Sticker


We have these stickers at work to stick on boxes or broken chairs and the like so they get hauled away by the janitorial staff :

It’s such a pretty green, and so direct, and every time I see that roll of stickers I want to stick one on my lapel to get a laugh. 

Thursday I took one.

No one was here who would have laughed at it, so I stuck it for safekeeping on the sticky gray section of my whiteboard:

Board

That’s not my actual whiteboard above.

I came in Friday and my whiteboard was gone.

(And, if it took you a moment to figure out why,  let me know — because it took me ten minutes.)

  1. Awww. Hopefully there wasn’t anything you’ll miss on your board. That’s a bummer, but I guess you asked for it.

  2. That’s hilarious. I mean, a little sad, but also, really really funny. Also, I kind of envy your cleaning service. The chair in my classroom has been broken for 2 years and if I sit down at all to one side, the whole top seat part falls off. Which is embarrassing and often rather uncomfortable.It would be a great lapel badge too. I kind of want one.

  3. At Unnamed Co., we’ve given up hope that the cleaning service will actually vacuum. One of the admins did a Bablefish translation of “Please vacuum this area”. We are careful not to overuse it.Er, with the next sticker, you might want to turn it face-down on the board. But if you’re like me, then you’ll never remember where it is and go around saying, what did I do with that damn basura thing?

  4. Erin – Thankfully, it was the ONLY thing on my board. Lucky it was on my desk.Overflowing Brain – Or a t-shirtBecs – Oh, sure, NOW you tell me.Caroline – You have been spending so much time with HotMom you sound just like her.Friend #8 – You sound like you.
