We have a guy at work name Michael. He is mentally challenged and does our faxing, filing, etc. He has been with us for 20 plus yrs. He is in his mid 50's but more like a big kid with a good heart. He can tell you anything you want to know about birds and sports. anyways yesterday morning....


He tells pauline, the lady that he's under that he has a dr. appt next tues. with the gynecologist (sp?).

Pauline, she's in her mid 50's also, tells him nooo, I don't think it's with the gynecologist.
Michael says yes it's the same dr. my dad use to go to.
Pauline says no michael I don't think so.
Michael says, yes my mudder said it's the gynecologist
Pauline says, michael are you sure it's not the gastrologist
Michael says oh yes that's the dr.
Pauline says, uh michael do you know what a gynecologist is? Michael says, no.
Pauline says, well uh michael a gyno. is the dr. that checks uh well the private parts, uh you know down there on girls and women.
Michael says, oh boy!!
 
I have been working with the developmentally disabled for 18 years. I love my job. There are no boring days.

I praise your company for giving Michael the opportunity to be respected and make him feel that he matters in our society.
 
Travelbug - I agree about the no boring days. Michael makes his rounds every morning and let's us know how pretty we look and always tells me to tell my kids that he says hi. I can never remember when to put my hummingbird feeders out or when to put them up but I can always go to Michael for the answer. He is so full of life.
 

Your story sounds just like LA Law. :D
 
LOL. He sounds like a hilarious fellow. :)
 
I have volunteered with the Special Olympics for year now and the kids never cease to amaze me. They are so loving and just so special! I could go on and on....I also praise your business for supporting Michael! Thats one of the nicest gifts to give a special person the feeling that they belong and are needed.:)
