Only two days into the work week post Christmas holidays and I am bagged.

Funny story from today.

A general manager asked me if I could meet him in his office when I had a free minute. A few minutes later, I discovered I was staring blankly at the wall, so I went to go see him. He looked and me and said, “you’ve been here for a while, you kind of know the ins and outs of this office.” I looked at him, eyebrow arched. He said, “I know that’s kind of a loaded question but I was wondering how to blah blah blah pay for my copy of the company cookbook.” So, I told him how he could get his money discretely from one office location to another. Easy peasy. That’s not really the funny part. He told me that there was a rather unfortunate typo in the cookbook and asked me if I’d noticed it. I’d never even laid eyes on this company cookbook, and told him I hadn’t. I asked him what it was, chocolate shit cookies? He said, “No, worse, well, better,  but listen you can’t tell anyone.” So anyway, there’s a woman who works in our office whose last name is basically crack. Essentially. I don’t think that’s giving too much away. When he told me it was a typo to do with her name, I assumed they’d just spelled it like I did above. crack. ok, whatever, who cares. BUT IT’S BETTER THAN THAT! They screwed up on her first name. When you replace the d in ju(d)y with the very nearby s, you get something that reads, essentially, juicy crack. oh man. When a 50-something year old manager shares this with you in confidence you know you’ve made the a-team. We laughed for evar. Srsly. Best beckoning into office of 2009. So far.

I still think it’s funny.

Almost makes up for not getting a raise this year. Almost.
