Walter Fact: Santa always carries a few extra presents.
Speaking of Tweaking - Tweaker of the Week
Speaking of Tweaking, our Tweaker of the week is…Cini, you know what you did.
Jokes aside, a few weeks ago we wrote that deer were our tweaker of the week. Well, guess who’s back? Oh, deer. This time, a deer broke into a New Jersey elementary school. But the best part is that it was caught on the police officers’ body cam as they chased it out of the school.
At around 10 a.m. on November 25, a man walking his dog saw a deer smash through a window and into the school. When officers cornered the deer, which they named Rudolph, it fought back! Yes, the same animal that stares at your car as it barrels toward them at 60mph charged at the officers before escaping into a classroom where it jumped onto a bookshelf.
Police ended up using a dog snare to get it out of the classroom and it escaped the same way it got in. They reported that the deer did not seem to be injured.
Bonus Clip: While I was looking for the clip above I found a clip of a deer, also in a school, slipping on the recently waxed floors.
What’s Walter Thinking About?
I ziptied my manager’s, Dan, chair to his desk. There isn’t a whole lot more to this other than that but he thought it was pretty funny. However, this tale does continue. I used the label printer to print “Dan?” and got my coworker to talk to him and distract him so I could place it on his back. He kept walking around which made it hard and every time he stopped another coworker would go, “Now! Do it now!” I did eventually get it on his back and not even five minutes later another manager got him to go out to lunch.
When they came back the sticker was gone so I said to the other manager, “I take it you told him about the Dan sticker?” and he replied, “Dan sticker?” So I guess that someone behind him in line told him. Later, when I walked by him he told me he was watching me and I said, “I know I shouldn’t make fun of the elderly,” to which another coworker said, “Jesus, are you trying to get fired?” I’m not, Dan just has a good sense of humor. It’s okay, he took a sticky note and stuck it inside my beanie so he got his revenge. Now, every time I walk behind him he checks the back of his shirt.
