My co-worker is a fountain of misinformation!! 5/14 the day has come page 130

I've got a story. Similar, but different.

I was in the hospital a month ago for surgery. My roommate had both of her knees replaced, so I blame the drugs for this. When she arrived, I introduced myself as Wendy. She said, "nice to meet you, Cindy." That happens, I know, but I corrected her 3-4 times and she still kept calling me Cindy. So, it got to the point where she'd say, "Cindy." I'd reply, "yes?"

BTW, the rest of her family called me by my real name.

Thank you for the info though. My mother has always wanted to go during Mardri Gras, and I thought she was nuts. When I think Mardi Gras, I picture what you see on episodes of "Cops". So you made me remember there is more to it. Thank you.

I have to admit that last year was my first trip to Mardi Gras in DECADES. I couldn't think why I would want to go be with a bunch of drunk 18 year olds. I had such a good time on St. Charles. I didn't get to go this year because I had bronchitis. Let me know if your mother wants to go and I might be able to give her some information.

Now back to the subject:
I worked with a very sweet dear person that I really like, but boy could she come up with some doozies. She was very much into new age alternative stuff. She had a doctor in L.A. who she would call when she was sick. She would put the phone on various parts of her body and he would diagnose her.

Her "cures" were even more interesting. For one of them she requested my assistance. She did a bunch of mumbo jumbo with a crystal and at a certain time in the "procedure" I had to tap her on the back three times. Yes I really did that.

Today's goodie...


One of the ladies here does a monthly calendar and besides the usual birthdays, anniversaries and vacations, she like to add little fun facts for the days. So for today it says "Swallows return to Capistrano" I don't think anything of it and then I hear

MI "That makes no sense."

Me "What doesn't?"

MI "The calendar. What are they swallowing in Capistrano today? And why do we need to know about it?"



So I google swallows return to Capistrano, print it out and lay it on her desk.

MI "Now why the h*** do I care about some stupid birds?"


So there's my morning story

I burst out laughing at this. Luckily, most of my staff are out today, so I only got one funny look.

Thanks for the update!

I had a sweet, but clueless friend who kept sighing loudly one day while we were riding in a convertible. I finally said "what's wrong" and she said "I just really wish we were going in the other direction so the wind wouldn't be blowing my hair."

Every person in a convertible would be driving in the same direction to avoid the wind!

Thanks Claire, for the latest installment. I'm so glad you started this thread. Its great to save in my workday when I hit that lull in my day!

Can we get a sticky at the top of the Community board that only Evil Genius can reply to so we don't miss all of these PLEASE!!!! These make my day. Keep them coming. You REALLY need to compile these and write a book.

 

[Jennifer48]

Just checking in. New workday and I'm sick of it already I need a good chuckle from Miss Information!

 

[harleyquinn]

Me too! I want more!

I've never met anyone like this. It seems everyone else has!

I have a coworker who will not shut up about the most boring aspects of her life, but she doesn't have anyone else to take to, so it's sad.

Okay that was a downer! I need funny stuff!

Really enjoying your thread!
