Phone Cords

I'm sure everyone knows what a normal office phone looks like. Black, bunch of buttons, hold, voicemail, blah blah blah, about 1.5-2ft cord. Well, my cord is the same cord I've had for 3 years now. Looks brand new. The chick behind me, I can't say that it is or isn't the original cord, but she has it sooooo twisted that she had to pull the phone away form where it sits up to her chin so she can talk on it. I just fixed it for her 2 days ago and it's already jacked up again. Anyway, how does that even happen? I mean a twist now and then, I get that, but I mean it's so twisted, I had to pull it apart... I don't get it. The fact that she is a total spaz, makes it even funnier to watch her answer her phone, with the whole thing coming up to her chin so she has to lean down to talk... Oh if I could only get a pic...

How did that even happen?

So, for the 2nd time in I'd say about 30 days, I've dropped a pen into the toilet(While at work, I don't keep pens on me at home). My first one, it was a gone-er, it fell mid-flush, and I wasn't going after it. Not to mention, the first time it was my most favorite pen ever! This 2nd time that just occurred... well, I was able to save this one... I know, I know... it sounds totally nasty, but I washed and disenfected it, so I think it's good. It was my runner up for fave pen which since the demise of my favorite pen, has risen to #1. Needless to say, I will not be chewing on it, but it's probably cleaner now than any other pen in my possesion..... FML

Lessen I've taken from this? Don't put pens in your scrub top pockets.

Is that bad?

Is it bad that I part my hair on the side that I do basically to shield the person that sits to the right of me?
That's bad isn't it?
The way I see it, something has to cover the side of my face so the person to the direct right of me doesn't see me rolling my eyes and making faces while they are talking. Somethings I just can't contain inside of me so it has to be expelled at some point and it's normally released during convorsation with a certain someone. Therefor, I do believe it's a nesecisty for me to have my 'hair shield' to save myself and a colleuge from embaraament. Well, mainley the collegue becuase at this point, I really could give a shit less, seeing as how it really wouldn't embarass me anymore. I'm past the point of caring in this situation. I use the shield to save what little work 'relationship' I have so it's not consistently awkward. Well, lets say more awkward than you already are.....

Weird, Awkward Conversation....

(phone rings)
me: Hello
weird person: You know when I first started, and there was the toothbrush thing?
me: ..........(thinking, but very confused) You mean a toothette? The little sponge on a stick?
weird person: (awkward pause) no (more awkward pause)
me: you mean for a patient right?
weird person: (awkward pause) no (me waiting for more explanation) you had them. They were like a little toothbrush.
me: oh you mean a Wisp, the disposable ones?
weird person: I don't know what they are called but yes. (awkward pause) I'm going out after work and forgot my toothbrush so if you don't have any I have to go to plan B. (I don't even want to know what plan b was)
me: ummm... I don't know if I have any, I'll look
weird person: (awkward pause)
me: well, I'll look and call you back
weird person: (awkward pause) ok
End conversation.

So, I look and find two. You really only need one. So I take both back to her. So she asks me what kind they are because she is allergic to an ingredient in certain things. I said, ummm.. they are cinnamon, I don't know what all is in them...
I got no reply, so just walked away.

I swear almost every conversation with this person is awkward...

Awkward!

Crying people make me feel very awkward.... So do babies, well and crying babies... I dunno... I'm weird, I guess, but I just can't deal with people crying, it makes me want to be mean to them! My son is different, but everyone else... yea...
