Help me not get fired, part II

[trinityofone]

Things have been insane at work. We're closing the issue, so I've been putting in 12-hour-plus days editing the "boards," which last night got sent out to be returned to us as proofs, and then the craziness will resume. In the tiny, two-day lull, I'm supposed to start working on something for the next issue, and I could really use your help. We do an annual "Most" list, and I need to come up with suggestions. Here are some of the ones I've already come up with, to give you an idea:

MOST OMGWTFPOLARBEAR ENGAGEMENT: Dominic Monaghan & Evangeline Lilly
MOST LIKELY TO BE THE NEXT TO CLAIM WE’RE INTEROGATING THE TEXT FROM THE WRONG PERSPECTIVE: M. Night Shyamalan
MOST LIKELY TO BREAK THE GEORGIA RULE: Lindsay Lohan
MOST AWESOME TITLE IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING, EVER: Snakes on a Plane
MOST LIKELY TO CONFUSE A BELT AND A BRA: Keira Knightley
MOST IN NEED OF SUPER-SIZING: Kate Bosworth
MOST INVISIBLE BABY: Suri Cruise

Now, most of these are, I fear, too obscure and too geeky. I also haven't thought of enough of them. I'm just...out of the loop, not the pop culture junkie I used to be (or not of enough mainstream culture, anyway). So, it would be doing me an enormous favor if you wanted to suggest some things for our "Most" list. And, in theory, I think it would be kind of fun, if you're not worried about getting fired over it.

(I am worried. I've worked here six weeks, and my boss has never once told me "good job," or even smiled at me. I don't know if this is just the kind of guy he is (he seems looser and nicer around other people, although that may just be me being paranoid) or if he really doesn't like me. It's incredibly demoralizing.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And in case you're (quite rightly) wondering: no, you won't get credit for this—except forever in my heart! *g*—but neither will I; the piece is collaborative and runs without a byline. But I will send you a copy of the issue if you want it.

Thank you!

Man, I wish I could help you, but I live in a bigger hole then you do. The only things I could think of are
MOST IN NEED OF OF A MUFFIN: Paris Hilton
MOST LIKELY TO BECOME A HOLLYWOOD PARIAH: Mel Gibson (or something similar, but you should totally make a jab at him.)
MOST LIKELY TO SUCK DUE TO BAD NETWORK HANDLING: Veronica Mars (a companion piece to GILMORE GIRLS?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot CW?!)
MOST LIKELY TO BE THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF NEXT YEAR, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS: POTC3

Good luck though, I hope it all works out for you. And maybe you're boss just is like that, you're the new girl, things might be hard for a while until you really make a spot for yourself .

*HUGGLES* GOOD LUCK!! *cake*

Oh, Mel is definitely getting jabbed, don't you worry. *g*

MOST LIKELY TO SUCK DUE TO BAD NETWORK HANDLING: Veronica Mars

Oh, I hope you're wrong about that! *is nervous for show* But it's a good thing to include.

And yeah, PotC3. Did I like 2? No. Am I going to see 3? You betcha.

And maybe you're boss just is like that, you're the new girl, things might be hard for a while until you really make a spot for yourself .

I thought that, but he seems much friendlier with the other new girl than he is with me. Maybe I'm just paranoid? Or maybe I smell funny.

Most Likely to be Attacked by a Stuffed Cougar: Will Farrell

Most likely to be remembered as a gay pirate: Johnny Depp

Most grateful to not have to fake a limp anymore: Hughe Laurie

Most likely to be caught cheating: Keith (what'shisface) from Project Runway

Most likely to go on forever: Stargate SG-1

And I'm out. . . . that is all the popluar culture I can think of. *ded*

Whoa...is it true that House is losing his limp? I though that was just a crazy rumor!

I wonder if anyone here even knows that Stargate exists. But I'll put it on there anyway. *g*

Thank you for all your help! =)

(He gets the cane back, apparently. I read that an on-set reporter saw them shooting an ep and he had it. *shrugs*)

(Yeah, I can't really imagine him without it. That would be like...well, it would be really weird. Though this reminds me that I am surprisingly excited about that show starting up again.)

Your icon is really pretty!

(I'll sit in my corner about that. I call it the "Let's Change the Show Title to 'Wilson, MD', 'kay?" corner. I love me some Jimmy.)

Thank you muchly! Made it from a really sexy manip slodwick made.
