Question for any UK people out there...

Just got a quick question aimed at any UK peeps on my flist - anyone heard of the car rental company 1car1? A workmate is looking at hiring a car from them when she goes overseas, and she's a little nervous about them, since they are asking for payment up front. From what I can see via google, it all looks legit, but ideally she was looking for confirmation from an actual person. What can I say, she's old-fashioned that way :)

Anyway, I said I would throw the question out there, so here it is.

(I've had the urge to call people 'peeps' all day. Not sure why...)

Take your fandom to work day

Yesterday was apparently "Take your Fandom to Work Day". Every time I turned around I was being bludgeoned with fandom references. Think I'm kidding?

It started when I was checking some problems in one of our contracts. To sort things out, I had to use forms SG-1 and SG-2. Which brought a smile to my face, until I actually tried to figure out exactly how I was supposed to fill them in. So, I called the department concerned, and ended up speaking to a lady named Tauri. Luckily, it was over the phone, so she couldn't see my face when she introduced herself.

After sorting out all my Stargate/Contract problems, I had meetings concerning the FMA Act. Which of course translated itself in my mind into Fullmetal Alchemist . Then I went for lunch, down to the cafeteria. Where all the serving people were wearing blue gloves. I had 'two by two, hands of blue' running through my head for my entire break, but everyone survived without major incident.

After lunch was fairly uneventful - the only occurence of my fandoms was someone doing their best Sergant Scultz impersonation - 'I know Nuth-ing'. Some things will never go out of style :)

Anyone else ever have days like this?
