and just painful when they grow up.

I saw one (I think) when we were in Temple Hills, strolling across the road in a heavy rain. I didn't get a good look but the silhouette looked right. Not the place I expected to see one.

One of my all-time favorite emails was this one, which I keep pinned on my bulletin board:

"Please keep angry people from following the public trying to help them with their lost pen after talking with the police."

That was it; the email in its entirety.
My boss and I spent DAYS crafty clever responses, which of course, were never sent. The actual responses come from our Customer Service Manager who somehows seems to generally summon the requisite tact to answer people in a way that won't get her fired. I don't know how she does it.

Mary Lou works in an Adult School. This stuff is good ... but pales by comparison. I propose to her a sitcom names Adult School ... nothing ... absolutely nothing needs to be invented.

I could so work with her on that project. It's true - none of it needs to be made up!

As an example, in posted in the restroom is a sign stating "No Standing on the Toilets!"

I mean ... WTF ...

The man who isn't Justice Alito and who isn't blurred out is my bf.

What a good looking couple ... you and the Justice.

As the website administrator and social media manager, I get all the "complaint" emails. Fortunately for myself AND my company, it is NOT my job to REPLY to these emails, because most of the responses I can think of would have cut my employment quite short.

I'm with you on that! Sometimes I have to sit at the front desk and deal with students as they come in and also answer the phones.

They've learned here at work to not make me do that very often.

He doesn't look awkward at all!

That is a gift reserved for the successful PR hacks.

If you want to hear some really strange things, and some really sad thing, go work in a 9-1-1 center. Each call is an adventure: hilarious, heart-wrenching, and everything in between.

I just had to make a sign for the exit door that the bus operators use to get from their break room out to the bus platform, which reminds them to WATCH for buses before they cross the platform. They're bus operators, for jam's sake!! THEY are the ones DRIVING the bus on the platform, seems like they'd sort of be able to figure out that they want to be sure one isn't there before they step out onto the roadway!!

I did at least get to make it humorous though. I put a picture of the platform, with a bus coming toward them, with Mr. Bill stuck to the bus windshield sayng "OH NO!!!" and then it said, "How ironic would it be if YOU got hit by a bus? Please look before you cross the platform."
Some union employee will probably now accuse me of creating a hostile work environment.

OH MY GOD, A SECOND SNEEZE!!!

I am one lucky woman today.

Women are like that. After I sneeze I just roll over and get some ZZzzzz.

Hey, we have to have some sort of consolation prize for getting bodies that are so fickle about...sneezing.

... like chili powder?

That's all about limiting a law suite ... not, (hopefully), about stupidity.

OH, TRUST me. It's about stupidity.

I've just discovered that you can upload a pdf file to a post!

In other news, if you have the time to read it (and if you're posting on the LB thread, you do…), THIS is the single most awesomely horrible letter I have ever had the privilege--uum, misfortune--to read. It's so incredible that I can't even just pick a sentence or two to describe its essence.
