I’ve been Bubléd.
Michael Bublé has been creeping up on me for a while now.
I barely noticed when he made his first appearance in my Jack Johnson Pandora channel. Then he proceeded to carve out a spot next to Maroon 5 and I finally put a name with the voice. My curiosity was piqued when I found him taking up residence alongside Jem, but it wasn’t until he started to edge in with Amos Lee that I realized something was amiss. While I’d been busy looking the other way (and neglecting to hit the “skip” button,) Bublé had infiltrated my playlists and taken over.
Suddenly he was everywhere! Any time I returned to my office I’d find him waiting there in the shadows, promising to give more than he got. He crooned on and on about love as I conferenced with coworkers and my boss. On long days when the sun sank low on the horizon as I sat hunched over my computer keyboard, he was there softly willing me to save the last dance for him. Taking advantage of my indifference, Bublé had become ever-present, and he had no trouble reminding me how good he felt about it.
Today when I returned to my office I really did find Michael Bublé waiting there, frowning at me from my bookshelf.
Threatening me from my desk.
…and even springing out at me when I dared to seek a moment of quiet solitude in the women’s restroom.
Last year the office was overrun by crickets, but this year its apparent we’ve got a Bublé infestation. And quite frankly, I’m terrified.

Thanks for my second feature on the WordPress homepage! I appreciate the encouraging feedback.
And now he’s married an Argentinian so he’s creeping up on us, too!
Hilarious!
Ahh, Buble. He has a way if creeping into every aspect of my life too
But that’s a good thing, right…?
me too . i think it good thiing
Thank you for starting my day with a good hardy laugh! This is too funny. It’s funny how things creep up on you through Pandora isn’t it. In keeping with full disclosure….I sort of like Michael Buble in an intrigued sort of way. Don’t be afraid I think he is harmless.
If I need to be afraid of anyone, it’s the coworker who posted these all over the place.
(JK! She was really sweet. I’ve been stressed out for the last couple of weeks and I think she did this to make sure I started my week off with a laugh.)
LOL! Get a bug spray.
bublelebueblue’d.
Hahaha! I love Michael Buble
I adore Michael Buble. I’ve actually gotten really close to him at a concert and dorked out a lot. This was funny, thanks.
Ickkkk. I’d be scared, too. Mandatory earplugs might have to be written into the Office Dresscode.
Love this! <3
I like Buble in small bits. Some of his songs are so cheerful, so inspiring that it reminds me of being in a manic state and we cannot stay there all of the time.
That’s how I feel about his stuff. It’s all right, but not in large doses. And I’m not really into listening to croony music for hours on end, anyway, so a song here or there is usually all I can take.
Buble is like chocolate… one more is too many, but one more is never enough…
That’s FANTASTIC! I may have to use that soon.
hahahahahah!!!
LOL. Congrats on getting pressed…again
That is too funny. I’m glad this post was Freshly Pressed because “I just hadn’t met you yet.” See what I did there. Come on over to my page when you get a chance. Congrats!
Well done! Nice to meet you.
Ah, but did you start you cry him a river when they appeared…
Very funny! Kudos to the co-worker for something so silly. But at first, I’m sure it was a little “Am I the only one seeing this?” Congrats on Freshly Pressed.
Congrats, C! So excited for you! I love the pictures too.
Thanks! The pictures are from my cruddy little phone camera, which the Verizon guy told me last week “definitely needs an upgrade.” Psha! I think I’m okay with what I’ve got!
I understand so well, we’ve moved on to being on a first name basis, since he rides in my car so often. Silly Michael.
Congrats btw!
Sort of like getting Rick Rolled…
I was just going to say the exact same thing!
Hysterical!! Thanks.
Congrats on being fresly pressed twice–I’ve only been here once, but, gosh, now I’m gonna aim for another round. Good for you!
Kathy
Thanks! Both times it came as a complete surprise!
Funny!
