Finally, a use for that peg leg
Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 3:20PM First day of new job.
“You met everyone?” the new boss asks. “Did you meet Scallywag?” He gestures to a Hallowe’en skeleton, who is actually decorated for Easter.
“Um? We weren’t actually introduced, no.”
“He’s our mascot. Every year we celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The best costume wins a trophy.”
…I think it’s safe to say I’ve found my tribe.

LOL! Sounds awesome!!!
If I did not teach first grade, I would want to work at your job. Arg!
I don't care what that job is, it's the most awesome job on the planet!
Yes! That sounds AWESOME! So... Did you find out what day it is?
That is awesome! Congratulations!
OK, you may have found the holy grail of employers. And me and my garbage pail that is my favorite coworker are VERY jealous ;)
Ha! That's hella cool! Sounds like you've hit the jackpot :)
LOL! That's so awesome. Much better than my first day. :)
That's awesome! So happy for you that you made it out of the soul-suck you were at. Well done!
Oh man, my husband would LOVE to work there, especially if you get to speak in Pirate talk all day long.... Too funny!
I think I'd take a pay cut to spend the day talking like a pirate.
That is definitely your tribe.
How awesome is that?! Looks like you found your place in the world. Feels good, no?
It's all good in the world when you've discovered your roots!
Arrrr me hearties!
It's safe to say you'll have some awesome co-workers, eye-patches and all.
That is the most awesome thing I have ever heart. I totally want to work there with you!
OMG! You've stepped into job nirvana.
Yar matey! In one of my previous jobs, the mascot was Fred Flinstone- he was carefully painted chainsaw art- that rough-cut log stuff. He'd get dressed up for every holiday. I miss Fred.
I'm totally bringing 'Talk like a pirate day' to the Dementia unit I work on.
fuck. we could do it every day.
That sounds like the perfect job! Our office is a little similar, but a little bit more rambunctious considering the field of work. Let's just hope it's not a Honeymoon phase!

I say you don't limit yourself to just one day.
YARRRR!
You're gonna own that trophy.
OMG that is utterly and completely fantabulous!!
