My boss knows how much I love ducks (actually, everyone knows). When I told her I got new ducklings and showed her their picture, she thought they were "soooo cuuuuute", so I (manipulatively) told her, "Yeah, [other employee's name] keeps asking me if I'm going to bring them in...." and POOF! I was given permission haha. I love duck days at work.
I was talking to my coworker when my ducks were older and he asked me if I could stay at work late- I told him I can but I have to be home before sunset and he said, “Are you going to turn into a pumpkin?!” It was so funny! I explained that I had to put my ducks asleep. Now, my husband usually puts the ducks to bed, but I always text him as a reminder and ask “Are the ducks pumpkins?”.
I’m pretty much the duck lady at work, customers and coworkers always ask for pictures and videos and how they’re doing!
