The Story of My (AND YOUR) Unproductive But Adorable Office Companions

Every now and then, my cat Kitten will come with me to work.It started as just a "keep her busy while the contractors are working" thing, but now she seems to genuinely enjoy getting out of the house and seeing new people.  Of course, she's....not a great co-worker, though.

She's the type to sleep all day and not even help you with that TPS report.  I mean, look at this.

Redonkulous, am I right?  There she is, hiding in a cat bed under my desk.  Did she even take a transmitter reading today?  I bet she didn't extend any of the dates on the Football spots.  Useless.

Anyway, clearly I'm kidding, and you guys like to come along with me on those little tangents.  I posed the prompt to you the other day in the Purple Box, and you guys totally went for it.

My co-worker is currently licking my shoes under my desk.  What about yours?

Stole part of my breakfast, ran and hid under the desk, and is now currently sleeping on the floor.

Naturally.  I mean, after the new kid in sales steals your breakfast, he's always hiding under the desk.

Threw up in the hall AND THEN LEFT THAT FOR ME.

Funnily enough, nobody has thrown up for me at work.  That I know of.

Lisa S. N
Took her medicine and got a treat

I mean, sure, we get treats.  But they're never, you know, free.

My coworker s**t outside in the grass

OKAY STORY TIME.  So way back when, I was working here and hadn't been here long.  It was around the time of year that the State Fair is here.  So the receptionist/office manager at the time found some.... disturbing stuff around the back and a couple of ID's.  She asked me if I knew them, and I said no.

But apparently random dudes had gone behind the station, drunk a bunch of drinks, left their poo on the grass, and also somehow left their wallets/ID behind.  So, it wasn't a co-worker, but.... Dee did still think I knew those dudes.  I didn't, still don't, I swear!

Patti H
She was running around being wild and crazy. Makes me laugh

I mean, most of us here at stations aren't big runners.  So maybe your co-worker was trying to encourage us to be more active? Or maybe she was auditioning for the Sports Team?  I don't know, you'll have to talk to Ty and Dom about that.  Although I bet having a dog in the booth would be.... interesting.

Filled her mouth with water and then came and spit it on my foot.

How do I know this was a cat?  Because I own a cat.  I swear, Kitten has, on MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, come from the kitchen all the way into the living room just to... seemingly drool on me.

Taralyn C
Broke the blinds in my daughter's room looking for a way outside after I left a window open earlier this week and they did get out of it so they thought I was dumb enough to leave it open again.

I mean, how many times I gotta tell corporate about the sales people and their attempts to escape?

Patricia L K
Rubbed up against my leg.

See, now this one... this one is inappropriate.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to report your co-worker to corporate. That sounds like.....pawrassment.

My coworker climbed in bed with my husband this morning

Seriously, you should probably talk to HR about that.

Janie A
My coworker crawled up on my lap, and went to sleep.

I bet a nap could be accommodated, but.... in the lap?  Nope.   You're getting a write up, bud.

Kassandre K
Slept on the break room couch.

I mean, our conference room couches are pretty great.  Nobody minds if you have a nap in there.

Cory J
Lick my other co workers behind lol

So clearly we're talking about dogs here.  Not that I'm saying dogs lick butts all the time, but.... yeah.  Dogs do lick butts all the time.

So what about you? What is your "co-worker" doing right now?

At least ONE of you is working on your SEO pack.  I'll have to remember to nominate Figgy for Employee of the Month.

Employingly yours,
