Who knew such a mundane happening could become such an entertaining story? Congrats on POTD. BJ

I love hese stories of life in the real world, plus you are very funny.
I might try to write something about my day [they all the same] then you would understand why I only seem to write about my past. Still, having such uneventful days gives me bags of time to read so many posts.
Congrats for POTD…well deserved.

And to think I was worried that your funny work stories would stop now that you aren’t teaching any more!

Rye sounds like a real keeper! We had one like him a while back- he could be a bit over the top, especially on the radio, but he sure was a lot of fun to work with. Sadly, he passed away a couple of months ago.

Mar — Rye whiskey?

Melli — well, OC might grouse a bit if I actually decided to keep Rye … so might Rye come to think of it.

Cath — now I can’t help but smile whenever I see him.

Carletta — it gets better. Just wait.

Juliana — the machine was mean today, too!

David — I’ll check it out. I do love a good prank.

IG — uhm, I sort of fed the copy machine a paper clip.

Dr. John — if that machine continues to act up, I just may well quit my job!

Shelly — it was fun.

Amber — does it do dishes? If it does dishes, I want one.

That is hilarious and he can stay for sure! I love him from afar already.

When we bought the new printer/fax/copy/you name it machine I was very wary since OC had said the one ya’ll bought was sort of hinkey when it came to actually printing anything from your laptop or as I remember it printing much of anything the way you wanted it to. We got so caught up in the whole deal that we didn’t realize we had bought one that wasn’t wireless, but it had so many other cool buttons and whiz bang stuff on it that we kept it. We wondered why it was some cheaper, but the kid who sold it to us was wheeling and dealing that day on everything.

I almost had a moment while reading your post about missing my old job…but I recovered almost instantly after looking at the clock and knowing I don’t have to get up early tomorrow or any day I don’t choose to get up early. Yes, that is a factor for this nocturnal gal.

I’ll probably have a number of rabbit trails coming up..esp after we take my mil and fil with us on a 6 hour drive to Galveston. Oh my.

Oh, I love that moment at a new job where you click with a co-worker…I kinda miss that.

Now the real Quilly is back. This was funny and had a great ending. I think we need a machine to act up more often.

Ha! Yeah, let him stay. But considering you probably didn’t cause the malfunction, I hope the copier sent him a note later that apologized for blaming you.

I’ll have to give him the Advanced Office Pranks course…..

Um, you might want to read an old post of mine called “Name, Prank and Serial Memory” (I think that’s what it was called, Quilly!!)
