#overheard at work

[mooncustafer]

Overheard at work: coworker describing somebody as “like that girl from the movie The Ring.” By which he apparently doesn’t mean that she has hair hanging over her eyes, nor that she will come out of a tv set and kill you, but that she’s an insomniac.

Which is a detail in the movie, but not one most viewers remember.

I work in a substance misuse service and am pissing myself at a note I read on our case management system today.

"client disclosed the occasional use of crack cocaine. Said he could take it or leave it. I suggested he leave it."

My mom overheard this conversation

Lady 1: I went out on a date last night. It was seafood.

Lady 2: Did you have a good time?

Lady 1: It was fine. He looked like Alf though.

Conversation in the hallway:

Random person: I felt okay about walking to class today then I saw someone on a unicycle in front of me.

(It is -25°C where I live today)

Eve: where’s Jasper today?

Victoria: working from home.

Eve, sarcastically: wow he has such a good boss to let him do that.

Ava: HA

Victoria: Ava, stop it. Don’t encourage her.

Highlight of the day: listening to teens inadvertently create a hodgepodge Arthurian Legend/Biblically inspired game of DnD with Chess pieces at work.

They were absolutely supposed to probably be revising or doing some homework, but their story telling was wonderful. As was their infectious enjoyment.

Eddie posts a Tiktok that’s captioned ‘zoomies with the kids.’

It’s just a video of himself listening while Steve gets absolutely roasted over zoom. You can hear a lot of laughing while Dustin is like, “Is that seriously how you flirt?”

Max, mocking: Oooh, rockstar. What’s in your pants??

Mike: You should be embarrassed. I’m embarrassed. Of you.

Steve, voice loudest because he’s sitting right next to Eddie: What about it? I’ve been getting laid on the reg for decades so it’s clearly working. He likes it.

The party:

The party: No one wants to hear about your sex life, Steve!

*At a Christmas party*

Young!Jason: Hey, did you know that I asked Santa for a gernade for Christmas?

Socialite: *shocked, panicked* Y-You did?

Jason: And I will know that Santa Claus isn't real if he doesn't give me one!

Dick: *panicking, and stuttering* Santa won't give out gernades!

Jason: *huffs, crossing arms and ignoring the socialite* Yeah, huh! Because if he doesn't then he isn't real!