I must confess I have no idea who Buble is – and, perhaps, it’s better that way….
When I first saw the title, I actually read it as “I’ve been Bubbe’d” – I thought you looked a bit young to be a Jewish grandmother.
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
I had a similar situation but with George Michael. I was sure he was following me because no matter where I went his music would be on. Radio, restaurants, stores in the mall, hair dresser, everywhere. I’d much rather have George Michael follow me than Michael Buble.
Congrats!
I hope he didn’t follow you into a beach bathroom…
Love it! The post, not the Buble. I guess he’s ok for the croony christmas stuff. In the bathroom? Creepy!
Congraulations on Freshly Pressed!
This is awesome!!!! Made me smile!
As creepy as this may sound, ha, ha I find it hilarious! It actually made my day;)
super fun! thanks – and yes he’s all over pandora in my office, too. i’ll keep an eye on the bathroom!
The pictures made me laugh.
Now, this is TOO funny!! I love the pic of him jumping from the bathroom stalls lol
That one’s my favorite too.
Ah Bublé….the force is strong with him! He has a way of just taking residence in your head. I want to dislike his music, but can’t.
I LOVE BUBLE! HE MAKES MY HEART SING! HE’S TAKEN ‘ALL OF ME’! Funny note! I love it! http://www.aprillaugh.wordpress.com
lol thanks for the hysterical post!
Hahaha! I LOVE Michael Buble! He’s been asking me to save the last dance for him for quite some time now. Oh Michael…what would we do without you?!
Congrats on Freshly Pressed. Hysterical. The images may haunt me for days!
I want to work where you work. It looks like fun. The only thing that would happen where I work is that I might get Viagra-ed.

Good one! Hey, which was your other post that got Freshly Pressed, so we can go and read that one too?
Thanks for the interest in reading my other stuff!
Here’s a link: http://stocktoc.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/the-wtf-bottle-iron-man-has-one-you-should-too/
Haha brilliant post! Congrats on being freshly pressed!
too funny I feel the exact same way! Congrats on Freshly Pressed!
Good stuff– the post AND Buble’s music.
John Mayer does the same thing to my Pandora.:)
JM is all over my Pandora channels too, but somehow he blends into the background more.
Totally made my day! Oh how I hoped to be attacked by someone just as beautiful =)
Nice Post, he indeed is a great singer. Congrats on being Freshly Bubléd, oops I mean Freshly Pressed. My Bad.
Blessings,
Ava
xox
HAha. Funniest pics ever.
Haha. I’d say a Bublee infestation is much nicer than a cricket one! Enjoy it while it lasts – you don’t know what will creep in next year! Liking the pictures.
I wish Buble would stalk me.
Thanks to my tween I have Justin Beiber creeping up on me. The lastest being a 6 foot standee. It creeps me out when I walk into a room and think someone is standing there and jump a mile and gasp. Then crack up when I see it’s only Justin.
So funny!
I was humming “Home” while reading your post. Talk to security about the restroom incident.
Congratulations on being FP!
Hahaha! No security issue; just a coworker friend pulling a prank.
Some friend, considering how close you are to the edge.
This is hilarious! I’ve also seen Buble a few places, (the radio and So You Think You Can Dance) and he’s already on my iPod!
His voice is very nice though
This is too funny!! Congratulations on being FP, and thanks for giving me a laugh!
Hahaha, that happened with me as well, just not with his picture posting up everywhere. I’m terrified. I’d rather listen to the original songs than him re-doing them, lol
Buble in the bathroom bubbling his blue away…. this has me flushed.
Love your post!
spread the humor:charlywalker.wordpress.com
oops meant “blues”..my fingers are dyslexic..
LOL! Great job!
Haha it sounds lke you have some really nice friends.
