"No, you can't eat your salsa and chips in the quiet study room."
"No, you can't look at porn on the word processors. Nope, not that one either. I don't care if it's research. Just.... no. Yes, I'm in charge, and....no."
"No, it's not okay to drop sunflower seed shells on the floor. No, it's no better to put them in the pencil cups."
"Sorry, you won't have time to print your airline ticket - the printer and computers shut down in less than a minute."
"Yes, the computers are working the same as they always have - I don't know that the heck you did to it. Probably hitting cancel 3 times didn't help."
"No, I'm not being mean when I ask your child to stop climbing on the shelves. You should be the one doing that, really."
"No, I won't loan you $5 to print off your myspace pictures. "
"No, we don't know where your son went after you dropped him off. We haven't seen him since, and he didn't tell US where he was going. No, that's not my responsibility."
"Sorry, we close at nine. We can't wait for you until 9:30 to pick up your hold that came in a week ago. "
"Well, if you want us to print off the whole tax instruction booklet it'll cost you ten cents a page. That would be....19.50. Thank you for blessing me with a crown of stars when I reach Heaven, but you still have to pay for your prints. "
"Oops - if you want to take a bath you can't do it here. Sorry."
One of my other co-workers would assume this was all the work of Zombies...but we haven't seen any. Or any we didn't recognize, at least. Which brings to mind a new research question....does Lutefisk ward off Zombies?? It sure scares everything else away! I'll use ELM to track my research...maybe do a podcast! :-)
On the other hand, our Children's advocate group left us cake. It's in the back room, so we can eat it THERE. Zombies and werewolves aren't allowed, so we don't have to share. We're really ready to go home.

Interesting stuff here! I want to know what inspired the line about not being able to take a bath...
Hee! Hee! I enjoyed reading your post almost as much as I enjoyed not being anywhere near any of the customers or events you describe.
