Two work oddities

[geminigirl]

Work Oddity the first:

We do that whole Holiday Ornament thing you've probably heard me talk about here before at work. It happens in November/December. The person in charge of ornaments was showing this year's ornament to me yesterday, and all I'm thinking is "I'm not going to be here to do this." Wow.

Work Oddity the second:

I have a large flip chart book type thing about STDs in my office. It's probably 18x24 or so. I use it sometimes when teaching. It lives leaned up against the filing cabinet behid my desk. Closed. (Because it just wouldn't be appropriate for people to come into my office and see pictures of naked people first thing.) Not too far in, there's a page that includes a rather clinical looking drawing of a naked woman, and next to her, an equally clinical drawing of a naked man. Periodically, I'll come into my office in the morning, and someone will have opened the flip chart to the naked people page.

We have our computers password protected at work because we had problems with one of the custodians using them when the department was closed. People used to find the most amazing things on their computers of the morning. A particularly agravating low point was when a computer, that had been setting in an unused cubical, was sent over to another department and it had "Sexy Lolitas" installed on it. Couldn't prove anything, but we keep an eye out for that particular custodian.