Nicely said ~ but don’t you think if he did ask you to save your last dance that you would? Same way that if Josh Turner asked me to go with him ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFz61X2PQTw ~ I don’t think I could refuse!
no surprise, I mean he is omnipresent LoL! :p. for me, it’s Lady Gaga. Eventually, i’ve gotten to a point where I can’t listen to much of her old stuff anymore.
Your blog is funny-good. And, congrats. on being wordpressed.

You poor thing. My ex-boss tried to “Buble” me. Fortunately, I was somehow able to put up a force shield that prevented this attack from permanently afflicting me.
Little doses. That’s all I can handle. I really liked him at first, but the Target commercials just pushed it too far and I ran the other way.
Wow, strange workplace you’ve got! For me, it was Rocket Summer. I kept hearing him regularly on my iPod since his song collection was the largest I had accumulated.
I love Buble!!!
Watched his concert here in Philippines, it was a memorable one since I watched it all by myself , and majority of his viewers were what? ? LOVERS of all ages ( old and young ones) but didn’t care at all coz Buble was so charming in his performances
Ha ha! You must admit it’s hard to stay away from him
I love this!…. But am sad. I read in one of the comments he’s now married?…sigh. Oh well, I’ll be off the market too shortly so we’ll both be heart broken together!
He does just ‘sneak’ in there. Well said
I tried to ignore him, but it was no use. I bought his Crazy Love for my wife – but it’s me who plays the CD. I deserve a bravery award for confessing such a thing. But that’s what it’s like when you been Buble’d: Rational thought flies out of the window.
WOW, very funny, I like it, thank you.
At the first sight, I thought it is about the son “Creeping up on you”
So, now you can’t even take a pee without being Bubled……how rude!!!
Love the post – congrats on FP
Tell me another. I’m forced to listed to MB cause my hubby likes him and all the music we listen to in the car while driving belong to my hubby. I can never remember to carry my cds or mp3s so tough luck….I keep listening to MB stuck at 20 something.
loved your post, and congrats on getting FP!!!
i like Buble enough to always sing along when he’s on the radio, but not enough to actually spend money on him… but i won’t switch radio stations when he’s on. he’s all smooth and sunny and offers 5 min of shiny melody that puts a smile on my face 
i really like your blog!
He is infectious!
haha…! He just recently got married and yet he is still trying to infestate your workplace!
He had taken over my local radio all of last week! Now they have a Gaga rage going on. I’ve popped in a CD now.
Hahaha! Hilarious…
lol…wow so many different places!! congrats on fp’ed
Nice post. Indeed buble has his way creeping into our ears. I never liked him until his music started creeping into my Yahoo Music list. Not bad.
What I love about Michael Buble is that kids who listen to grinding metal like his music too. I am glad to know as I age there is at least one smooth voice that will be there for me. Since he is younger than me, he should outlive me and I can look forward to Christmas specials with someone warm and handsome!
Funny post! I work in an office alone (well there are some guys in and out). No fun pranks for me!!! Congrats on Freshly Pressed!! have a good one!
Very smooth!:)
Shall I admit I’ve been to a Micky Bubble or hang my head in shame?
hahahaah hmm
I’ve been fighting the Buble fever. It used to make me feel old when I listened to it. So I tried to stop. Turns out nothing makes me happier than cooking with some Buble on in the background. Who cares if it sounds old lady-esque? It is fabulous and I’m happy I have in!
cute….I love Buble
This is absolutely brilliant!
I love Bulble too!
Really funny! *lol* I liked the way he seemed to pop up out of nowhere and straight into the women’s restroom!
Wow! Very funny. I like it so much! Hahaha.
I like Buble in small bits. Some of his songs are so cheerful, so inspiring that it reminds me of being in a manic state and we cannot stay there all of the time.
great blog……

Haha! I’m actually talking about Michael Buble for my English presentation, and I’m gonna sing one of his amazing songs, so I found it very interesting. Yea every once in a while I have to hear a Buble song cause it really soothes me
so I understand what your going through. The way you worded this is really funny too! Keep it up
