Conversations that make you wonder...

...where the cameras are located.

I had this conversation yesterday with a new hire at work.

She: It says in the email that they are looking for a "notary public." What's that?

Me: A notary is an official witness to signatures, usually signatures on contracts. A notary's stamp and seal indicate the contract is legal and the signature wasn't forged.

She: Am I one?

Me: I don't know. Have you taken the class?

She: Well, I've taken some college courses and I can be a witness to someone signing a piece of paper. Should I email her back and tell her that I can be a notary public?

Me: No. No. I don't think so.

Alrighty then.

Um, I'm guessing that if your boss is up to scratch, said new hire won't last very long.

Totally clueless...

Um, she's there at his insistence. *cough* *cough* *flavor of the month* *cough*

At least she spelled 'public' correctly...

Indeed.

Yeshanu said:

Here's hoping that next month, he tries a different flavour. Maybe one with a brain cell or two...

Until then, have fun at work, Carol. Try sending her on a quest for a left-handed screwdriver or something like that.

She's nicer than some of the others. It's worse when they're clueless and mean-spirited.

Wow. I hope that strain of ditzy isn't catching.

What? Gosh, what?

I'm moving my office into the clean room on Monday.

It's the only safe thing to do.

It was too cold in the clean room, so I decided to go with the hazmat suit and matching pumps.

Matchy-matchy is no longer the way to go. Nina Garcia will complain about you and then Heidi Klum will say "auf weidersehen."

Fine, tomorrow I wear the bunny slippers. Surely, Heidi and Nina will stand in awe of my boldness.

Is she capable of being trained for the job? If so, it's a double winner--functional colleague but with entertainment value.

I'm not convinced yet. Yesterday she asked me how to make her phone stop ringing.

She thinks I'm a genius. I fixed the copy machine by putting paper in it.
