I've told you before about how the Communication Manager, Lisa*, at my office always says things wrong. Let me tell you a conversation that occurred yesterday:
Lisa walks in on a meeting my boss and I were having and said, "I feel so frazzered today."
(Translation: "I feel so frazzled today.")
When she was corrected, she said, "Oh. Huh... I've always thought it was frazzered. Oh well."
We chuckle.
Then she says, "I don't know what the deal is; I just can't seem to get my work on."
(Translation: "I can't seem to focus.")
Boss laughs and says: "That's not something I want to hear."
Lisa: "Oh, don't act like you've never been flazzered." She looks at me. "Did i say it right?"
We laugh and correct her as she walks off.
As she's walking off she says, "What does that really mean anyway?"
*to protect her privacy, the name has been changed. ;)

Mark & I are laughing so hard right now. I REALLY wish 'Lisa' worked in MY office.
oh my.
this sounds like a scene from The Office. Michael would be *Lisa, and you could be Pam.
Ok, a co-worker and I just read this (and your previous blog about "Lisa") and just about rolled off our chairs laughing. Although it's quite funny... it's a bit scary too!
Found your blog through Cathi and Courtney's (they're old friends from high school and my days at Saddleback). I just love your entries... so enjoyable to read! It doesn't hurt that you have a fabulous name too. ;)
