a man. Inspired by Citizen Jane to find some music that soothes my savage soul, I found that:
- I’m not aware of too many things.
- I’m only happy when it rains.
- I am 32 flavors and then some.
- I ain’t got no … (promotion) … but I got life.
- I’m a little bit of everything all rolled into one.
- I’m a woman, and the best is yet to come.
- I’m a restless spirit on an endless flight.
- I’m a hazard to myself.
- I wish the real world would stop hassling me.
- I’ve got a love that is all mine.
- I want to shake my money maker.
- I’ve got such a long way to go.
- I don’t know; it’s just the way I am.
From Paul Simon’s wife to Slim Shady in 13 steps … I am fucking fabulous.
(Edited to include linky-links on Friday because if it is TL I know you DR, Boog. And #2 and #9 are for you.)
No surprise — I love this TT! (and &#$* to that promotion stuff)
You are fucking fabulous, even without 13 musical steps.
PS: That Eagles clip is also fucking fabulous. Wow.
You are fucking fabulous!
cool list for TT! Happy TT! hope you’ll visit mine too…
No arguments here – you are fabulous indeed!
an excellent job as always keep up the good work
How come no one ever says that there are too many men in admin or management and force the companies to hire women? Why is “gender equality” still a one way street?
But are fabulous and I’m sure that you’ve already thought of unleashing Monkey Boy on their unappreciative asses, right? “You want a man (boy), I’ll give you a man (boy)!” And then have him pee all over the men’s restroom. Just sayin’
That’s quite an eclectic mix right there. Love it! Maybe you should become a radio program director and mix up the little boxes in which everybody sees music.
of COURSE you are!!!
Excellent TT. I loves Shirley.
Rock on! You are fucking fabulous!
And I’m sorry to hear about the promotion opportunity going to someone else, it’s their loss!
From Paul Simon’s wife to Slim Shady in 13 steps … yeah, not everyone can pull that off.
Great list!
Great post and I wish the world would stop hassling me as well. happy TT!
Angst and music are the new pb&j
Me thinks someone has a YouTube addiction.
Rupe’s freakin’ zausted …..
Freakin’. Zausted.

wow what a great TT! very creatively associative of you, tho i’m sure you’re not a bitch or a witchy woman.. number 9 vid is no longer available and i’m not big on rap, but do like eminem, whoops there goes gravity! oh and by the way, i WILL figure out how to turn off comment moderation on my blog, just for you
i have always wondered how to turn it off, coz it just means i get two emails per comment… happy TT! and thanks for stopping by! 
You are fucking fabulous! Whoo Hoo!! This is a wonderful idea. Of course, mine would start at Germ’s manimal and end with the Cure’s “Charlotte Sometimes” but then again….
Ah, the corporate ladder. I remember those days. I had such a hard time climbing up until I learned to how knock off the men ahead of me, one by one. . . .muhahahaha!
Then I learned that I wanted my own ladder.
Two words. Rat Bastards.
You deserve to be treated better by worse people.
Here’s my personal anthem. May it help you get through the doldrums.
What, no “99 problems but a (Devil Wears Purple) bitch ain’t one”?
Yeah, just me being hopeful for ya. Heh.
@ Citizen Jane ~ Did you know I have ruby lips and sparks fly from my fingertips?
@ Topsurf ~ That’s what I keep telling everybody!
@ Prettylifeonline ~ Comment love will always get you a return visit.
@ Greytfriend ~ Always avoid arguments and alliteration.
@ Godfather ~ We just “Keep on Keeping on” like Curtis Mayfield.
@ Dingo ~ I cannot rock the boat if I ever expect to be promoted. It’s sadly that simple.
@ Los Angelista ~ I dreamed I was Rick Dees once. Does that count?
@ Janet ~ Obviously, it has not run its COURSE yet.
@ Starrlight ~ I could be lesbian for one night with Shirley Manson.
@ Miss Attitude ~ I know things will work out in the bitter end.
@ Suzanne ~ I do many things well ~ none of which generate income.
@ Chris ~ I would let Rob Thomas push me down and take me for granted if he wanted.
@ Deanna ~ My angst brings all the people to my blog.
@ CableGirl ~ I see colors in (and silence the voices with) music.
@ Ruprecht ~ There … there … I don’t use jelly.
@ Elaine ~ Comment moderation disturbs me greatly.
@ Claudia ~ You do sell sanctuary.
@ PopArtDiva ~ The corporate ladder might be easier than the school district bureaucracy. I want to be sedated sometimes.
@ fandpinlv ~ I could lick Jameson off another great Irish bad boy … Colin Farrell.
@liprap ~ Devil Wears Purple is being replaced by “Not a Touchy Feely Bitch” (I think that shall be her name, according to preliminary results.)
Really? Again? I’m so sorry to hear it went to someone else.
Some of these tunes were exactly what I needed today.
@ Sandy ~ Music helps to soothe the voices in my head that chide: “Kill them all! Kill them all right now!”
