Funny/odd stories from your job
I sometimes talk about writing a book about them when I retire. I thought I would start sharing some of them. Please feel free to add your own.
Here goes.
I do maintenance on group homes for developmentally disabled. With what some of the staff do, I sometimes wonder who is taking care of who.
A few years ago, at one of our houses, a couple of birds built a nest on each of the two garage door openers. In the fall, I took the nests down. The next spring, I was doing some work at that house. They always have both garage doors open when I show up… every time. I was in the garage and the program coordinator came out to the garage to talk to me. She then asked, “Hey… do you have any idea how to keep the birds out of the garage”? I turned and looked at both of the big doors that were wide open. I then turned back to her and said, “You could keep the doors shut”. She got this surprised look on her face and said, “That’s a good idea… why didn’t I think of that”. I didn’t say anything, but thought about asking her if she went to one of those colleges that sucks the common sense out of your brain.
That should be good enough to start it out.
