I am Not Kidding

Email circulated at work today:

"Good Afternoon,

If you lost a nickel between the men and women’s restroom, please stop by the front desk. Thanks."

People, I went to the office manager to talk shit about this and was informed that she is the finder of the lost nickel, and gave the order to distribute the email.

In other news, I am $0.05 richer now.

Good god. HA! I just don't even know what to say about that one. Don't we just throw nickels away now (just like the penny)?

Last Thursday I would have been all over that nickel due to a Diet Coke craving and no change.

What if more than one person claimed the nickel? Would they have had to describe it? Like when you have to claim your watch at lost & found? Too funny.

Awesome. That same scenario could occur in my office too. Really, people. It's $0.05!

Hilarious. If you are feeling particularly maniacal tomorrow, you should drop change and other small things in random places and see if it generates any more emails being sent to the entire office. AMuhahahaaa.

I lost a paperclip once. Maybe your office manager can put out an APB?

The admin to our President is always sending emails like that and it's become the office joke. She just recently started sending emails saying "if you've seen Brian Jones, please have him call me" Our company is over 1400 people in three offices. Honestly.

In other news, I finally got on Ravelry and saw you listed as a designer. You go girl.

That pains me - and reminds me of my workplace.

unreal. that is hilarious. I'm with whoever said you should drop something else random in the same spot at work tomorrow and see what happens. a little random ball of leftover yarn. would they just toss it? or advertise for the owner? let us know!
