Fun at Work

Hello there most humans and many others,

Missy Linda was telling me a story about some funny and weird things that happened at her work on Sunday. It was probably much more entertaining to her than it is to us. But, anyway, here is what she said happened:


When she and her boss went in the store to open on Sunday, they were greeted by some signage mistakes that just sent Missy Linda into a giggling mess. There were at least twelve of these signs posted in prominent places throughout a whole area of the store. Now, the boss is notorious for being a bad speller, but someone had to put up the signs and failed to notice the error! There is plenty of blame to spread around.

Missy Linda and her boss spent the day laughing and trying to decide what they could do with the signs as a joke to the big boss that would be funny but allow them to stay employed. There were several ideas tossed about, such as a giant poster hanging in the store when the boss came in the next day with the signs being held by the "Sunday girls" (that's what they call themselves because the same people always work on Sundays). Someone thought getting some potatoes and carving them into people, then taking pictures would be hilarious. They finally decided on something more simple.

Missy Linda's immediate boss took one of the signs and wrote a note which she attached to it, and she left it in the office. It went something like this:

Dear Mr. ____,
An Idaho Russet and a Big Baker came in to buy some of the fabrics advertised, but none of us knew anything about the "Decotator Fabrics." We did not know where or what they are. The Russet and Baker left the store quite upset and mentioned that they might contact the corporate office.

Go figure. Missy Linda thinks that whole thing is hilarious.
