Grad student #1: Wow, the boss-lady is pretty laid back today. She hasn’t even harassed me once since I came in this morning!
Grad student #2: I dunno, dude. When she’s this chilled out, I just assume that somewhere there are dozens of puppies that have been kicked.
Me: “Hello, Mrs. ***, how can I help you?”
Customer: “I’m very upset because you have my dog’s name before my last name here on this check-in sheet!”
Me: “Well, hat’s because we print out the pet’s first name and your last name so we know who the pet belongs to.”
Customer: “But this is horrible! It is though you are saying I am married to my dog! I’m not into bestiality!”
Me: “No, it is more that we are trying to say that you are like the pet’s parent.”
Customer: “You are saying that I gave birth to a dog?!”
Me:” No…I’m really sorry, but the computer prints out the pet’s first and the owner’s last name. It is part of the system and I cannot change it.”
Customer: “It’s the computer’s fault?”
Me: “Yes. I am so sorry, but I cannot change the program. It does this for every pet.”
Customer: “Then black out the name on the paper so nobody thinks I am married to him!”
The economy is in the tank and it is affecting everyone. We got hit and as a result cuts had to be made. This is very understandable. People were laid off; people had their hours and pay reduced. It sucks but that is life, but the week after I had my hours cut they turn around and purchase another company. They are also looking at more acquisitions 4 months after the first cuts and before sales bottoming out and after the 3 round of layoffs.
Female coworker #1: You need more man-attention than I do, even!
Female coworker #2: Well, you know Paul is coming over this weekend.
Female coworker #1: Who’s that?
Female coworker #3: Her booty call.
Female coworker #2: Yeah, he’s cool, you should totally call him.
Female coworker #1: Ew! I am not calling your booty call.
