work makes me laugh

As some of you know, I am a clerical supervisor at a xray and ultrasound clinic. I have worked for this company for almost 10 years (my how time flies). I have almost hard and seen everything weird there is but today, I think I heard one that is now at the top of the list.

A lady sticks her head out of a change room and says "excuse me, but do I get changed in there or somewhere else?"
And I replied "In there, that is why it is called a change room." It came out of my mouth before I had the chance to think what I was saying. I am normally a little more careful with my words but this time it just came out.

If you think that was funny, I was get a man changed for an exam. I said to him take of your pants and your shirt off then put a gown on so it ties in the back. A couple of minutes later I came by the change room and there he was in the hallway. No shirt, no pants, no underwear, and the gown wrapped around his head like a turban. I quickly put him back in the change room and made him put something back..... anything. It was scary at the time but now I just laugh liking about it.

If little things that didn't happen I would have to cry some days. At the clinic everyday we have sad stories. (Baby losses, cancer, sick kids, etc) So when things like happen it lightens the mood just a little bit and makes the day a little more tolerable.

Hi I'm Steve, Tanis's husband. Nothing happens to me at work. My life is as exiting as a ride on a tri-cycle in the middle of febuary!

In the middle of February, eh? Depending on what the weather is like, and the incline on which you are riding, that ride on a tricycle could be rather ammusing, actually. Especially if it is a child sized one. . . the mental picture has been formed already.

laura the riding of the tricycle has already happen a few summers ago around a very large fire pit. And yes it was child size. I picture that will never leave my mind.
