Ah gotcha. In contrast, whenever I tell one of my bosses that I'm stressed, she offers me a Xanny. I can never tell if she's joking.
Ha. My one boss that's cool, when I told him about festivals he kind of lit up (older guy in his 60's). Started telling me about when he and his friends took mushrooms and drove around town looking at the buildings. Then told me about how one summer he worked on Willie Nelson's ranch (he lives around the area). Said he'd never smoked so much in his life, nor met people how could smoke that much. Said Willie would come around in his Cadillac and hand out bud. Many times they were actually paid in it. That'd be a summer to (try) remember!
Do people assume you're a drugged out hippie if you say you're going to a music festival? I've always told my bosses about Roo; it never really occurred to me that there might be a reason not to.
For me it's different, just a preference. I'm not close with my co-workers nor do I want to be. It's just part of my personal life which they know very little about and I'd like to keep it that way.

Whaaaaaat. That would be ridiculous. My life needs more ridiculous experiences. At the end of this summer, or possibly at the beginning of next summer (more likely), I'm thinking of doing a workaway program where you go live different places for a month or two at a time - you work a 4-5 hours a day doing farming or other labor work in exchange for a room and meals. There's a group of clowns in Arizona that seem pretty promising.

Everyone in my office knows how much I love Bonnaroo and either teases me about it or takes a genuine interest in it (usually both). I have a couple cool pictures of the arch and the what stage hanging at my desk and last year I did a post-it note countdown clock to go with the photos. Now everyone always asks me how many days until Roo and they're always impressed that I know right off the top of my head (thank you countdown thread).
I'm really tempted to pack my lunch in the ticket lunchbox to add another level of ridiculousness.

I get the same reaction from most people I know when I tell them about the weekend, they say "don't have too much fun"? I love the people in my life, but that is really horrible advice. Maybe they know me better then I think?

I talked about it nonstop last year because it was my first Roo and I just couldn't contain myself. I even pulled the location up on google earth and would look at all the pics that were there. I got teased pretty mercilessly about it. Then I told then I cried for most of Pauls set and how when I watch some of my videos I still cry. They tease me about that now too.

Wait...you're not already?!?
The cafeteria here is surprisingly tasty or else I would do it every day.

As far as work goes, I am the boss. For those who know music, I tell them what's up...the rest get the "camping" or "gonna be in TN, don't call me". My problem is that all of my friends (boring family folks...wife, kids, etc.) think I'm too old (46) to be partying like a rock star. Personally, I think the men are jealous because I got balls enough to tell the wife I'm headin' out solo. (Whole family in on Firefly though...because its only 45 min away and she's in on Coachella for next year)

If they know nothing about music festivals, probably not. If they know a little about music festivals, probably.
*shrug* I work doing art-type stuff, people don't trust you in that sort of job unless you come across as a hippie-who-showers. I'd rather be a hippie than a hipster.

Yes. I definitely pick and choose who I let in on the details of my vacations.

I was reluctant to tell my boss, but I ended up telling him where I was going. He's not much older than I am, and plays in a band.. likes radiohead etc. He was pretty cool with it.. but otherwise, yea I wouldn't have told him if I didn't think he was open minded.

Second that. Just dont want to even cross into the threshold of how my Roo was with my boss.

Yeah...Bonnaroo is probably not something you want your boss to know about.

My boss knows about it but if my job were more serious/substantial I'd maybe refer to it as something else. I've been going so many years that it's become kind of a tradition and not looked at as a "party vacation" or anything.

The same here. They are so used to all my festivals that it's just an accepted thing. I really go to too many to try to hide he truth anyway.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I guess things are different here since everyone knows what Bonnaroo is and when it is... it's kind of hard to lie about it Luckily, both places I've worked have been cool with it.

My boss is actually really cool with it. I think she used to be a hippie. I don't really tell the people I work "for" where I am going though
I don't quite get the concept of "used to be a hippie". If one is really a hippie then the outer trappings may change but the inner hippie is always there

She may still be, I only see her outer trappings at work
Is it because they feel unnatural? I just had an extraction and got a bridge. It feels weird and I can't leave it the hell alone. It's just a temporary though, so I'm hoping that when I get the permanent one, I'll be able to get used to it.

No it's because I can't make silly faces anymore =(

Implants, if properly done, feel like your natural teeth. They graft a metal "root" to your jaw bone, then attach a ceramic tooth to it. Personally, that's the route I'd recommend going, all this other crap like crowns / root canals / bridges / whatever... is just a path to a bunch of pain. As long as your jaw bone is a good candidate for the graft, it's fantastic.

My boss either calls it Bangaroo or Fuckaroo or Orgy fest and always threatens me with a drug test when I get back. He's also my best friend so I lucked out in that dept. I work in the corporate headquarters and the only tattoo I have that you can see when Im in "professional" mode is my Roo tattoo on my wrist. I love when people ask me what it means.
