I hauled the torso upstairs where I placed it into a closet jammed pack with other child mannequin parts. It occurred to me that while my job is pretty weird (Collections at a museum) in general, I'm sure other people on the board have weird moments at work as well. | Promote this thread! |           | Leroy

Last week, I arrived to find a dead mallard right outside my office door (my office door opens to a courtyard, and 100 feet away is a reflecting pool). There it stayed until 3pm, when someone from animal control finally hauled it away.
Lucky for me, the wind was blowing the other direction.

I remember one study I worked on...there was a conference call that had a 10 minute side-discussion about patients experiencing seriously explosive diarreah. I wanted to take my phone off of mute and say, "seriously explosive diarreah?? Is there any other kind??" | wmatistic

The bottom line is, no matter how normal you think the guy next to you a work is....think again. And try having THAT conversation with your boss when they ask you to get specific on the details. | hayden

Last week, the best student in the class wore a red sweatshirt that featured a picture of a monkey in a tub of wax, and all around him were written various things:
"Polish your monkey with monkey wax!"
"Make your monkey happy!"
"It only takes minutes a day!"
"Give him the daily buffing he deserves!"
"Banana monkey!"
Another kid wore a jean jacket with Cookie Monster on it, and under the picture was written, "Cookie Monster is a deeply complicated individual".

That never came up in my studies. | hayden

Heh, strange - that's not my blog, and the jacket was the same as the one in the pic, except it was a jean jacket. Funny that another teacher actually saw the jacket and took a pic of it, though. | Dexley's Midnight Jogger
