Rise and Shout!

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAACK, cougartown. Resident "Nerd Mom" checking in.

Well, we all know the only reason I wanted this job was for the "A" lot parking pass, but it turns out that BYU is really fantastic in many areas.

1. I get to work with Wolf Shirt this year. Yep. Saw him on the class roll. For more info on him, check out this post as well.
2. Vauna is training me and is the only person who laughs at my jokes. My bosses think I am super weird:
-----A. Gregg asked me to fill out a fun email about myself and "why you're so cool" to send around the department so they can get to know me a little better. I sent this to him, thinking, this would make me want to at least talk to this person and get to know her better in person.

Hello, Gregg. Here is the email you requested yesterday about me. ☺

*I am the new Capstone Administrative Assistant, training with Vauna for the next month until she leaves for graduate school.
*Born in Louisville, KY in the awesome 1980s.
*Moved to Utah as a child; grew up in Orem. My favorite cartoons were Rainbow Brite and Fraggle Rock. I refused to watch Sesame Street because I did not want to conform with society.
*I had to wear an eye patch in Kindergarten to help my lazy eye. Other kids had cool dinosaur ones – mine was Band-Aid brown. Thanks mom!
*I have been regularly attending BYU football games since 7th grade and hate to miss a home game.
*I have been playing the piano and singing since childhood and love music.
*I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Geography from BYU, with an emphasis in Travel & Tourism.
*Traveling is one of my passions and I prefer Europe to any other place on Earth.
*My dad is a local filmmaker and I grew up on movie sets and traveling to shoots.
*I can out-quote anyone when it comes to movies. I always have an opinion about new movies, so feel free to ask me first if you want to know whether or not to see a certain one.
*I am lactose intolerant but never turn down ice cream (thank you Lactaid pills)!
*I am currently serving as Relief Society President in my Singles Ward. It’s amazing the drama 100 young single adult women can create.
*I own every episode of Seinfeld and the available Office episodes on DVD. I am pretty sure I saw Napoleon Dynamite 12 times in the theaters. Changed my life.
*I love getting to know people and hope to hear all about everyone in the office soon!


I hope that’s what you wanted. Let me know if I need to change it at all!

Thanks,

Lindsey Andersen


Well, Gregg sent this back, and I felt humiliated:


Thank you. This is a good start. I would put this into a couple of brief paragraphs and talk a little about your work history and decrease slightly some of the personal data from you early life.


Ha, well I am Ms. Cool. He probably thinks I am the weirdest weirdo that ever lived. Don't worry, he didn't like the second draft either, and I sent the third yesterday.

-----B. While eating at the Sky Room as a welcome for me, we were chatting over delicious food. Bob (sweet 180-year old boss) mentioned that we will be doing this again for Vauna when she leaves. He asked her where she would like to go and she had not yet decided. There was an uncomfortable silence, so I piped up, "I heard she really likes Taco Bell."

Gregg pretended to puke and Vauna was the ONLY one who laughed. I love her. Carl shook his head. Bob said, "Oh, I've never been there. Is it Mexican food?"3. I saw photos of a steel bow contest and got really excited to meet the students this year. Yep.
4. I have consumed 40 pounds of Creamery chocolate milk and an entire box of fudge coconut granola bars (thank you Aleta and Bryan!)... oh and that box of ritz bites from them as well.
5. My first day, a rose was delivered to my desk from Campus Craft & Floral - from HJolley. Love her.6. I have double screens. Oh baby.
7. I get to go to Devotional and classes to improve my computer application skills.
8. Cougareat.
9. Discount to football games.
10. "A" lot parking.

If you are in the area, stop on by. 427 Crabtree. The nerd building.

Love, Linzzzzzzz "trying out for cougarettes again" Andersen
