1. leaving our apartment complex this morning, the car in front of me stopped in the outgoing drive to....pick a flower from the side of the road!!!!! resulting in holding up the other cars behind her.

2. At the stoplight right before the freeway, the woman in front of ( Read more... )

Today is Administrative Professionals Day, and the CEO, COO, and Exec Admintrative Assistant got me a cookie bouquet!

There are some people sitting in my lobby right now have a conversation about how they oppose Obama's tax and healthcare reforms. Of course they are rich insurance underwriters who would loose money on the deal...

Seriously, what is with the callers at work today? I have had the dumbest/strangest/oddest calls today.

Call 1: "What's 'Member Services'?'

 Call 2: (very first thing said to me after answering the call) "My account number is...."
