Day 10: A Sports Related Blog Entry from a Chick

We are looking for a new Controller for my company, so we have applicants coming in and out of the office all day long.

We had someone come in yesterday who looked exactly like Jackie Mac.

I should stop the story right now and explain who Jackie Mac is.  Jackie MacMullan is an occasionally featured panelist on Around the Horn on ESPN. She writes for the Boston Globe.

You're probably wondering why I know who Jackie Mac is, as well as why I even watch ESPN.

Around the Horn is a bit of a daily tradition in my house. It's a panelist show on ESPN, and every day, Eric and I race home to watch it. Afterwards, out of sheer laziness, we have started to watch Pardon the Interruption.  I like PTI, which the exception of the segment 5 Good Minutes, which is the most inappropriately named segment on television currently.

Anyway, I watch an horrendous amount of international soccer, as well golf, and White Sox baseball. My second favorite team is the Boston Red Sox, mostly because when watching their games I can scream GO BEAN TOWN at the TV.

On the topic of me watching Soccer and Golf, my whole company thinks that I watch the most boring sports in history. They are convinced that if curling were televised nightly I would be planted in front of the TV watching it.

And, I would like to take the time to state something right now: I am a Packer's Fan. It's not that I hate the Bears, I just really thought Brett Farve was a really stand up guy.

And, well, the Bears have ... Rex Grossman.

(And, for the record, Eric is an AVID Bears fan. And we have had many an argument that has ended with him screaming at me "FOR THE RECORD WOMAN WE BLEED BLUE AND ORANGE IN THIS HOUSE!"

ANYWAY, before I get too off topic, when Eric and I get home, we make horn signs by putting up one finger on each hand and placing them on either side of our heads, and then we scream "HORN" at each other.

So, when the Human Resources Guy comes to meet with the Jackie Mac look-a-like that is interviewing for the Controller position, I am mouthing to HR Guy "OMG LOOK IT IS JACKIE MAC ESPN JACKIE MAC" and he is looking at me strangely, and as he turns to show her into the conference room, I make the horn sign. AND SHE TURNS AROUND TO LOOK AT ME. She sees me making horns and an odd face, and looks very confused.

And I respond with "...moo?"

Because, for whatever reason, that seemed like the logical reaction at the time.
