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"

"It looks tent like..."

She is at it with the phone calls again!

Phone call to the Dentist
"Yes, I went to the movies with my 19 year old granddaughter. She is one of your patients. Anyways, she has braces and during the movie she picked the skin on the inside of her mouth at least two dozen times that I counted. And I argue with her about it all the time and I just want you to put a note in the file that the Doctor needs to look at her mouth and make sure there is nothing wrong like cancer or something and it is just a bad habit that she has."

I have personally never experienced braces, but I gather that the metal would cut the insides of your mouth and it makes perfect sense to me to want to get the peeling skin outta there?
p.s. Please note the poor child is 19 years old!

Phone call to the Foot Doctor
"Hi, I have been there before a number of years back and I had surgery on one of my toes. Well now my right big toe nail has something wrong with it. It looks tent like instead of flat like it is supposed to be. I guess I want to come in and have the doctor look at it."

Not, "it has pushed upwards in the center" but, "It looks tent like" bahahahah

It's not because I think your poor......

I know you were all upset yesterday because we didn't post, but Granny was "OUT OF OFFICE ALL DAY" -per her calender post

As for today, it is only 10:00am and boy do we have a story for you!

Granny-"Okay, please don't take offense if I ever offer you anything. It is not because I think you are poor and can't afford it. I grew up poor and therefore I can't throw anything in the garbage. I take it to Goodwill if anything. Anyways my daughter gave me this stuff so I thought I might bring it to see if yall would need it.

1. This is a 400 count very soft sheet for a queen bed. It is used. My granddaughter is still using the bottom half, but she didn't want the top part anymore.

2. I have this blue queen bed duster. It is new.

3. I have this pink bed duster. It is used, but its still usable!"

2 minutes intermission

"Oh and would one of your significant others need a pair of sunglasses? These have stretched out so much that the don't fit my face. But a man's face is bigger and they would probably fit one of them."



Until later

Flowers anyone?



Huge pink flowers can dress up any vehicle!
and that is only one side

Symbol of Gratitude


Today we received a note addressed to us both:

"Because you both are so quick to jump up and help me, I thought you might like to have this symbol of gratitude"

In addition to our note, we received a [used] ty beanie frog [to share]. We decided to name him gorF. (It's Frog backwards...just in case you wondered)

The clock is wrong...


One day, Meredith, the receptionist of the office, was busy creating seminar packets and her desk was cluttered with mounds of paperwork. Amongst the massive piles she found a sticky note that read:

"Meredith,
According to my Rolex, the clock in your office is wrong. It is five minutes slow.
Please fix the clock or replace the batteries. Thanks."


Until next time-

Conversations to date....

Granny-"Where do I go if I want to type something?"
Answer-"ummm...double click on Word?"
5 minutes later
Granny-"I don't have Word on my computer. Could it be Microsoft Office Word?"
Answer-"Yes...Word is the same thing Microsoft Office Word. It is just easier to say 'Word' than Microsoft Office Word."
Granny-"What does double click mean?"
Demonstration of double click


Granny-"How do I delete something if I don't want it there anymore?"
Answer-"THE BACKSPACE KEY!" Or if ya really wanna get fancy highlight it and hit "delete" who knew?


Granny-"Why do I have to keep logging into yahoo over and over for my e-mail?"
Answer-"1. Yahoo is not your email, Outlook is your e-mail, yahoo is your calender. 2. If you "X" out of it...you have to log back in...just minimize it to the bottom of your screen"


Granny-"I can't get this to work...I can't click because it is not 'a hand'"
Answer-"It is not always going to be 'a hand' when you go to click a link...sometimes it is going to stay an arrow...that is okay."


Granny-"How come when I edit something it keeps saving the new one and the wrong stuff?"
Answer-[as explained for the third plus time]"Because you are clicking SAVE AS it will continue to save the old stuff and the new stuff..if you want the wrong stuff to go away and be replaced by the new stuff you have to just SAVE over the old stuff!


Let's catch you up to speed

Okay...so first you need to be brought up to speed on the situation! For some unknown reason the attorney we work for decided to hire a 74 year old [non-practicing] attorney. Since she has never practiced law...she had no idea that computers existed or what a computer even was. Luckily for us [feel the sarcasm] she moved into the office right across the hall! [Which just so happened to be Tired's office...she was kicked out and now shares an office with Sick] So day in and day out Sick & Tired spend more time in Granny's office teaching her about "the computer" than they spend in their own! Since we get so much enjoyment out of our jobs here at the office we decided it was time to share it with the world. YAY!
