Another phone call...

Granny is part of a Big/Little Sister/Brother program and she apparently has been tutoring a young girl since she was in 4th grade. The girl made the mistake of commenting that she was possibly eligible for a P.E. award at school. Well the girl did not receive the award and so Granny thought she would find out why. First she calls the school...

Granny--"Hi, I am part of the Big Sister Little Sister program and I have been tutoring a child since she was in 4th grade and she told me that she thought she had met the criteria for a P.E. Award, I think it was the President's award, but I am not sure. Anyways, I seen her a few days after the awards ceremony, I think it was last Thursday, and I asked to see her award and she told me she didn't get it. I just want to know why she didn't get the award."**

[Other person answers]

"Well, is there someone else I can talk to? Maybe like the head of the athletic department or someone in the p.e. department? I just want to talk to someone and find out why this little girl didn't get her award that she thinks she earned."

[other person transfers her and she apparently gets a voice mail]

**Repeat of the entire story on a voicemail.

Then apparently she gets cut off because she calls back again...

"Hi,I hope this is Ms._____ because you didn't identify yourself on your voice mail, anyways, This is Barbara again, I was just leaving a voice mail and I got cut off and I tried to chose option 8 to continue to leave the message but it didn't work so I just had to call back anyways I am part of the big sister little sister program and I tutor.....**[she continued to leave the entire story on the voice mail again]

.:.:She will probably never realize that the reason why people never return her calls is because they probably die half way through listening to the lifelong message that she leaves and they are rotting in a casket before she ever gets to the phone number part:.:.

WTF? Where is my soup?

So, for some reason, Granny finds it to be her responsibility to clean out the office fridge. She spent 2 days asking people around the office who the "plastic, sealed container with noddle looking soup" belonged to. Of course, we all played dumb and said we didn't know. [The soup was Samm's from a few weeks ago] She asked everyone except for Meredith. Today she decided that the soup had been in the fridge long enough and it was necessary to throw it away. Around lunchtime we had Meredith dig through the fridge as if she were looking for something.

After a few seconds, Granny goes "Oh, I hope you aren't looking for that soup."
Meredith- "Yes, actually, that is my lunch."
Granny-"Oh dear, well it has been in there for a few weeks and I threw it in the trash about 45 minutes ago..hang on...I just sat it in the trash can."
[Granny digs through the trash] "Here it is, it was just sitting on top and it is in a plastic closed container, its okay, I promise, here its still cold even."
Meredith-"umm, no it's okay. It has been in the trash. I'll eat something else."

So, then Meredith went out to get lunch (as she had planned to do all along) and Granny came in to my office to discuss the matter with Samm and I.

Granny-"Girls, let me get your opinion on this matter. I threw Meredith's soup away, but it had been in there for weeks. I figured if someone ate it they would get sick!" (Coming from the woman who ate yogurt left in the fridge from the old secretary. She has been gone from the office for over a year now) "I just sat it in the trash can and it was still in the container, but she didn't want to eat it"
US-"Yeah, umm, I wouldn't want to eat something that had been in the trash either. Just the thought of it being pulled out of the trash is gross"
Granny-"Oh, okay. Well my grandparents always said, 'you need to eat a peck of dirt in your life'"

Then, she proceeded to tell us that she also found a frozen dinner in the refrigerator part of the fridge and it says "keep frozen" so she circled [in black sharpie] "keep frozen" and drew an arrow to it and put it in the freezer 'where its supposed to be'. Apparently, it never occured to her that maybe someone had planned on eating it soon and wanted to defrost it some before putting it into the microwave. After I brought that idea up to her, she took it out of the freezer and put it back where she found it. lol

Moral of the Story: WTF is she doing going through the OFFICE fridge and removing and organizing everyone else's stuff? Oh and if it doesn't have your name and/or initials on it, it is free game. SHE WILL EAT THE FOOD and ask later, "was that your ______ in the fridge? I accidently ate it. I thought it was mine because I have some______ like it at home"
WTF? Seriously, I have never ACCIDENTLY ATE anything!

New Outfit :)

"Ladies, I have a lovely baby blue golfing shirt..its a barely worn Liz Claiborne shirt and I also have these woman's size 14 shorts, my soon to be 20 y/o granddaughter has out grown them and luckily I have lost enough weight that they don't fit me anymore, but perhaps you can take them? If they don't work for you, you can always give them to some you may know what could possibly fit in them?





I'm too sexy for this shirt
too sexy for this shirt
to0 sexy it hurts.... :)

The call to DanActive....

Granny is at it with the phone calls AGAIN!

"Hi, I just to let you know that I have been trying the DanActive product for a few weeks now. I thought that you should know that it leaves a terrible after taste in my mouth. If I don't eat anything for a few hours, the taste it leaves in my mouth is just awful. I don't remember what kind it was, I'm not at home to look at the label, but it was like blue colored or maybe clear. Anyways, I just wanted you to know that I don't like the bad taste it leaves in my mouth."


Seriously? WHO DOES THAT? If you don't like it, DON'T EAT IT. And how in the world do you confuse blue colored and clear? That is scary.

It's ripped but......

We are so happy to inform you that we now have a complete outfit donated by Granny :)
Her granddaughter tore the second strap of sequins off of the skirt and granny was going to sew it and fix it, but instead if we just wore a long shirt it would cover it up! Awesome!

I'm blue da ba dee da ba da da ba dee

Meredith denied this beautiful jacket....we were never asked if we wanted it. She just suggested that we should keep it here in our office in case we got cold or something.

Samm said she wouldn't be caught dead wearing the jacket.
I begged to differ....

the stapler did what?

Yesterday evening Granny decided she wanted to work late. Renee stayed late with her, but when she wasn't ready to leave she decided to leave Granny alone at the office to lock up. We came in this morning and found the electric stapler [which has never had a problem] and the following note on the front desk.

She also left 15 minutes of voice messages on Grady's phone.
She locked herself in the building and didn't know how to get out.
Needless to say we are under strict orders to
"Never leave her in the office alone ever ever again"
