ADD at Work

[sandmannd]

Well, I get a little ADD when looking at a computer all day. Today, the tornado sirens started going off outside. I threw my headset down and started running around yelling "Air Raid". I work with a ton of people, got some crazy looks and a few just hit the floor laughing at me. 

Anyone else do anything crazy to break the monoteny?

Some times I read  these posts way to quick and they don't come out like they are written, at first glance I thought I read Tomatoe sirens! Needless to say I am going back to staining cabinets and breathing in the fumes But on another thought my daughter and I for years when we are at a store that has a door alarm when you exit and we hear the alarm go off we both will yell run... That gets a few looks from time to time..

we had a guy who was the office butt kisser win tickets to garth brooks way back when.. after the concert he complained that the tickets were nose bleeds and he was mad. so later that day I called him from an office phone and told him I was from "bob" and that we just noticed we gave him the tickets we usually give to charity and we were sorry, and that if he came to the station we would give him tickets to a private garth show that wasn't public.  he came through the office bragging about these tickets and blah blah blah.. asked out boss if he wanted to go with him to the show and took the rest of the day off to go get the tickets. he was so PO'd the next day. I didn't let it end there, I had a girl I knew call him again and say that she was from the station and was sorry that someone played a joke on him, and that garth did not do a private show the station felt bad for him and if he would come down they would give him a listener package for the trouble. he went down again... and they gave him a T'shirt and told him not to come back.  that week I found another job and at my going away party he was whining about it so I told him what I thought about him and that I played the trick on him.. I even offered to let him have a free shot.. I hated that little buttkisser.

Sometimes when the supervisor walks up to me to talk about something, I ask him to hold on a second.  I grab my tape measure and pull out about a foot of the tape, lock it in place and talk into the tape measure as if it's a cell phone.  And depending on my mood, I'll talk for as little as a minute to a couple of minutes.  He just stands there and laughs.  And if he's really annoying me I tell him to please have his wife quit calling me at work!

Couple of funny things, I love calling him as the radio station and having him go to pick up more tickets, that's awesome.

Needless to say, my boss wasn't happy with my actions today. I have, especially when she's pissed at me, will ask her if she wants fries with that when she asks me a question. Or, when I co-worker or my boss tells me something that is common sense (refer to politcal thread) I thank them and tell them "I am now dumber for having known that" or walk out of a meeting and say "now there's two hours of my life I'll never get back".
