See? I can play well with others.

Our IT guy, AmesJay, left a few months ago, suddenly without notice, which I've heard had something to do with his wife catching him with some stripper in Montgomery. He fled the state, and we were fortunate that the woman who previously held his position was looking for a job.

EllyKay. This may be difficult to believe, but I have nothing negative to say about her. Well...she doesn't drink, but that's pretty minor - I can overlook it. She did have sex in our bathroom at work with a cheating-on-his-wife bottom feeder, but that was probably because she had taken too much demerol for her migraine. We get along, occasionally go to lunch together, and she feeds the feral cats when I'm not there.

Yesterday, she won lunch from a local radio station for answering these questions:

1) if the vice president dies, who's the president?
2) if you have a dozen three-cent stamps, how many do you have?

LUNCH! She won lunch!

I have had such a bad week this week and your comment made me all teary because you understand. I just want it to be over.

Yet there is still hope for the employee pool at work - that's great news!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

What's not to like? Her name is EllyKay, for God's sake; and even *I* initially thought it said EdgyKay, even though I knew full-well it wasn't me working anywhere NEAR anything IT-ish.

I see this as one step closer to a real-life meeting between you and me.

Is she taking YOU to lunch? Because I would. You know it.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Those are great questions! I gotta know, how many people got them wrong?? LMAO
Sex on Demerol huh? Why didn't I think of that? (dang it's not my fault, I took too many demerol... 3 or 9 tims...) BIG HUGS, Steph

times, that is, but his name could be Tim.... as long as tiny isn't attached to the name. OH my word verification has DUH in it! lol

It's the small things that amuse me, what can I say!

Free lunch is the best lunch around. Sex in the bathroom gives new meaning to those charts I often see with check boxes for number of times serviced.

i second stubborn mule's comment and crack myself up in the process.

You definitely have a variety of people at work and your descriptions of the people and situations make me laugh.

I hope the free lunch is delicious!

I also hope you got all your work knocked out early (if you felt energetic) so you can enjoy this holiday weekend. If you didn't, don't worry you have an extra day to take care of it! ;)

Mayor: We'll have to ask her - I rarely even take Tylenol...

Marcie: It's nice to know she has time to call in to the radio station while I'm hard at work! ;)

Leah: Just remember, one day at a time...

Stephen: you too, and don't call me for bail ;)

Kay: actually, it's my slick pig latin version of her name, Kelly, though I could start calling her EdgyKay, just to crack myself up. Let's be on the lookout for a radio station giving free plane tickets from Alabama to Minnesota (or vice versa) instead of a measly lunch. Bah!

Steph: you're too cute! And apparently, people were calling in all morning with the incorrect answers before she finally got through. Yep, that's Alabama!

Mule/Biped: I think the bathroom had been cleaned that month so it wasn't that abnormal ;)

Molecular Turtle: It's usually 3 times per day, right? ;)

Michelle: Um...I was supposed to be there this morning but instead I've done some redecorating of my blog, moved over some archives, and generally procrastinated my way through the morning.

Have a great holiday weekend, all!
