Pre-Appointment Post
Yes. I have an appointment in a few minutes, so as I finish up my lunch hour, I thought I’d post something.
But what to post. I haven’t stumbled upon anything worth nothing thus far today. Oh, wait, here’s something.
In our office there is a cart that shows up in the lobby everyday about 9-ish with coffee and breakfast item. We creatively refer to it as the “Coffee Cart”.
The coffee Cart arrives thanks to a nearby sheltered workshop that employs folks who are developmentally challenged (that used to mentally retarded, but that term is no longer PC) or folks who have some mental illness to help them develop vocational skills.
This morning, as one gent from the office with a decidedly stunted set of social skills and a sense of humor to match was trying to make snarky conversation about the selection of breakfast sandwiches that he found to be lacking. This is his usual shtick, the breakfast sandwiches are, I am positive, the highlight of his day. Anyway, he chatting up the two workers who are working the cart and I hear said gent say:
“I don’t know. I’m beginning to think there’s something wrong with those folks over there.”
I was boarding the elevator and the door shut before I could interject one of the roughly 4,562 one-line retorts that immediately peppered my brain.
Duh.
