This morning started off kilter when I walked into the bathroom at work and saw…a man? Filling a cup in the sink?
Wha?
Did I go into the wrong…no…no urinals, big WOMEN sign on door…
Is that a guy? Maybe it’s a manly chick? Button down blue shirt, dockers, walkie talkie maintanence gear, short spikey hair…sounds like a dude…
Oh shit, I should close my surprised, gaping mouth and stop staring! The he/she gave me a nod and calmly walked out of the bathroom.
I have no idea if it was a guy.
Adding to the feeling of complete bewilderment was an interesting product I saw as I was looking for staplers in the office supply catalog.
side rant: do we NEED 10 pages of stapler selections??? do we NEED an “antimicrobial” stapler option??? THERE ARE TOO MANY CHOICES, ALL I WANT IS A FUCKING NORMAL STAPLER THAT WORKS!!!
I turned a page, and there it was.
In the catalog we had, it was tilted more so that you saw the front straight on. I started cracking up immediately. My office mate looked up and asked what was so funny. I passed her the catalog, still laughing. SHE started cracking up. We both saw the same thing.
Does swingline make pregnancy tests now???
No, it’s a stapler remover. But STILL, omg! Do I pee on this thing or what???
hahahah! I have that staple remover! hahaha!
Hee! That’s hilarious!
And no, I wouldn’t pee on the staple remover, personally. Totally agree on the ridiculous number of options in most sections of an office supply catalog, too.
I LOVE that staple remover! I have had one for years. MUCH better than the damn pinch ones. DON’T pee on it….it won’t give you any more info…it will still just be a staple remover and you’ll just have to throw it away and buy another one…LOL.
If you’re ordering a stapler, get the Paper Pro. It rocks and makes all other staplers embarrassed to be in the same class of office supplies.
Damn…that’s just too geeky for words. Glad you’re enjoying the new job and you like your office-mate.
Hahaha!!! Well, pee on it and see what happens. Let us know the outcome.
There is a person at my work who works in maintenance who is totally androgynous and I have yet to figure out if this person is a he or a she, but I haven’t seen him? Her? in the bathroom as of yet.
Well they are SUPER DUPER anal retentive about office supply ordering, and things like staplers are supposed to be stocked in the supply room, but ours had just been cleaned out by vultures. So we were told to check the upstairs floor, and lo and behold, lots of staplers. And…*gasp* PAPER PADS! Unbelievable.
However, we DID justify a couple awesome TI scientific calculators, though. So that will rock.
Ooooh, TI Calculators are the smex! Sweet that you’re getting one.
And yeah, that does look a lot like a pregnancy test–it’d be a funny funny if you left it on someone’s desk with a note saying, “See me–we must talk” but don’t sign it
About the cones? I already went out and got the stuff to make them. I have something that needs to come off the needles (It’s crochet but I want to finish what I’m on now before I switch jobs) before I try one, but that pattern looks as easy as it gets so even I should be able to put one together even tho I’ve backspaced 20 times in this last sentence alone.
Me so hates insomnia… so verah verah much.
