SDAFF 2009: Round Two

I came into work this morning and commented on the music we had playing in the office. My coworker said something along the lines of “Yeah, it’s not that funky music we usually have.” I did a little dance and he says, “Dang, Pamela, getting down! It’s too early for that!” I respond, “Early? I’ve been rocking out ALL WEEK!”

So are you guys ready for round two? Delirium is beginning to set in and this is going to be a whole different level of madness.
