Overheard at work
These are a few things that I've written down on slips of paper and stuck in my briefcase for months.
Sometime in October or Nov of 2004:
Glenn: Is this the longest cord we have?
Chad: The last I knew, me & Joe had the longest ones.
Beverly-isms:
Beverly is a chunky woman in her 30s. She has shoulder-length blond hair which she often wears in little-girl styles like tying up some on the top of her head with a bow. I try very hard not to dislike her too much.
Bev: Kim, what did you say your beau's name is?
Kim: I told you, I *wasn't* going to tell you his name.
Bev: Well, we'll just call him Earl. Where did you say you & Earl were moving?
Ranting about Walmart :
"If they're going to do that much remodeling, then they need to shut the store or build a new one."
Continually, when reading her email, if it's from someone she doesn't know, she'll say rather loudly: "Who is _________?" (said with a sneering intonation, as if she just stepped in something nasty.)
Her son was watching something on the Discovery channel.
"The only theory he'd heard was that God created everything. 'I thought God created everything.'
'Well, Honey, there are several different theories. This is a scentific theory.'"
"In my checkbook, if the amount is six six six, I usually add a penny."
I wonder if she voids all the checks with the sequence 666 in them.
From the CorporateSpeak lexicon:
Associates are the CRO's of the Lending Services Center.
(Chief Relationship Officer)
[If I am a chief officer, I want the commensurate pay!]
