Conversations on the job...

As most of you know, when I'm not substitute teaching or working on my grad degree I am working in residential counseling with adults that have various forms of intellectual disabilities (formerly known as MR). Many, many, many MANY times I have the best, most hilarious conversations with the clients.

Example... This was last night.

Male client: "Have you ever heard of bj's?"

Me: "Ummm...." with confused look...

Him: "You know, Billy Joe's Picture Show?" (a local karaoke bar)

Me: "I don't think you should call it that."



Omg. I was dying laughing. I needed that laugh!

hahaha my friend used to work at Booster Juice and when we'd ask her what she did last night she'd say, "oh you know, just spent the evening selling BJ's" hahaha. And still to this day I'll text her and be like "want to go for a BJ?" hehe.

That's funny! I love silly work humor. We had a training class the other day for the BM team and I was really, REALLY trying hard not to giggle. I mean, can't you think of a team name that doesn't make such a silly acronym!?
