Ew.

Claudia, disgustedly:  "I think there's still a carcass in there!"

(I'd found a BCD case with some sort of abandoned insect cocoon or nest in it.  Though Claudia was grossed out by it, she couldn't help giving it a closer inspection.)

I wonder what my energy affects?

So yesterday I was helping a woman get a library card.  Another woman was standing very close to her, only about a foot or so away, & I finally asked her to take a step or two back.  I have to verify people's information so I don't like to have people too close so they can overhear.  She widened her eyes & acted a little offended, but did step back.

When I was done with the first woman, I assisted the second woman & she asked me why I'd asked her to step back.  I told her it was for privacy reasons, & she said, "Oh, I thought you were going to say something about my energy interfering with your computer."  I thought that was odd, & said so, & she replied, "No, it actually happens more often than you realize, when people's energy interferes with technology that's close by.  I've had a couple of people ask me to stand somewhere else because my energy was too much for their computer."

Huh.

Backhanded, I guess, but I'll take what I can get

An apology I received via text yesterday:

"I'm sorry for overreacting to your orneriness."

A couple of classics & a couple of new ones

Okay, here's one from about 3 months ago that I never got around to posting:

Joan came out of the bathroom, & was immediately overheard saying, "I am so proud of myself!  I did it all by myself, I didn't have to ask for help!"
FYI, she wasn't really talking about what happened in the bathroom, but the timing was perfect.

About a month ago another coworker started singing, & said, "Oh no, I have the singing thing!  But you already knew that didn't you.  I didn't do jazz hands, does that count?"
I think out of all the people who wouldn't intentionally aim for landing on this blog but inadvertently end up on it, she would have the most entries.  Just saying.

Today a mom was checking out a book while I was on the desk.  Her daughter came up & asked what the mom was checking out.  The mom told her it was a book about Johnny Depp.  The girl looked at the cover & then asked, "Who's Johnny Depp?"  I think I almost cried.

Myself & two coworkers were in the back room just having one of our normally abnormal conversations.  I was kind of around the corner where I could only see one other person, & the door was hidden from my view.  I guess maybe I should be a little more careful about exactly how I phrase things because I said, "I don't think I've ever heard of a fruity primate."  Unbeknownst to me the manager had walked into the back just in time to hear me say that.  Oops.

Nix is SO addicted to video games.

Nix asked if he could watch a certain movie on his laptop.  I asked him what it was rated.  His reply:

"I don't know.  Probably E for Everyone."
