Consider the possibilities that someone hacked his phone or Facebook account and they are phishing through his contacts -or- he did send someone a Xmas card but he clicked your contact info rather than theirs because he is confused and took INT for a dump stat. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phishing and/or spoofing were thoughts of mine as well, but part of that is I get 2-3 phishing emails a week at work... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My youngest cousin just posted an obituary to FB. It was a shocker to me because it was for her husband, but the obit didn't mention her at all. Apparently they got divorced sometime in the last year, and no one told us. Not sure if I should send her a card, or what. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if your up for it, send a small wreath anonymously with something like 'with hearts and kisses for the best years of my life' or 'I will remember our time in Toledo forever' Its a great way to stir up some exciting conversation at the funeral 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator OneBoot Posted August 26, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2020 The Staples Saga now has a sequel. It is too long to type on my phone during lunch. Scissors are now involved, as well as much confusion about boxes. Also, a philosophical debate about the merits of writing on a piece of paper that already has writing on it. It's a good thing I like working here and view all of these proceedings as a potential for humor, otherwise I think I might run screaming down the street. I never before appreciated the inherent drama potential of such an innocuous office supply! Huzzah! --OneBoot :D 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-com cannabis! Straight from the land of mulberry and hemp. I'd definitely pick out a few of the best looking seeds and germinate them, just to be sure. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean is sending hand calligraphed memos to your boss on scented paper sealed with an actual lipstick kiss. Keep in mind the content of the letter must be completely business oriented.

Popular Post Keianna Posted August 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2020 Ok, this is regular enough to be a thing now. I will be minding my own business, doing stuff on my computer and I will hear some shuffling from nearby. I look and try to find whatever small fuzzy has gotten inside and see nothing. Get a bit freaked and go back to what I was doing. Hear it again. Again see nothing. At this point, I loudly ask 'Is there a cat in the box?' This is the pretty consistent answer: One paw peeks over the edge. 6 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monster Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 5 hours ago, kristof65 said: An all too frequent conversation I have happened yet again today Customer (one of our dealers) last week: Can you order me three of this part? Me: Sure. Customer today: OMG! They sent me the wrong part! I can't start this install without them! Me: Crap. Can you send me a picture of what they sent you so I can get the right part sent? Customer sends picture of part, which is basically a blue box with a small circuit board in it. Me: That's what you ordered. Customer: No, the ones I need are grey! Me: They're the same part number, we just changed box colors a few years back so that people could find it easier while troubleshooting. Customer: But the grey ones don't have that extra connector. Me: Yes they do. Since you don't need to use the extra connector, just ignore it. I continually find it amazing how changing the color of that part sends people into panic mode. And they never, ever take the time to check both the part and the invoice to verify the numbers. GEM 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kuroneko Posted August 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2020 @Keianna, that's adorable Diva likes to pretend that she's stuck in bags, then springs out to 'attack' you. In other news, I don't think our Squirrel Baffle is working But the big news in this house is that our resident juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker is finally bold enough to come to the feeders whilst we're looking out of the window! It's been so timid that it was scared of any movement into the house and would fly away at once. It still keeps an eye on us but the lure of the peanuts is apparently too strong 22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
