The New Hobbit Hole

[Corin Stormhands]

Nope, it's not 4:00 yet, and I have to stay until five anyway.

I've done worse than today though. I'm wearing a blue shirt and it's drying okay. I just smell like an orange...

Once though I spilled grape juice on a white shirt. But the worst time was when I had a salesman come by and when he left I went into the men's room. He'd stopped there on his way out. While he was washing his hands, he pulled the soap dispenser off the wall. Didn't get him, but I was covered with pink soap. Needless to say, he didn't bother calling on us again...

'scuse me while I go put a can of Diet Coke in the freezer...

Ya wanna borrow this?

Yup, the heck with the legal pad, I'll give 'em the axe. Worst part about these idjits is that they're sanctioned by the boss (who is a good guy, but these guys have him snookered).

hehehe - thanks for the chivalrous offers of mortal harm to my enemies... It is comforting to imagine that at any time, I could have these people beheaded. It gives me a sense of control over the situation!

Corin I once doused myself in gasoline at the gas station on the way to a job interview. I didn't have time to go home and change. I reeked. I did the best I could to interview anyway, in fact, it gave us something to chuckle about, 'cuz everyone has an embarrasing story. I got the job, though they didn't want me to hang around and chat that day! They sent me home, told me "come back tomorrow, please..."

You know that's how they deal with the non-believers in the Global Community don't you? (Left Behind - Jen's favorite book series)

'cuz everyone has an embarrasing story

I had a friend who had some extra time on the way to an interview, so she decided to drive through the car wash. She left one of her windows down. So she drove to Wendy's and used the hand dryer in the ladies' room to dry her suit. (She got the job...)

For you Hair, anytime... I don't have any embarassing job interview stories...all of my jobs have been manual labor, except for the Corps... When I retire, I wanna be the guy that hands out the smiley face stickers at Wal-Mart...or work in the tool dept of a Home Deopt-like store... sneakin’…

Is that Octane 93 you're wearing?

Those people creep me out. Take the Home Depot gig. :)

Hey! Mrs. Stormhands works at Wal-Mart. But she doesn't hand out smilie stickers. She works in the accounting office (and only until the teaching gig kicks in this fall).

the guy that hands out the smiley face stickers at Wal-Mart

Hmm, not quite how I pictured a dwarf in retirement...

work in the tool dept of a Home Deopt-like store

Yeah, that's more like a dwarf in retirement! ;)

[g'nad]

work in the tool dept of a Home Depot-like store: Yeah, that's more like a dwarf in retirement! ;)

Yeah, I'd prefer the discount at a hardware store...I'd certainly use it more...sneakin’…

[Overtaxed]

Sneak?

I've got you both beat.

I used to have very long hair, down to my backside. The job that I worked at the time was a rehab place for head trauma victims. I once leaned down beside a semi-comatose who was lying on his side. He looked odd and I asked him if he was ok. His eyes got wide and then he barfed. It hit right below my face and hit nothing but my hair. Ran all the way down my hair as I leaned over. I just remained leaning over and went into the shower room and washed my hair out!

Then, I was assisting a lady from the bedside commode back into bed. She leaned over the bed with me standing behind her supporting her. All she had on was hospital gown. Just as she leaned over, she had an episode of explosive liquid stool. She sprayed me and the wall behind me. Before I could stop myself, I swore (I don't swear anymore). Then I begged her forgiveness for having sworn and we both just died laughing. I called out the door and the other nurses gave me a fresh set of scrubs. I changed and was none the worse for wear.

Then once I dropped a bedside commode bucket and it filled my sneakers up with urine. I just took them off, washed my feet and had my husband bring me a different pair of socks and sneakers. I discarded the others.

Nursing can be a dirty job sometimes!

[g'nad]

I categorically deny it! I've been framed!...sneakin’…

[HairOfTheDog]

Thanks!

[shocking everyone] I have never, in my life, been in a Wal-Mart store! So I don't know about the smiley face guys, but I have to admit, the description does not fit my image of you.

I love the tool guys at the hardware store, and I can see a dwarf being particularly good in that role, especially the selection and sharpening of cutting implements!

I can't speak for the others, but as far as I'm concerned, you win.

[HairOfTheDog]

hehehe - Yes, I can imagine nursing can be a very dirty job sometimes! [shudder] I think story number two takes the cake!

[g'nad]

I used to have very long hair, down to my backside.

I used to have a pony tail down to my shoulder blades... my wrestling coach finally made me cut it...

The job that I worked at the time was a rehab place for head trauma victims.

What an awesome job! You were doing God's work, let me tell yuh!

sneakin’…

Mine?...sneak!
