NWR: Mike Rowe visited me at work today!

Well, he didn't technically visit me, but he was still here today.

Cool!  Do you have a "dirty job"?

frogurt814

Haha, no, my job is not dirty.  He was here talking about a collaboration he is doing with the company I work for.

I love his voice for some reason. I could have listened to him talk forever.

Suz you're not the only one: he narrates something like half the shows on Discovery channel.  Frogurt, I'm officially jealous.

I am super jealous! Do you work for Ford? I know he's the spokesperson, but what isn't he spokesperson for these days?

frogurt814

I do not work for Ford. 

He didn't sing any opera for us, but he did sing!  He said he wrote a theme song for Dirty Jobs one time when he was sitting at a bar in Oklahoma and now they are playing the song on the radio there.  I honestly had no clue he could sing at all, let alone opera.

He was really great to listen to.  He seemed really relaxed, and he was a lot of fun!  I didn't get a chance to get my picture with him, though, but neither did anyone else so I guess I'm ok with it.  One lady did hug him twice.

oh oh... Edwin McCain, the singer, is an investor in the company I work for. It is a small company and he just comes in to say hi and hang out every now and then. He's awesome!

I used to work for Edward Cullen.  Not the vampire, but still pretty cool that I could say my boss was Edward Cullen. haha.

I was terrible at Spot the Celebrity at Disney.  I took Cindy Crawford out on the Jungle Cruise, and only knew who it was because her daughter had her name on her birthday button and I Googled it when I got home.  l no doubt saw a ton of them in my tenure there, but I didn't recognize any of them.  (Though I did nearly yell at a Jonas brother while they were filming a promo for the Toy Story ride.)

How were you not on the stage, dry humping him? That's what I would have been doing.

My family is in the wine/beer industry.  We've had several people come through to taste, but no one cool has ever come when I have been working.  Minnie Driver has a home in the area and my SIL has met her twice, but I've always missed out.  Alex Trebeck also used to own a neighboring ranch, but he was rarely ever there, so I never saw him either.
