Office Work.......

[michelle1017]

Our dingy secretary in the front office has buzzed me 5 times in the 3 hours I have been here. Three times thinking I am keeping track of where all my co-workers are hiding from her this morning, once to show me the jewelry a foreign girl was trying to peddle off to a sucker to pay for a missionary trip and once to tell me a storm is blowing in (because I may not see it through the big picture window I am looking out).

She had such a good day on Friday that I took one for the team and went shopping with her after work. I am paying for it dearly today.

Believe me, it has crossed my mind. Maybe this afternoon after the boss leaves early...

But won't she just tattle on you?

Not if she smacks her hard enough.

He has worked with her much longer than I have and I guarantee you, it has crossed his mind more times than it has crossed mine.

More than likely, this is what will happen if it continues into the afternoon. If it were something like a client calling or a visitor here, I would understand. But, really? I have no idea and don't care where Mark, Carol or Dave are this morning nor do I want to buy any jewelry!

Sounds like there is a letter in there somewhere!

I have this problem with cookie dough. That is what the schools here sell when they run low on funds and shlep out their kids to guilt people into contributing. Cookie dough. And they charge a bajillion dollars for it.

Except at christmas, when they sell "living Christmas trees!"

Last year, all of mahogany row bought one, but NONE of them wanted a REAL tree. I ended up carting home a bunch of mini-pines, already decorated. The one that survived is now planted in the chicken run.

wouldn't it just be easier to have yourself a "Boyd" day?

Next time she calls you over the intercom respond as I would to the silly inane stuff I get from some of my kids....

Is this job related? Why do I care where mark or carol or dave are at this moment? I have people that work for me that care about that kind of stuff don't I? When I sat behind my desk today, I wasn't intending to buy any Jewelry today, so please forgive me if I gave you the wrong vibe. I shall have to practice hiding my wanting to buy junk jewelry vibe better, because I have a lot on my plate today and don't have the time to waste when my boss wants to know why I am baby sitting everyone else for you. Oh yeah, and unless the weather is affecting production or causing a work stoppage, why do I need to know if its windy, rainy, hailing or cloudy with a chance of meatballs...

Or maybe she's just bored and wants someone to talk to.

Hey, you weren't snarky - I just couldn't decide how to respond to it. You snarky? Only on purpose. And you do do it well when you put your mind to it.

I'm not particularly creative today. Tryin'...

Boyd- In my own research, I have found MI has a really high # of availble kids. Not that it MEANS much, other than MI may advertize better than other states.

Occasionally I peruse around
