You Know You're a 9 to 5 Fan When...
Earlier today, 9 to 5 producer Seth Greenleaf Tweeted the following list of fun 9 to 5 fan characteristics. This list was developed by the NBS crew, and the 9 to 5 folks are having a lot of fun with it. Well done, everyone!
You know you're a fan of 9 to 5: The Musical when...
- You've seriously considered turning a certain critic from a rooster to a hen with one shot.
- You can't use a photo copier without singing "Out of Control" and/or doing the little dance Stephanie did by the photocopier in the LA version.
- Whenever you are in a bathroom you feel the need to check under all the stalls for feet first.
- At a time when you are struggling with something, the lyrics to "I Just Might" or "Change It" suddenly make you believe you can do whatever it is you need to.
- You think it is really wrong when you ask someone what hours their work shift is and they reply with 8-5.
- When watching the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince scene with Malfoy and Harry fighting in the bathroom, you giggle to yourself as the angle below the stalls reminds you of Roz hiding in the cubicle.

- You are a registered member on Nothing But Sun.
- You wish you could do flips like Spencer Liff.
- When you feel guilty, you make someone waffles.
- You can't wait for the next Tory Ross/Andy Karl Daphne YouTube video creation.
- You hit your friend sitting next to you every time you miss a song deleted from LA to Broadway.
- Riding Snow White's Scary Adventure at Disneyland will never be the same.
- When you shoot a rooster in the Disneyland Toy Story ride, you can't help but quote the show.
- When you really want them to sell the "Bastard at the Family Reunion" shirt.
- You have a new fondness for cute little skunks and for Bambi.
- You remove pesky siblings from your room by blaring "Get Out and Stay Out."
- You refer to larger hats as "Judy hats."
- You make sure you store your rat poison far away from your artificial sweetener.

- When you hear someone's name is Mindy you reply "With an I?"
- When watching a mandatory sexual harrassment training session you couldn't help but think about the related scenes from the show.
- You've actually USED the "Rooster to a hen" quote.
- When you watch Days of Our Lives or any soap opera you can't help but laugh when someone gets amnesia...after all, "They always do."
- You've had entire conversations about Steph's wigs changing from LA to Broadway.
- Whenever someone does anything remotely gross, you feel the need to say, "You are disssguuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssting" exactly like Megan.
