It's no joke that I've had a lot of jobs... I've worked on a chicken farm, called people for surveys, planned parties at a bowling alley, managed books & the website for an adult entertainer, worked in fast-food, and have been a nanny. Most of those are years in my past at this point though, as the last few years I've found myself behind a desk, surrounded by cubicle walls, and working with computers.
Working for a major support organization can be daunting sometimes; luckily most of the places I've worked for have been a pretty casual environment and have had good communication technology in place. That makes life so much easier! We recently even implemented a plan in case the power goes out, that involves my nifty neat little laptop (shown below). It's almost overwhelming having all this technology in front of you all day.
However I have to say that working in an office environment really makes for some hilarious situations though, and often times I have to share them just because of how funny they are. Today I had this conversation with one of my male coworkers:
Coworker: Our [white-label] customers always are like "Hey thanks for the key, I'm going to watch Pretty Little Liars now!"
Me: All of our [white-label] customers watch Pretty Little Liars?
Coworker: Yeah, I have [white-label] and I watch Pretty Little Liars.
Me: YOU watch Pretty Little Lairs? That's like a teenage girl show!
Coworker: Yes! Ask me ANYTHING about A! I know who it is!
Me: Who is it?
Coworker: I'm not telling. But it's NOT Mona!
Me: Okay then, who's the girl in the red coat?
Coworker: Um... I think it's Hannah.
Me: Whoa... You really do watch that show.
Coworker: Yeah, my wife makes me watch it before I can play PlayStation....
Then he answered the phone, and I said to other coworkers listening "The sad part is, I was able to engage him in that conversation."
I should also state that this is the same coworker who I heard yell "Shut your prostate!" today, and who two days ago had a conversation about how Dolphins commit suicide, and how he wishes he could keep a little Dolphin in his pocket and carry it around with him.
Never a dull moment around here.

hahah that coworker is hilarious! We have some good laughs here every once in a while, but yours is a lot funnier :)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I have never seen the show though. I do agree with the co-worker about the Dolphin.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that is so funny!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! I think no matter where you work, you're always going to have some crazy coworkers. I definitely have some!

hahaha! So funny!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is funny! I've got to watch that show, my mom is always talking to me about it and who she suspects "A" is, without any regard that I haven't seen the show. But that's a mom for ya! I also like that your co-worker wants to, "put a dolphin in his pocket." I do too!
ReplyDeleteCheers Miss Angie!

That conversation is too funny! I will admit I watch that show :D
ReplyDeleteNone of my co-workers watch the good shows, so I find myself talking about them to people who haven't got a clue what the hell I'm talking about. And yet, I talk about them anyway. I think I might be the office weirdo.
