#work shenanigans

[silverskye13]

A fun shenanigan to come out of this stupid car crash:

I work at a car dealership, and participate in the phone calls where we purchase some of our vehicles [mostly taking meeting notes, but occasionally my input leads to a purchase, generally for laughs].

My GM knows I've [probably] totaled my car, and also knows what I've loudly stated I want my next car to be.

Every car on the call today:

Skye look!! Skye it matches your glasses! [I have rainbow glasses] You have to get it. [Sales Manager] That's Skye's next car, put a bid on!

Hey a Nissan Kicks! Skye you would look sick in a Kicks! And it's got an orange top like your glasses!! SM why aren't you bidding? Skye needs the Kicks!

And then my favorite:

GM: Skye! Skye it's the [my dream car]!! And it's blue!! Just like your glasses-- and low mileage! SM, come on come on!!

SM: Hey hold on hold on, we're not buying from those guys anymore

GM, visibly disappointed: Why not??

SM: They gave Skye a hard time with titlework, so I said we won't buy from them anymore. They're not worth it.

Me, not realizing GM hadn't been debriefed on this: U-uhh-- I mean, you guys can buy from who you want to--

GM, very seriously: We will find a different [dream car] that matches your glasses.

Me when my office manager isn’t looking and then my coworkers telling me she looked after I turned away. OH OKAY.

Me when I have to ask her something that actually has to do with my job and not just mindlessly flirt with her

Oh and my favorite of all when I say something and she laughs or makes a cute little comment back

Ma’am, can you just tell me to my face that you’re in love with me too

Coworker: hey are you good at tasting teas?

Me-as-Ginger: yeah absolutely I drink teas all the time, what's up?

Coworker: can you tell if I over-steeped this?

Me: yeah can you hand me a cup of water first to wash down this vanilla latte I'm drinking?

Coworker: *hands me the water and tea*

Me: *rinses out the taste of coffee, give myself a second, then tasting the tea* yeah that's very definitely over-steeped

Coworker: cool thanks man

Me: no problem. *takes a sip of my latte* god I fucking hate this drink why did I even order it

Me:

Me:

Me-as-Green: GOD DAMMIT I SWITCHED JUST TO TASTE THE TEA DIDN'T I

A conversation with my coworker who I will call Frank:

*Talking about bugs etc and Frank mentions he always takes spiders outside*

Neon: I love spiders 🥺 they're so cute and wise.

Frank: Wise???

Neon: Did you know jumping spiders can see the moon?

Frank: That doesn't make them wise.

Neon: Well, can you spin a web?

Frank *Slightly sad*: No, you're right

one thing i love about my job is that our print manager loves laminating all the art everyone leaves around

it's so much fun to see my doodles laminated and put up on his little gallery wall <333

[sapphanimates]

the kids at work turned me into an art factory again.

OFFICE MANGER UPDATE BECAUSE MY HEART IS EXPLODING

Her coming down stairs and saying “hey” while I’m like “hi” *heart eyes* in my head god you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen

Her going up front and coming back to pause and ask me “do you need anything while I am out at the post office?” SHE ONLY ASKED ME BTW.

Me: no, I don’t think so

Her: just your sanity, right?

DID SHE JUST WINK AT ME WHILE SHE LAUGHED!?

I need to ask her to hang outside of work. Will I? Probably not because this is me when I think about it

One of the funny things about being on the Very Important Weekly Sales Call is I sometimes say things during the call that have direct consequences.

For example:

Me: Oh, that one looks pretty

The GM: Okay, we'll bid on it. Skye never compliments the cars so it must be good

And, from today:

Me: I really like the Corolla Cross. I like the SUV style. My next car will probably be a Cross.

The GM: Bid on the Cross, Skye. You can buy it retail.

Me, sweating visibly: Don't say things like that.
