Hopefully funny story about work...

See, we have this copier and this copier is a piece of junk. It jams, it eats paper, it doesn't scan, it prints all black when it should do all white. It does all white when it should do all black.

Err, in short, a piece of junk.

Right, so my boss finally gets tired of putting up with this shitty copier and demands a replacement. The copier company, instead of sending a replacement, sends out two very large middle-aged men with plumber pants.

With lines like the following, how is any sane rational person not supposed to see teh gay?

First Copier Guy (FCG): If we just crack this sucker right here, we can get in the hole and I'll stick my driver in.
Second Copier Guy (SCG): Right, well, let me oil that hole up first and then, oh wait, I need to rub that spot first.
FCG: But I have my driver *waves screw driver lewdly* all ready, let's just go for it.
SCG: Maybe that's why it's broken, you didn't oil it up first.
FCG: You don't need to oil that part. The glide will be too loose if you do that.
SCG: But the glide's too tight now.
FCG: Fine, then put some oil on it but don't lube it too much.
SCG: *looks around in bag* *looks around on desk* *pats pockets* I don't have any oil.
FCG: You're the one wanting to lube this piece and you don't have any oil? Then, we'll have to go back to the shop. Besides, I need more parts, we don't have enough parts for this.
SCG: Fine, we'll go back to the office *notices me biting my lip and trying not to laugh out loud* We'll be back, we just need some lube and another glide.
Me: *sporfles* Yeah, you never know when you'll need some lube to help your glide.
FCG: *goggles*
SCG: *skulks out of office, tugging FCG with him*
FCG: *tugs at pants to try to cover ass crack before leaving with one last confused look at me*
Boss: Did you really just say that?
Me: Yep *grins*
Boss: You're odd.
Me: Yep *grins*


Anyone else SUPER EXCITED for the reveal at merry_smutmas? I have my guesses and OMG I really hope I'm right. I keep refreshing my flist to see it pop up... I plan on closing my door before clicking on it though... don't want my boss to think I'm any more crazy when I squee at how right I am *nods*. I won't ask what one you all think I wrote as, well, honestly? I fail at anon and I'm fairly certain everyone knows what one I wrote.

ETA: I was quite right on all the ones I had guesses for. How many of you all guessed it was me for my fic?

How are all of you? Anything fun/exciting/frustrating/rant-worthy/sporfle-inducing/whatevah happen to you lately? Read any good books? Seen any good movies? *mental note - make post about first movie of the resolutions*

LOL! That is too funny.

And, yes, I'm very excited about the reveal. I've been obsessively refreshing my Friends page all afternoon waiting for it to be posted.

I have a couple of guesses about authors, but I'll be really surprised if any of them are right.

Hehehe, it's stories like this that almost make me sorry I work at home. Office humor is usually the funniest kind. ;-)

I feel sorry for your poor, abused F5 key! The reveal won't actually go up until some time this evening, though. I have a work deadline and can't get to it until later in the day.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I have a few that I think I might be right about and then, since I beta'd a few, I know which ones those are (duh).

I'm pants at guessing though.

OOOOHHHH - and your card came last night!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! *loves*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

They're back so I'm waiting for more, quite honestly. They just said something about comparing sizes of their parts and one of them just said "mine's smaller than yours".

I shall give my f5 a break then *grins*. The poor thing flinched the last time I looked at it.

[drusillas-rain.livejournal.com]

ahahaha...

[waterbird.livejournal.com]

A work deadline? You mean you don't just do Smutmas full-time?! LOL.

Really looking forward to it ... maybe I'll set my alarm clock for sometime in the middle of the night (since I'm on GMT) just to check ... then again, I don't think I'll be able to sleep at all because the suspense is killing me DED!(No pressure, though. Really. It's my own fault for living in the wrong time zone!) |

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this!

Wow, that took a long time. Things do just shut down completely over here at the holidays.

At least it's on time for Twelfth Night/Epiphany.

LMAO. That is too too funny. I'll get back to you on the movie/book when i think of one. ;)

[orange-bastard.livejournal.com]

OMG that is HILARIOUS!!!! That just made my day ♥

[oconel]

Hahahaha, that conversation is too much!!!!

[archon-mentha.livejournal.com]

*closes door and cracks up*

Very excited, yes - though I don't have any guesses. :)

*Snorfle* XD

I can't imagine how anyone could miss what they were saying with all of that innuendo!

[icyaurora8.livejournal.com]

i was just laughing my ass off. between the gay thing, your smart ass comments :-) and an evil copier, i was hysterical.

i SOOO wish things like that happened to me when we try to get our copier fixed.

[incapricious.livejournal.com]

You said that??? HA!

And thanks for IMing me bits of that while I was at work so I had to stifle giggles. ... No really, thanks. I was so bored today. :(

So excited about the reveal. I feel like we need a reveal party, and we can all dress up and then gmth will get up on stage and announce who wrote what and everyone can cheer and clap. And then we'll have a huge fandom orgy dance party.

I read Bee Season which came out like 6+ years ago so maybe you've already read it. It was beautifully written. Seriously, a few times when I was reading it I just had to stop to catch my breath 'cause some of her sentences were so amazing.
