Some Things at Work You Don't even Want to Ask About...
or more importantly, get asked about.
Like today. When the overstuffed interdepartmental envelope I was carrying dropped and burst open, I discovered that it happened to be filled with a large number of foil packets. A (u)lot(/u) of square, flat, foil packets. I did a classic double take, and checked: sealed foil packet-check. Round circle inside, check.
Yep- someone was using interdepartmental mail to send a envelope stuffed with a hundred or more condoms. I guess someone was anticipating a very Merry Christmas indeed.
Fortunately nobody was walking by at that time, so I scooped it up, and hurried to my desk to do a quick taping job. Even more fortunately, nobody walked by when I was hurriedly trying to tape the thing together, and condoms were spilling across my desk. And so I sent the package on it's merry way.
Bizarrely enough, given the destination, I can kind of figure out why that department needed a huge bunch of condoms. But I really wish they were a bit more careful. I mean, someone could have walked by and seen them, and then I would have ended up sharing with the whole office.
