Sweet Talk
There was a great quote for every day of the work week this week.
Tuesday: "Wake up, sweetie." The security guard as I went through the entrance. I didn't realize I looked as tired as I felt. (FYI, I don't particularly like being called "sweetie" or "honey" or such things. I feel like saying, "Do I look like I'm in kindergarten still?")
Wednesday: "I was going to tinkle." Male co-worker to a female co-worker, when asked, "Where are you going?" Who uses that word?!? Then, after they briefly discuss something work related, he follows up with, "I can't hold it much longer." Thanks for the info. How old are you again?
Thursday: I call to schedule a service appointment for my car. Ring. Ring. In a Reba McEntire-esque twang: "Jord'n Honda, this is Rhonda." I about died then and there.
Friday: The marketing department holds bi-weekly teleconferences on Fridays with our Columbus team. Our director, whose name should definitely be Bob, was reviewing the numbers from 2005, which were generally positive. The excitement gets the better of him: "We are en fuego. That means on fire. We are en fuego."
I hope every week in the workforce is this entertaining.

EN FUEGO! LOL.....that is hilarious, Megan...I think that if I tried to tell any of those stories, it would not be nearly as funny as this. Thanks for the laugh :)

Rhonda the red Honda meets Rhonda of Jordan Honda.
They were all funny, but that one had me laughing aloud.
