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

OMG! And this reminds me... One time at a Mexican restaurant with a friend, my dd and her ds were eating the chicken tenders, her ds (8 at the time), enthusiastically comments "I LOVE Mexican food!"

Um, you're eating chicken tenders.

Oh goodness - my kids do the same thing! We like to order Chinese food once in a while, and the kids always get sweet-and-sour chicken. They only eat the chicken, don't even use the sauce. But they tell everyone how much they love Chinese food!

EG, you are truly a saint for putting up with that nutcase!!

How wrong is it that I get so excited when I see a new post from you! It feels like Christmas waiting for the screen to load!

I agree with the Christmas comment! I get so excited when this thread carries on.

I needed to share an email I got from an end user today. I'm the IT Manager and made the mistake of answering the help desk line when this lady called. A while after we hung up, she sent me this email:

"My tower went down four more times since I spoke to you. This time it didn't come back up. I had to shut it off and restart. Also, when it goes down the tower beeps....sounds like a truck backing up. If you want the sound effects, you'll have to call me and I'll demonstrate."

All I could think of is Little Miss Moo Psst! My staff thoroughly enjoyed when I forwarded the email to them. No one had time to call her for the demonstration, however since we're in the middle of a system conversion. We'll call her on Monday... on speaker phone... to find out what a truck sounds like when it's backing up.

Sweet chocolate with enchilladas!?! Blech!

Ooh, I forgot to ask... did she call it "mole" sauce (like the animal) or "molay" sauce, like it's supposed to be?

Tell her to unplug her UPS from the power strip and stop hitting the power strip's switch with her foot when she stretches!

I had a co worker who called a restaurant to find out what the soup du jour of the day was..

A friend was watching (Twin Peaks) a guy with a Civil War scene set out on his table with little army men all depicting the Civil War...the scene then flashed to a live reenactment of the Civil War, and she said, "Wow actual Civil War footage!"

Another time she was comparing the reddish color of Mindy the dacshund to her owner, Nancy's hair color. She said, "Mindy's fur is the same color as Nancy's!"

We called them Lynnieisms...

I really miss those silly people..

Oh yeah, I almost forgot this one..it's priceless. The first one above, my former coworker...very, very, Southern...and not really very bright. She spoke with someone on the phone, hung up, and said to us..."That was the beauty salon calling about my Dad. His hair-don't-come-out-no-more-stuff-has-come-in." HUH??? I said, wait a minute, I need to write that down. and I did. and I actually figured out what it meant. Her father was going bald. The salon ordered a topical solution (maybe Rogain type) to use to prevent further hair loss...it has arrived at the store. His hair-don't come-out-no-more-stuff-has-come-in...Makes perfect sense.

Thanks so much. Now my screen has root beer all over it!

She ordered by number. I still had my menu open so I knew what she ordered.

I am so glad you explained this.

This is just the best thread in the whole world.

EG, do you and your other coworkers discuss Miss Information?

 

[DisGirlAllie]

OMG. You are a saint EG!

 

[Jpgirl]

Evil Genius-I miss seeing you and your dh pic too-but understand the need for moving forward God Bless You!
Now about Mexican food-send her here I take her to my favorite place and she won't make it through the chips and salsa!! I LOVE LOVE Mexican food and if it's not mole sauce covered something it's tomatilla sauce covered something!! You made me hungry... thinking Mexican for lunch tomorrow or Sun.!!

OOoh I was wondering that too!

A group of us went to lunch yesterday at the local Mexican restaurant. Miss Info orders enchiladas with mole sauce (Just FYI mole sauce has chocolate in it, but it is in no way sweet) I find this a strange choice for her, as she does not like spicy or strange foods. So lunch comes and you can tell by the look on her face when she sees her plate she is not happy. She takes one bite AND SPITS IT BACK OUT ON HER PLATE!! It seems that she was thinking that she was going to get chicken enchiladas with a sweet chocolate dipping sauce. (Which to me sounds disgusting but what do I know) She changed her lunch, and the restaurant did not charge her for two meals.

Some of the conversation included;

One of the ladies was telling us about a new Japanese restaurant she went to. Miss Info butts in and says that she hates Japanese food because it's all really, really spicy. We continue to keep talking and she finally looks at the woman and tells her she need to stop talking about Japanese food, as it is making her sick.

One of the ladies just returned from Arizona. Miss Info informs us that there is nothing there but hospitals and gas stations. I looked at her and asked, what states do you really like? Where do really travel to? Blank stare.

I guess I better tell my in-laws, they live in Arizona and weren't aware that there are only hospitals and gas stations. I do know there is a Home Depot, because my FIL works at one part time. I guess that wasn't an airport my DH's plane landed at on his return from California. They live in Surprise, AZ, maybe that is the Surprise .

All I can say is EWWWW! Chocolate sauce to dip your chicken enchilada in? That's just nasty. Miss Info is just not right in the head.

OMG! One of my Sr. Techs called her yesterday and asked her to describe the beeping on speaker phone. It was all any of us could do to keep from bursting out loud! Yep, her beeping sounded like a truck backing up! This will be our good IT story for a while!

We told her to send her PC back to us. We already replaced the power supply once. We believe that she's kicking the surge protector and that's the real reason her PC is going down. It doesn't go off here when we let it run... only when it's near her.

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

DH has supplied me with a new story that fits well here...

He's in an IT project management contracting position right now where he's basically functioning as the assistant manager for the department. One of his "roles" has been to listen to his boss rant and rave about why she's going to quit and how horrible her job is, and so he usually ends up having lunch with her a couple times a week. At one of those 'meetings', Dh was eating leftover Indian food he'd made for our dinner the night before.

DH's boss asked him how my pregnancy was going, and how I was feeling, and they got to talking about that. At some point, DH mentioned that one of the things we've been really greatful for was that I haven't had to cut out any foods, but I've been able to keep eating all the spicy ethnic foods I love, and DH has been able to continue to try cooking new ethnic recipes (like the Indian leftovers he was eating at the time).

His boss FREAKED!!! She informed him that pregnant women should NEVER eat spicy food because it is deadly! She told him he was literally killing both the baby and me by cooking spicy food for me!

Dh tried to reason with her, telling her that my dr. (who happens to be Indian) approved of it, and that there are millions of women all over the world who eat spicy food all the time and have perfectly healthy babies, and as long as I didn't have indigestion or heartburn there was no reason to stop....(Dh loves logic)...

...but she doesn't buy it. She is convinced that we will lose this baby and I will suffer horrible complications because I eat spicy food while I'm pregnant! Apparently she now feels it necessary to bring this up every time she talks to Dh. I told him he better be careful or she's going to think he's trying to murder me!

Even better...she has never been pregnant herself, but she insists that she's read this somewhere and she knows it must be true.

That is the funniest thing I have ever read. Can he ask her to explain how all 3 of my kids survived then since I ate spicy foods while pregnant with them. Even would eat whole jars of pepperocinis (sp) while pregnant with DD.
