Alabama Shakes helped get me through 7 months in the desert.

In my previous gig I worked with a CVT surgeon at thought he was the coolest guy on the planet. He was a complete "tool". Never met anyone with less taste in anything in my life. But he insisted on, no lie, Brittany F*cking Spears. We finally took a vote and made him feel completely uncultured. It worked. He never recovered but we were much better off from that day on.
Very jealous. And still a little bitter about the whole thing. Doubly bad when your friends parents let them go. Of course most of them aren't pulling the lifestyle I am now so maybe it turned out okay in the longrun. Maybe.
We had an ophthalmologist that, around Christmas time, insisted on playing his Muppets Christmas CD. You don't know pain until you have listened to the 12 Days of Christmas sang by the entire cast of the Muppets. I'll take Brittany any day over that. Thankfully, he was asked by his Chairman to vacate the premises a few weeks later (unrelated to the Muppets fiasco, but should have been a fireable offense, IMHO).
