Silliness at work

Bad Stache
I had a very silly afternoon at work. 

I was participating in a usability study on an app so I had to go to another building and sit with someone who asked me questions about why I use an app the way I do.

That got me out of my nice safe office where I sit with a bunch of stuffy attorneys.

On the way to the usability lab, I first  ran into the worlds worst mustache* (see above).....which made me giggle.

Then 100 feet down the way, I ran into the worlds worst sideburns* (see above).  More giggling!

Then I go into the usability study and the guy conducting it had a very heavy accent.  He told me we would be doing a "tink a loot" study. 

I am usually pretty good with accents but I could not decipher this statement. 

So I said, "excuse me"? 

And he said " tink a loot". 

We went back and forth a couple times before i figured out he was saying "think out loud"! 

This time I had to giggle in my head - not out loud!

I was so spent from all the giggling that I had to stop and get a smoothie on the way back to my office!

* Note that these are not actual pictures of the people I saw but I went online and found the closest pics possible.
