These are the people in my neighborhood
Hooo boy! I have to shake my head at some of the people I work with. I would like to think that we're a fairly intellectual bunch, but I've seen signs recently that while there may be quite a few "school smart" people in this building, there are a few folks who are socially retarded.
About a month ago in the cafeteria I was putting 2 pieces of whole wheat bread into the industrial toaster when one of the staff propped a sign up next to it. Naturally curious I read it, and was taken aback to see it said "Due to fire hazard, please do not put buttered bread into the toaster". I inquired as to why such a sign could be required when it seems very intuitive that you do not butter your bread until after it has been toasted. A half-hearted smile was offered my way by said cafeteria worker who explained it HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, and thus the sign seemed to be required....sigh...
Today in the lounge I was getting a glass of water and noticed a new sign next to the coffee mug washer. First of all, for those who don't know what a coffee washer is, it's like a mini dishwasher for mugs...Anyway...today there is a sign above the machine asking people not to wash their food in there anymore. What the f*&$?! This thing sprays industrial strength soap at high velocity into coffee mugs...what would make anyone believe it's a safe, natural way to wash food? What kind of people don't know this stuff? Am I going to go into the ladies room some day and see signs saying "please don't wash hands in toilet?.
This troubles me.

It's OK Kelly. All my pregnant friends always complain about things like this at the 2 month stage. Luckily, you'll start getting this really healthy glow soon and forget all about it.
You should see the signs in the mens' room: "the chalk was not provided to mark distance" and "toiler paper should not be reused".

I. Am. Not. Pregnant.
And I thank you not to refer to my vacation weight-gain as having any child-bearing resemblances ;-)

Toasting the bread with a light spreading of butter makes for a nice golden texture similar to say Grill Cheese Sandwich.
Kelly, we doth think you protest(eth?) too mucheth.
Let's look at the facts.
1) I don't take crap from any man attitude. Ok, this isn't new.
2) The new "soccer mom" haircut.
3) The gleam in Andrew's eye says it all.
P.S. I'm too much of a gentleman to comment on any supposed wait gain, or even admit that I have before and after pictures on my computer to compare. They're purely platonic. Honest!
Not Patrick.
Someone from this list is going to have to call my mom and break the news that we are not having a baby. She's called me all excited and I could't break her heart.
Poor Kelly, always getting picked on. I am just glad you have decided to pop one out to take the grandkid stress off your sister and her amazingly good-looking husband. Thanks for taking one for the team Kel.
