More Fun at Work (?)

Hi there most humans and many others,

Missy Linda came home with another story that she thinks is funny. I personally feel that some of these little snippets of a job in retail are grasping at crazy straws.

Anyway, one day Missy Linda asked Mr. Bigboss (the store manager) if he ever found it hard to come to the same job for so long because he has worked in essentially the same job in a couple of different stores since the late 70s. He told her that it was the customers that kept him from being too bored because you never knew what to expect from them.

Missy Linda thinks this is a good example of that premise, and Mr. Bigboss was not even there yesterday to enjoy this.

There was a nice lady who came in to buy supplies to make a wedding dress that her three year old granddaughter requested. In a bag that she brought with her was her granddaughter's favorite toy, which was the "bride" for whom the little girl wanted the dress. It was a large stuffed parrot! It was at least as big as a real parrot, and it looked almost alive.

This poor grammy was intent on doing her best to make a wedding dress for this parrot to make her granddaughter happy. The little darling wanted to make sure that the parrot would carry flowers, too. There was no mention of the groom. One can only wonder!

Just when I think that Missy Linda and many others of you humans are as crazy as you can get, she brings home a story like this! I am truly becoming worried for the future of your human race! And the weird thing is that Missy Linda thinks the grammy was very nice and not a bit crazy!
