BLADAM - Entry - [Overheard] - “How do I get balls?”

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal blog. The blatherings here aren't (necessarily) the views of the current company I work for, companies I've previously blessed with my presence, my loving parents, the Illuminati, or anyone other than me, me, me!

[Overheard] - “How do I get balls?”

Officemate: So I got everything all set for the event. Computers, powerstrips, food. Only thing I forgot was chairs! [smacking forehead]
Me: Why don’t you use these instead? [pointing to one of the inflatable balls we have in our office for sitting on]
Officemate: [looking intrigued, yet uncertain] Hmm! How do I get balls?!
Me: [incredulous pause, then uncontrolled laughter]

Luckily my officemates have a good sense of humor

Comment from Marlene [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Oh that really was funny! I think it’s great that y’all have a sense of humor! How red did his/her face turn? - Posted on Thursday, May 7, 2009 at 5:47 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Paige [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	What a riot! I love hearing about stories like this! - Posted on Friday, May 8, 2009 at 13:27 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Glad you were amused, Marlene and Paige! And my officemate (a guy) was actually pretty unfazed - Posted on Monday, May 11, 2009 at 21:45 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Heh, APfB, I can’t help but think it’d be entertaining working for one of the companies that makes these balls. Either that, or perhaps they have a clause in their employment contract: “NOTE: Immature jokes about balls have gotten old here years ago. Any ball-related humor is punishable by termination…” - Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 14:46 [ Permalink to this comment ]
