Good Things About Working At Home

part whatever.

You can make pretend kazoo noises and do Tuvan style throat singing.

I had better get this out of my system before the SO gets home. He is not a big fan of the throat singing.

Also, I had better do some more work. I have a mini-deadline on Monday.

Not to mention yowling along to The Fall

Is there some reason why I shouldn't be doing this in the office instead?

Oh.

Much to my irritation, I can't do throat singing, but I do talk in silly voices all day.

You'll have to give me a demonstration next time I phone you. Which might be this weekend, perhaps tomorrow.

I dunno that you'll enjoy a demonstration...

Did you know that Richard Feynmann was fascinated by the Tuvan throat-singing, and was planning a trip to Tuva at the time of his death?

Did you know that Tuva was once part of a (briefly and nominally) independent country called Tannu-Tuva?

These facts brought to you by the immense accumulation of useless knowledge that is Dara's brain.

Actually, one of the little known upsides to working in an office is *also* being able to make pretend kazoo noises and do Tuvan style throat singing.

I doesn't even matter if you don't have first flippin' clue what Tuvan style throat singing is supposed to sound like. In fact, it works for better effect if you don't.

Come to think of it, it's kind of expected that the further into the bowels of a building your office is located, the more odd your behavior will become. The fun part is bringing yourself right up to that "Okay, I'm goin' home, and I'm comin' back with GUNS!" line without going over it. Because your co-workers know where that line is ... and *BOY* does it creep 'em out! :)
