I walk into work last week and the principal comes up to me and says, “Come see me in my office when you get the chance, I have .... haha .... a surprise for you ... [eyebrows raise]... hehe...” and then walks away chuckling.

It was a t-shirt.

ENDO my time on earth pls

So the past year at my little post-grad gig, I've been working on a little project off and on of a building reno called MRMC Endo. But this week, this happens: Boss: I need the dimensions, the project is changing from Endo to Surgery. Me: okay...been meaning to ask....what does Endo even mean anyway? Boss: Endoscopy. Me: ohh...okay. Boss: Y'know ENDO one end and out the other?

you know when you reach that point in a semester where you just want loud music playing around you so that you can scream without scaring people

Overheard one sided phone conversation in my office:

“Hello John”

“Wait, are you talking about ______?”

“John, I’m not working on that project would you like me to transfer you to Travis, who is working on this project?”

“I don’t know where the pipes from that grease trap go. I’m not working on the project.”

“That is odd that they are going into a storage room.”

“I don’t know why they are.”

“Yes, I know that plumbing is your scope and you need to know about where all the pipes go.”

“I don’t know which owner rep you are working with. I am not working on this project.”

“Would you like to speak to Travis?”

“No, John I don’t know anything about this project. I have not been assigned this project.”

“I don’t have the as-built drawings, Travis does.”

“Would you like me to send the team that is working on this project an email about the grease trap?”

“Ok, I’ll send an email. Ok, have a nice day John.”

“Traaaavis! He’s done it again!”

Bedtime?

* students start taping chairs together to form beds, sleeping bags are rolled out, stress increase *

When we look for the deeper meaning, we see that the role of the pizza plate is to isolate the pizza.

Someone's final review for an installation.

“Your composition kind of looks like the space ship from chicken little”
