In May of 1988, I had my diploma in hand and my eyes were filled with starry eyed ambition. I had just graduated from college – the first time – and I had a great job lined up. I was ready to face challenges and change the world. Looking back at my first day of teaching and all the subsequent days in between, there are phrases I hear myself say that I never EVER expected I would ever need to say at work.Β This is another edition of the Edmonton Tourist’s Top 11.
I would like to dedicate this blog to Barbie Arm.

How was your day?
I have a name tag that we made today at work. We make labels AKA stickers….we had a “hot” label that was in the shape of fire and pancakes…Long story shorts “HELLO My name is ‘hot cakes’…” OH only graphics… π something must be in the air….or yeah….
What kind place do you work in?!?!?! LMAO π
My family business! π Graphics personal/employees live in the cave…its always dark and full of loud noises… π Truly…how do people get bored at work???? LOL
OMG! I’m crying! The best part is, I can visualize you saying each and every one….heehee Top lists are awesome! Thanks for the giggles!
It’s funny ’cause it’s true π
LOL!!! Put your penis away? Probably lots of men that have heard that comment as well. Too funny!
Clearly it starts early. Whatsupwith boys always checking to see if their little fella is still there? lol
#7- Never have I ever said this phrase in my life… until I had a son…who discovered his man parts.
hahaha boys are awesome π
Bet it’s hard to say # 7 with a straight face huh? Great post!
Funnily enough…I can say it with my “angry eyes” now lol
This had me in tears…. in fact, i stopped the office and read it out to all of them. I was laughing so much that they probably didnt even hear half of it.
Recently, my knight was in the bathroom, door closed, showering. Logan came into the bedroom to chat to me…. and my man came out of teh bathroom dressed. Jess (the puppy) had been in the bathroom with him and Logan’s first comment….”Jess is a girl. She cant see your penis.” He stood there with a mouth full of teeth. I canned myself.

LOL – hilarious! At least your job keeps things interesting!! My fave was the last one π
Mine too! Sometimes I shake my head at the things I hear myself saying out of necessity π
