Funny thing happened at work!!

[peterh6308]

I got a phone call yesterday afternoon from a friend from high school. He was probably the 2nd or 3rd guy I ever messed around with, and I was for sure his 1st. Well I haven't seen or talked to him in about 30 yrs or so. As we're chatting about whats been happening in our lives he asked me what I did for a living. Well I work at a grocery co-op that has a membership only shopping and 90% of all our food we sell is Organic. So our customers pay extra for this type of food. Well our store happens to be in the town north of Seattle where this guy lives and he's a member. He says "I've never seen you there" and I told him I work as a supervisor on the graveyard shift. So anyway, last night my janitor called in sick and the 3 employees working in the grocery dept don't know how to use the floor machines or buffers. Now along with the 3 guys in grocery and the 5 people working in the bakery and the 4 people working in the deli I am in charge of everyone and I'm the only one that knows how to use the machines. No biggy I'll do the floors!!! I took my buttoned shirt off and proceeded to do the floors in my t-shirt. Well I unlocked the store this morning at 6am and walked around to make sure all depts were ready for the day. I continued finishing up the floors when I get a tap on the shoulder and guess who? His first question was "I thought you were the boss" mind you I'm in a t-shirt doing the janitorial job!!!lol I just said my guy called out sick, and he said " oh ". Anyway he left and I went to talk with my crew and their cracking up at me. I'm like what? One guy says " dude he thinks your the janitor" lol Anyway I thought this was pretty funny. Happy new Year to me

That's funny stuff Peter! I suppose that's an indication of how "versatile" you must truly be! As a boss, you've got to know how to perform all of the rolls too! ( or positions) lol!

That's too funny Peter. And indeed how many people out there will totally lie about their position at work to try to impress someone? lol

you can't always believe what you think you see. well you don't you many bosses cleaning floors, so clearly, the guy cleaning the floors is not the boss. it's good that you had the ability to fill in and get the job done. other duties as assigned or required.
funny I was thinking 'the guy washing feet is the pope!?'.
