Highlights from the past week

1)Maria: God, I love the way this hand sanitizer smells.....Smells like alcohol."

2) Trixie: "That would be hard for me. I get the days of the week wrong."

3) Trixie: "Guys are lucky. You never know if they're wearing the same pants five days in a row or not."

4) Trixie, serious as can be: "The first time I got a leg cramp, I was swimming in high school and I thought I'd broken my leg."

Hmm.... broken leg

vs. leg cramp
Easy to see how the two could be
confused. :)
5) Last but certainly not least....
Suzie, from time to time, likes to brag about how she worked for HEB, a grocery store chain whose headquarters is in San Antonio. http://www.heb.com/aboutHEB/history.jsp
She had just gotten done talking about how wonderful it was to work in HEB's office, though I'm not sure what she actually did for them or why she's no longer working there since it was just heaven on earth, when Trixie asks if HEB stands for "Here Everything's Better," which has been the store slogan for awhile. Suzie promptly replies, "Oh yes."
The group lets that marinate for a minute and finally Sheila, another cubicle-monkey who is generally too articulate to be mentioned speaks up, "Ummm no. Doesn't it stand for H.E. Butt, the man who started the store?"
Suzie, "Oh, that's right."
The voices in my head: "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."
