Some Blog Site

Since the normal website for this topic is not suitable for all ages, I thought I would contribute things I heard this week at my workplace.

• Employee: “Hahahahaha… I know better than to do this, but I’m going to send this to you.”

  Okay, Ethics 101 here. If you know something is wrong and do it anyway, you are usually worse off legally than if you didn’t know it was wrong. No, I don’t know who it was who said that. Where I am, I can hear the sounds from a lot of different cubicles. I could tell you the general direction (it came from over there), but that’s about it.

• Employee: “You know, if you tell your girlfriend that her dead cat never loved her, that really [irks her].”

  The editor had to intervene on the last part of that sentence, but you get the general idea. My co-worker and I overheard that one and just started laughing. I think it is funny mainly because I was left wondering why someone would say that. What was the background there? I could ask, I suppose, but I think it’s better not knowing.

• Someone brought his kids into work for a short time, maybe around lunch, and we heard a baby or small child crying.
  Child: “waaaaaaah”
  Engineer: “New program manager…”

  When someone brings small children, especially babies, into the engineering office, that usually prompts a number of jokes.

Side note: did you ever wonder about the phrase “a little bird told me”? Today’s verse, below, shows that the Israelites had that same phrase a few thousand years ago.
