We had a receptionist who fell in love with her laminator machine. Everything we had just hanging was therefore laminated.
I fell in love with my rubber band ball - and then I got down to where it falls apart.
It just disassembled itself with one pull of the wrong rubber band. There should be a warning: do not use this one.
I was devastated. The receptionist ordered me 5 so I don't ever have to go through that again.

One of the idiot detectives I used to work with brought his industrial strength label maker from home one day for some reason and another guy got ahold of it. It would make labels at the speed of light so you could just crank them out. It also made them large enough to see as you were walking down the cubicle aisles. Everyone got a label for their cubicles, jackets, chairs, computer monitors.....I had some several labels all over my office area making wrongly contrived statements about my mother, my dog, my mother and my dog, the guy in the next cubicle professing his undying love for me.....it was quite a mature display of the proper use of a label maker....:)
:rofl: I like those guys!

I have a lunch spy. Whenever we're in the teacher's room at the same time, she closely inspects my lunch and comments. It's a little weird.
Interesting - watch her, lest she try to help herself.

I have a lunch spy. Whenever we're in the teacher's room at the same time, she closely inspects my lunch and comments. It's a little weird.

I put my lunch trash into the fridge at work yesterday. I was busted before for throwing my trash into trashcan kitchen too late. (It was 10 minutes after the crazy bell rings) It was emptied already. No No! It will stay there all nite. wot? k sorries. I just finished. Did not know the trash empty schedule.

So paranoid. Today I walk by her, actually hiding something that I wanted to throw away. I put it in fridge because I was late for trash emptying. Now I have trash in fridge. Must remember.

Remember the old knuckle buster label makers? Your hand ached after making a label from squeezing the crap out of the thing. And you had to make every label three times because there was always one letter you didn't squeeze hard enough to get a good impression. Then after a day the label started to curl, and after two it fell off completely. And spinning that damn wheel and getting the letters to line up perfectly! Oh, those were the days.

Took out yesterdays. Corn beef special is in there. And and a Noosa blueberry yogurt. I don't think she can trace it. I know it's mine. It's expired. Scared to throw away.
I confess I look forward to hearing about the clipboard lady, now. These work stories are priceless. I hope you don't sue me if they are "accidentally" pilfered for enhancing my own short story writing. ;)

Uhhh just a small expression to myself

I'm starting to realize that i'm expert at that kind of emotion called "doing a fake smile". And i Do not have real friends aside that my best friend is only myself and my alter ego. Selfish? Nah, i'm just getting used to be ignored by everyone to the fact i knew who are those who will approach me if they need my help and will forget me if they're done to get what they need from me
