wierd things that happen at work

OMG, I just had a Leprechaun come in my office and give me candy!

We had a cat loose in the warehouse once. we could heart mewling sometimes, but couldnt' find it, and were very worried it would starve/stink.

turns out it was a warehouse guys cell phone. Why he has a ringtone of a mewling cat, I am too scared still to ask.

I had a six foot rabbit hand me an avocado at my desk once. I was a day that I remembered to take my anti-seizure meds too, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't an "Alice in Wonderland" moment...

Well... pretty sure anyway.

Just yesterday the DHL (like UPS or Fedex) guy walks up to me and asks to go through my trash. Which caught me as kinda odd because he's never done it before (and didn't even offer to buy me dinner or a movie). Turns out he didn't scan in a particular package, needed the barcode sent to the mothership, ect...

Anyways, so I e-mailed the mostly humorless receptionist, just trying to joke around with her and put her in a good (read:less sadistic) mood... My e-mail said, "Ok, I haven't been drinking down here but I swear the DHL guy just came and dug through our trash, things really can't be that bad for him can they?". She replies back "Oh no, he forgot to scan a package he dropped off", ect... So I e-mail her back finally and explain I was just joking, to which she replies "Oh, well if you see the easter bunny going through your trash let me know".

So, I have tomorrow off... I'm thinking of seeing if I can find a place which will let me rent an easter-bunny costume for an hour or two, so I can run in, dig through her trash, and run back out.

Let me just say that April Fool's day is a really bad day to work in a teaching hospital on the night shift. One year, the labor and delivery staff set up a practical joke on the NICU staff that still lives in infamy. They got several of us to go completely ballistic about this "case" we would have to attend the delivery of (it was absolute worst case scenario for a delivery) and when we finally went over to the labor room to meet the "mother", there was a giant stuffed bunny sitting in the bed. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry with relief!

And what did you give him in return, little girl?

The weirdest thing that happens here is that there is no funny or weird. IT ISN'T ALLOWED!

Now, get back to f'n work

A thank you and a giggle! What else would I give him???

One of the radio stations in Seattle had a good one for April Fool's Day a couple years back. (Listen up Taco) They played a mewing cat throughout the morning show, over commercials and everything. Some lady called them up saying her daughter just got fired from work because of them. She had thought that there was a cat trapped in her car, so was looking for it, and was late to work. So they call this daughter lady up, and she confirms she was fired, the dj says he's gonna call and talk to her boss, etc... So he calls and talks to the boss, the boss says yes, I fired her, can't have people thinking they can be late, so I made an example out of her. The boss now sounds like a complete ass. The dj continues talking to him... finally calls the woman back and she says April Fools... The boss, and the mom were in on it the whole time, pulled a good one over on that dj!

My boss at my previous job lost my phone number. Life is good.

this is definitly smelling like you want to get in her pants


good luck though

wierd things that happened here ? omg I can't count ... working in an hotel helps I must say

let's try to find some :

a couple drefused a double room with shower to get a single room with bath ... saying the receptionist that they didn't care for the size of the bed as they would only use the bath (wich they did ... a whole night, the bed remained untouched )

a guest had delivered to his room about 20 cheeses and about 15 20 ready-made food that he brought back to spain.

a woman asked the room service for a big cucumber and 2 big oranges ... unpeeled

I could go on like that for hours lol but I'll save some for later

There are people with ringtones that yell "FIRE!"
I can just see that liability if it started ringing in a crowded theater.

Freedom of speach I guess some claim but, eh, not if people get crushed to death.
The cat ringtone just reminded me of that. heh

Speaking of crush. I used to work at UPS actually. And one of the strangest days I had there was nearly getting crushed between a feeder backing into the dock. That part wasn't really strange, but the rest of the day sure was because of it.
I'd say most of the packages on that truck had a similar problem.

Ok, so yesterday was just a wierd day at work... also had a patient referred (so to speak) by Bob Marley.... cause...

In July 1977, Marley was found to have a wound on his right big toe, which he thought was from a football (soccer) injury. The wound would not completely heal, and his toenail later fell off during a football game. It was then that the correct diagnosis was made. Marley actually had a form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, which grew under his toenail.

I work in medical insurance doing data entry, and yesterday I got someone being sent to the gynecologist for acne, and I swear they make up medical conditions, cause I got one the other day that even google had no clue what it was.

That's gotta be some case of acne....

I just don't even want to think about that, I showed my supervisor, and she shook her head and said "Now I've seen everything" and walked away

Not so strange really - my guess is that her doctor probably suspected Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which can only be diagnosed by an ob/gyn and one of the most telling symptoms is acne.

The good thing is that doctors are better informed today about things like this and know when they should send someone to a specialist.

Someone "Shushed" me!

OMG how RUDE!!!

Do you work in a library?

Sorry - but I'm giggling because I have this mental picture of you bouncing up and down in this conservative university library with this really prissy old guy running behind you shushing you! LOL


.

I think complimenting someone on their hard work might qualify as something 'weird'.

I KNOW! GGRRRRRRRR!!!!



Hahahah, now I'm picturing that too. No, I work in an open office environment where normal people go into mini conference rooms to conduct conference calls while minimizing noise. BLARG!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUSH!!!
