Re: Anyone have any interesting/funny stories? Anything?

  • My boss gave me the afternoon off after one hell of a week, so I grabbed some lunch and then went to a Starbucks for coffee, goodies and laptop languishing.  I opted for a seat in a peaceful corner, where a guy happened to also be sitting across from the seat with his "mobile office." 

    I took great delight in setting my cup down on his half-table-half-desk, sitting down and settling in with my laptop.  He was making business calls and trying to sound all important and private - it felt like he was trying to illicit a response from me in the form of moving to another location.  Which I did not - I just tuned him out and maintained my position.

    Poor guy... as the post lunch crowd filled in, he had to talk louder and louder on his calls.  Sucks to have a free office.

  • Yeah, not here. Making salt dough Easter stuff with DD and DH while we watch American Idol.

    Couldn't be more boring if we tried.

  • The things that amuse me these days are usually in the form of something a student said or did... Grading poetry books and one of the students put the following haiku in their book, and it just makes me chuckle:

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense

  • Well I am glad it wasn't just me who thought it was funny!  Sometimes I worry about my sense of humor since I spend my days with 10 year olds.

    I thought I had heard that somewhere.  :(

  • Did they have to write their own, or could it be anything? That particular haiku has been floating around the internet for a while. It even made it's way to facebook.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

     Yeah, I knew the poem was something that he probably came across when he Googled, "haiku", but amusing nonetheless

    It was suppose to be a section in their book for poems by other authors.

    Oh good!  I think it's a great Haiku!  

  • I'm watching Four Weddings on TLC even though it bugs the crap out of me.

    I'm also sitting on the very edge of my couch so that my 90lb dog can stretch out and be comfortable.  It's a good think he is cute.  

    It was nuts when I was driving into the 'hood tonight.  I couldn't believe how many people were walking/driving in.

     

  • Just saw this posted on my FB birth month group and I thought you ladies might like it.

  • This isn't funny, but it's interesting, I guess. 

    I applied for a PT job at a local library. 15 hours a week, on weekends and late afternoons/evenings; I thought it'd be a fun way to get out of the house and make some money. Last week I had to take a writing test as part of the process. 

    The HR lady who administered the test said they got 381 applications for two positions. About 200 made it through the first round and were taking the writing test. For those who make it through that, they start doing phone interviews. 

    I haven't applied for a job since the economy went kablooie b/c I've been a SAHM, so it was my first first-hand experience of how bad it is and how many people are competing for jobs -- even PT jobs. Granted, a lot of them were kids from Front Range College trying to work at the library there, but it was pretty sobering.
