Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Conversational Gems...

Here are two excerpts from conversations I've had recently at work:

"I constantly get emails at work from the powers that be high up in my office, they tell me do misc things like "go to this link and fill out this test-NOW"...I received one of these the other day and so I try to do it... and when it won't let me log in, saying that my user name does not exist, this is what happened:
So I submit a work order.
A person calls me regarding my work order.
They say, well go to that link and put in your username...
I go to the link and of course, they deny me access...again.
They finally break down, open up the link, and try. They get denied.
Their response: Why don't you just click the live help feature at the bottom of the log in page. "See where that takes you."

I thought you were the live help!

Another gem:

" As I try to walk into the ladies room at the office before heading home for the day, I'm confused when the door won't open...I see the "occupied" sign up and go to see which of the other two ladies it might be in my office. Shockingly it is neither of them... A conversation with the HR person ensues:

Me: Hey, the ladies room won't open...any idea what's going on?

HR Rep: Oh no one told you? The ladies room doubles as a men's room. You should always lock the door when you use it.

Me: No, no one told me that, I've never locked the door! What the heck?!?!

HR: Oh, well good thing no one has walked in on you then!


Indeed!
