one thing our ceo knows about me

[rivendellrose]

Last night after work I went upstairs to wait for The Boy, and was attempting to be a Good and Quiet Person because our CEO (...well, he's not really the CEO anymore since the crazy buy-out over the summer, but he's the highest-ranking guy in our building and he's still the CEO in my head) sits just a few desks away from him. (Yeah, I know, how awesome is that? My fiance sits right by the CEO! But gloating over that isn't actually the point of this story.)

The point of this story is that while I was waiting for The Boy to finish a few things up, my phone rang.

See, a while ago I thought "I need a new ring-tone." And it just so happened that this was after we'd just finished BSG. ...You can imagine what happened. I ended up getting a nice little bit of freeware audio-editing software precisely so that I could cut the full track "Kara Remembers" from the S4 soundtrack down to the bit where she remembers the song. So when my phone rings, it doesn't just ring. It plays the piano version of the Final Five theme. And my phone actually has fairly robust little speakers, so it's totally recognizable. Anyway, I love my stealth-geek ring-tone. But of course, all I'm thinking at that moment is "perfectly silent office, almost everybody's gone, CEO trying to work, god damn it, why can't I find my phone?" Eventually I got it, called miss_arel back briefly, and hung up... whereupon my phone, which had apparently decided it hadn't embarrassed me enough that evening, rang again, this time for no apparent reason. AHHHH!

Today, The Boy tells me he ran into the CEO in the office.

CEO smiles at him. And says, "So, is your girlfriend a Cylon?"

I admit - when he told me this, I squealed. I've worked for this company for almost four years without attracting the slightest attention from the CEO. If there is going to be only one thing he connects me with, I can stand that being it. ♥

Hee! That's so cool! My phone plays the instrumental Firefly theme from the credits - I have yet to have anyone recognize it. One time, on my previous phone, a stranger on the bus asked if I liked Arrested Development (it was The Final Countdown), and that was pretty neat.

Awww, that's an awesome ring-tone! I'm kind of shocked no one's recognized that, honestly - it was such a popular show in the brief time it was on!

:) It's always fun to have one's subtle geekiness get noticed.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

It is! Nobody else recognizes it (apart from The Boy), so I was thrilled to have it noticed.
