she heard me too..
on her way back she stopped and talked.. ..

"Is my supply order been ordered?"

"Who did you send the request to?"

"I just sent it to _____ "

"She was out on vacation"

"Oh"

"From now on please send any requests to: _____"

(this has been told to her about 19 times now)




"The printer isn't printing"

"Can we send something via FedEx after they have made their pickup?"


"We expecting 3 pallets of computer equipment today, can you store it somewhere?"

"Our training for next week has been cancelled, can you just keep all of the 25 manuals you printed somewhere?"



I could go on..

I am an elementary PE teacher and I was trying to tell the kids to get outside more and play less with their playstations and gameboys, but instead, I said.." you need to play less with your playboys"

Yes I did, I said playboys! But I recovered quickly, kept on talking and bless their little hearts I think they were too young to notice what I said!

I'm a Nursing Supervisor at a local blood bank.

We're required to explain every step of the donation process.

Right after I explained the procedure for drawing the blood into the bag, my female donor said in a very loud voice.....

"You're going to stick that in there and do what with it !!!???!!!"

My CEO was standing just outside the door and nearly fell over.

I will have to share that one at work on Monday!

Twice in the past week I've called a production supervisor named Lisa and said, "Hello Soraya, this is Lisa." instead of the other way around.

I only do it to her....no idea why.

Just keep singing, "I'm not Lisa, my name is Soraya."

I've written terribly embarrassing headlines at my first job as a copy editor at a major daily newspaper at the age of 23.

We had two afternoon editions, and someone in another bureau in another city used to catch my boo-boos in the paper and call the editor roaring with laughter, and we'd fix them for the City edition.

I later got to know and ended up marrying the reporter who caught my headlines!!! (Yes, he forgave me, or decided I was entertaining enough to keep around for the last 20 years or so. He still enjoys telling them, mostly to my older brothers.)

Here they are:
Man Shot in Back,
Left Arm Released
From Hospital
(Too bad the rest of him had to stay.)

60 Men, 20 Boys
To Perform Saturday
(I'm sorry but that was the name of the singing group!)

Expanding Birdbrains May Mean
Hope for Stroke Victims
(You had to read the story!)

I was getting my daughter ready for play rehearsal and trying to find her shiny, black, Mary Jane shoes; her "show shoes." She was battling me tooth and nail to wear her bright green Crocs, and I said, "Murderers don't wear Crocs."

I did a bond on a kid last night....he'd been arrested for exhibition of speed and a traffic warrant....when he finally came out he was wearing a t-shirt that said, "Looking for a meaningful one night relationship". He looked at me and said, "This is soooooo not the shirt to wear in jail."

Several years ago, I was taking a class to be an Emergency Medical Technician(EMT). We were paired in two's practicing for the clinical tests. One person was the "patient" so the other could practice. I was supposed to have fallen and injured a hip; and was lying on the floor. My partner was running thru the procedures; when he got to a procedure called "the pelvic rock". It is designed to check to see if a person's hip is broken. He said, "Now I would do a pelvic thrust ." and turned red. I sat up and said, "No you won't!". His wife reached over and smacked him on the shoulder!!!!!

Then we laughed ourselves silly.

silly Mal, how can you be sure?

Once at work, asking the person on the phone to please hold for me. It comes out, "Can you please hold me?"
