Office scenery

Well, well it has been another humorous day checking out the sights/stories in the office. To start...our inventory control manager here has decided to take casual Friday to the extreme. She is sporting a pair of gray sweatpants, brown leather loafers, and a Ricky Carmichael #4 race car t-shirt. Next is a shipping clerk here, we'll call her Bertha...bear with me on this one. I not only have some fashion news about her, but I have a story. She has decided to interpret the casual Friday dress code by dressing in her Deion Sanders jersey, black and red DSC hat, a pair of black sweatpants, and black military boots. I would have to say this is the ultimate in sexy. And the story... today I have gathered further evidence on my "At What Age is it O.K." post. You know, the one where at what age does it become ok to burp and fart in public. Well I walked into the breakroom about an hour after lunch to fill my water bottle. When I entered I was greeted by the taintest smell that has ever tickled my nose. I covered my nose really quick and looked up to see Bertha in agony. I asked what was wrong, and she informed me that the hot dogs for lunch did not agree with her. She then explained to me that she didn't even eat that much, only three hot dogs with chili and cheese on top. Then she asked me if I had any medicine for GAS. Thoroughly disgusted by the smell I looked at her and told her she needed to go home. So, I like to treat every experience as a lesson in life and I learned a couple today. 1. Don't get around Bertha after free chili dog day. 2. Bertha, 43 years old falls in the age range in which it is ok to fart in public, furthering my hypothesis of 35 years old being the minimum age. 3. Last lesson...My first task in managing someone...send someone home when their lunch doesn't agree with them and they decide to pass gas at the work place b/c technically this is disruption of the workplace, which can get you fired and can not be fought against in an unemployment hearing.
