http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6906&msg_id=6910 I work with probably the same mix of people when it comes to unexpected things. Those who would awkwardly look at some strange gift, those who immediately move it aside, and of course the ones who proudly display whatever new weird shit comes there way. I fall proudly in the last category. One of the nice things about being the latter is eventually people realize what you're doing and intentionally bring you weird shit. Currently around my desk is a broken coffee much that says "Classy and Sassy", a small stuffed eagle, a plastic King Cake baby, a sticky jelly eyeball, a diary with Rorshach from the Watchmen on the cover, a framed photobooth picture from a holiday party where I convinced a bunch of people to grab random objects from the hotel lobby, a shitty hand drawn picture on a napkin of a coworkers feet under the wall of a bathroom stall, a couple large nerf guns... Yeah all that stuff isn't mine, it's just showed up over the years and it sits in my cubicle in the main office area. I also have one of the most prominent and visible cubicles as it's on the end of the row right by the main walkway, and the walls are only about 4' high so all my stuff is pretty visible.

Which I thought was kinda fun. It was also very entertaining. As they all came in one morning, they each came in to a different Beanie Baby on their chair. I enjoyed watching my coworkers either: Pick the things up as if they had never seen them before, turning them over as if they were a strange rock, or a curious puzzle, or... Impassively and mechanically remove the Beanie Babies off of their chair and place them on empty desk space before logging back in. I did the only thing I could think appropriate: put my pink flamingo on the corner of my cubicle wall, facing the walkway, so it could watch everybody go by. Over the course of the next 9 hours, I watched as the rest of the Beanie Babies slowly made their ways to the top of everyone else's cubicle walls. Now everybody in IT (or at least the programmer area) have little animals that the rest of the company tries to ignore every time they come to our cubes. I should awkwardly stand next to it, grinning and pointing, and just say, "Flamingo." kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Look down, look down...

Coworker 2: "Yeah?" Coworker 1: "I asked her, 'Can I have some warmer weather, please?'" Coworker 2: "Ah." Coworker 1: "And she's like, 'What?'" Coworker 2: "Okay?" Coworker 1: "So I ask her again, 'Can I have some warmer weather?' And then she just laughs, and says, 'Okay, sir, have a nice day.'" Coworker 2: "Some people can roll with the punches... some not." Coworker 1: "I guess." (walks off, then, speaking to Coworker 3) "So, at the McDonald's drive through..." kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Look down, look down...
