chaobell..."your mom" jokes aside, I feel that today merits a post just for the sheer weirdness.
Our door here at work...blew off the hinges. You're reading that right. Well, it's not so much hinges as bolts, but you get the idea. It was knocked off its proper position.
Some customers came in; before they could ask me for a part, it happened. Scared the hell out of me and embarrassed the customers, who thought it was their fault. So, I decided I was not touching that door lest I fuck it up even more. I went back to check and see if we had the part they wanted, and when I returned, those two kind gentlemen were trying to fix the door for me. They were not successful, unfortunately.
So then, because I knew of nothing else to do, I called Bosses.
Boss #2 picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"It's Sarah. We have...an emergency."
"What happened?"
"The door blew off the hinges."
"... ... ...okay!"
They would come survey the damage. Meanwhile, not knowing what the hell else to do since the door was too heavy for me to drag by myself, I got a few lengths of CAT-5 and tied the door to as many immovable objects as I could reach, so that it did not blow over and bean someone in the head, someone who would later sue the shit out of us.
A little while later, we had Boss #1 and #2 trying without much success to fix the door.
Eventually, they gave up and called the door man, who properly fixed the door.
