I did the "Oh, Irene, you shouldn't have..." thing and then I ripped that sucker open to find this:
The Most Excellent Christmas Present EVER! And you know that I immediately threw it on over my work clothes and proceeded to act completely normal--well, for me, anyway. Doesn't everybody wear Bed Intruder shirts to work?
But I found out the hard way that maybe my snappy Bed Intruder shirt isn't proper attire for work when I was standing there consoling another co-worker who not only lost her aunt that morning, but she also slipped and fell on the ice leaving her house. Even Bed Intruder guy couldn't make things better for her.
Bummer. I took it off because it wasn't really the time to be silly.
But I did whip it back on later in the day to model it for some other co-workers who think the Bed Intruder song is hilarious too. And we all shared a major giggle over my new found snappy t-shirt.
Until I turned around to see the COO of our company standing next to me. Flew in from California for a visit. Ugh.
I immediately crossed my arms in front of the Greatest Present Ever and shook his hand. And while he stepped in front of me to shake Johnny's hand, I whipped that bad boy off and handed it off to Irene....who ran it back to my cubicle and put it away.
Whew!
Not only does Irene give the greatest presents EVER...she's also got my back. I love Irene.
And I love my new Bed Intruder shirt.

Now that is a cool present! My Mommeh wants to get a Charlie teh Unicron tee-shirt. But it might be only for wearing to work on Saturdays.
Lin, you can thank me later for your love of Mr. Bed Intruder.
I saw the video was number one of the year somewhere.
COO was there-too cool.
COOOOOL! Three cheers for internet phenomenons! Plus, something that hilarious should always be proper work attire.
Maybe your COO would have lusted after your best present ever. You never know.....
What the heck is a bed intruder?? Well, besides the one eyed snake ;) heehee!
Off to figure it out in the link you gave us!

I can imagine that there are corporate people who would not have a sense of humor about that. I bet you look fabulous in it :).
I didn't know the Bed Intruder song so thanks to you and Irene for keeping me hip! I bed the COO totally missed that you were wearing that shirt one minute and not the next! :)
I absolutely love how you insisted on wearing it, despite all the signals that maybe you shouldn't. That's determination!
I have to admit that i tried to listen to the bed intruder song but just couldn't make it through the whole thing. But hey, if it's what makes you smile, that's all that counts. And lucky you to have such a great person to work with.
So what did you get Irene? :)
WOW...now THAT was a thoughtful gift;) I hope you wear it everyday on top of your clothes to work. That way people will just become desensitized to it and it will then become OK to wear.
Daisy--Oh, I like Charlie the Unicorn too! Maybe Irene can find a Charlie t-shirt for Mommeh.
Jodi--I thank you every single day of my life for introducing me to such entertainment, Jodi. :)
Helene--Yeah, it was #1 Viral Video on youtube, I believe. I wonder if the COO knows about the Bed Intruder. I never thought to ask!
Ben--Can you believe that guy has t-shirts now???! Scary. I definitely think it is good work attire although there are others who will disagree--mainly my boss. Someone is always the buzzkill.
Pricilla--Hahaha! Maybe! Wouldn't it be funny if he knew the song?! I didn't want to find out or not. :)
Nellie--Oh, this was just another thing for me, Jim, and Irene to laugh at while we were pretending to be working. They have since blocked us from YouTube. Sigh.
Anne--I have sort of found that the higher up you are in a corporation, the less sense of humor you have. It's a strange phenomena.
Beaded Tail--He had NO idea! Which made us laugh harder. Irene and I work hard to keep you all informed. :)
Kathy--And while I was wearing it, Irene was busting up behind me. I'll do anything to make Irene laugh--can you tell?
Ann--What??! You didn't like the bed intruder song???! Did you watch the news report before that? I guess it is just silly how wound up that guy was. Or we had nothing to do at work that day. :) I got Irene a boring old Dilbert calendar for her desk. That's what she wanted, but I'm gonna have to really work on her gift next year.
Nancy--I'm thinking that might just cause everyone to be extra jealous of me and make them not talk to me anymore. There are already a few who eye-roll and suck their teeth as it is. It is all jealousy, I'm sure. ;)
O period K period
oh my gosh! That is awesome! LOL! Irene does give the best presents ever!
That really is the best Christmas present ever! I absolutely love that song. I need to buy it so I can work out to it.
I also want that Auto Tune the News song #11:
We don't know you
We don't want you
Well, what can I say? I think I'm in the minority here 'cause I don't find it funny at all. But, you know me, whatever makes you happy pally.
