A Day in the Life

So, this is from yesterday.  I guess neither Darla nor I had much to do yesterday… of course, when we DO have a lot to do, we usually manage some conversation amidst and between what we’re working on.  This is just to show you the humor and banter we have at work.  It really does make for a nice workday most of the time!  J

So, yesterday morning:

Darla      i want to throw my computer out the window, into the street so it can be run over by a semi~
Me              ooh fun can I watch
Darla      ab~so~lute~ly
Darla      this thing is about to make me crazy
Darla      Jimbo

                   *the company’s head IT guy*

                   has been here 3 times, and I have had 4 netmeetings with people all over the world trying to fix the problem
Me              wow you're a go-getter!
Me              heh
Darla      quite
Me              mine was so slow this morning with all kinds of errors, I rebooted and that took in total about an HOUE
Me              HOEER
Me              HOUR
Darla      yerp
Darla      that too
Me              OWW-URR!!
Me              lol
Me              SPELLING is not working today...
Darla      thats actually a little slower than mine3
Me              wow

                   *Darla has this thing with her computer… or a twitch in her hand; I’m not sure… but she typos a “3” after many of her words.  Even words that end with letters nowhere near the “3” button.  Search me… but it does become humorous sometimes… heh…!!

Here was a moment of sheer amazement… remember Mack… I described him a few posts ago… Mr. Egomaniac…

Me              Mack just left and told me THANK YOU for something I did for him earlier
Me              excuse me real fast while I pass out and wake back up
Darla      well bless his heart
Darla      *fanning face*... 'NICOLE..... NICOOOOOOOLE... Wake up deary"
Me              ...huh?  Auntie Em??
Darla      "You and you,......and You were there"
Me              and YOU... and You..........
Me              NO SHEET I was just typing the same thing!!!
Me              too funny

…Love it when that kind of thing happens, ha!

Me              I'm so not kidding you what Jack just said
Me              "Is that a HOE-TELL or a TITTY BAR across the street from that place?"
Me              Steve:  "The titty bar's a little futher down"

                   *And  yes, he did say “FUTHER” – not further.  He’s a Cajun boy, what can I say.  J  Steve’s another really good guy who works here.  He’s cool.*

Me              I'm aghast.  Aghast, I tell you.
Darla      :O
Darla      ROFL
Darla      they sound like a hoot
Me              we should install an audio monitoring device here so you can get in on all this hilarity
Darla      oh man, i would love that


Darla      tell me to stop eating begneits
Darla      begniets
Me              stop eating begneits
Darla      whatever
Me              beignets LOL
Darla      yeah
Darla      thats it

…Darla and spelling are not the best of friends.  I’m anal about that sort of thing… and grammar… though I’m not perfect myself, but it really does drive me nuts when I see blatant disregard of rules and errors all over the place!  Ahem.  Anyway.  Sometimes I correct her, but that can get to be peevish… sometimes I ignore it; whatever… and sometimes I just make good ol’ fun of her.   *GRIN*

Darla      Ummmm, why did you send your peeps over here ????

                   *a couple of guys from this office showed up at her office, for a meeting or something*

Darla      I didnt request this
Me              so much for doing a surprise for you... *pout*

Darla      ROFL
Darla      i love it
Darla      your welcome :))


Darla      you know
Darla      its really gross to watch people exhale when smoking
Darla      especially when they are talking
Darla      eck
Me              And now it's time for... DEEP THOUGHTS by... Jack Handy
Darla      go 'head
Me              I was just doing that for your smoking comment LOL

…Here’s where I check to see if my office-mates were headed back over in this general direction yet.  It had been such a nice, quiet day!  J

Me              you still got my peeps?
Darla      as far as i know
Darla      they are in the driving training
Darla      which lasts about 3 hrs
Darla      they may not make it back today
Me              driver's ed for the company employee
Darla      cuz they havent done the driving yet3
Darla      yup

*here we go again on another tangent… this is funny…*

Me              I wonder if they get to watch a video with that 1960's narrator voice
Darla      oh
Darla      that
Darla      is
Darla      great
Darla      i watched an old video not too long ago
Darla      about  the most efficient kitchen
Darla      1958
Darla      and it was about a revolutionary future kitchen
Darla      complete with built in desk with phone
Darla      and a carving board near the sink
Darla      and storage for staples
Me              gee golly
Darla      like rice, potatoes, flour and sugar
Darla      but the thought of an electric garbage disposal wasnt in there
Darla      the scraps where dumped into a hole behind the sink and fell into an outdoor buck
Darla      bucket
Darla      where it could be fed to animals
Me              ha like an outhouse for food
Darla      yep
Me              wow that's instant recycling
Darla      it was quite entertaining to watch though
Darla      the lady was demonstrating the efficiency of having drawers under the counter for easy access when working at the counter
Me              did she have a smart waistline and high heels
Darla      and that the most comfortable working height for a counter was so and so inches from the ground
Darla      and she needed at least 48 square inches of space in order to make the proper breads and side dishes
Darla      why yes, yes she did
Darla      she was dressed for church
Me              LMAO
Darla      with no where to go,..... but the kitchen
Me              that is so funny

…Never a dull moment with Jack in the house!  Heh…

Me              hey
Me              either Jack is doing a bonanza of a job tapping his pen on his desk
Me              or he is playing ping pong alone
Darla      hey..
Darla      it could happen
Darla      HEY
Me              huh
Darla      Its not beer pong is it??
Darla      NO FAIR !!

*no drinking at work… but I don’t do well at work under the influence anyway… ask my friend Kathy, heh…*

Darla      I seriously need a haircut
Darla      i feel like Van Halen
Me              impressive yet scary.....
Darla      very
Darla      i tend  to get stares
Darla      dunno why

**OKAY I have to interject this from now, today… Jack just spouted off in the other room, “If you’da told me it was the WATER COMPANY, I woulda KNOWN!!  Those cheap SUNNAMABICHES don’t wanna pay for NOTHIN!!”  I have no idea what he was talking about, heh… that’s just Jack.  He does that.  Here he goes again… “PLENTYA people have told her that shit!  She’s a LYIN’ SUNNUVA BITCH!”  I don’t think it’s terrets… I think it’s more… that he just doesn’t care.

-Here goes our adventure into the
land of Sesame Street
... we do cover it all in our conversations... from ABC to 123...

Darla      i cant believe its only 2 oclock
Darla      *banging head on desk*

Me              puppet
Darla      oh ok

Darla      cuz they were in their 40's when i was a kid
Darla      and they havent aged much
Me              yeah I know!
Darla      Meeve is at my desk

*Meeve = Mack and Steve.  They go everywhere together… practically joined at the hip.  Well Mack is training Steve to take over for him when he retires.  (I KNOW!  He’s RETIRING!!! Hahaha)  Anyway, Darla and I have blended their names to make referring to them simpler, since they act as one unit anyway.)  J
