Work Story

Okay, so here is the story about what happened to me at work.

It's the Wednesday before this past one and I drive into the parking lot where I always park. As I'm walking across the street I see a souped up, new Mustang making a U-turn at the end of the street. I don't really think anything about it and continue on my way. I enter the doors and am on my way to the restroom (something I do every morning) but I hear this Ma'am. Now, first of all I hate to be called Ma'am, it makes me feel like my mother!!! So I turn and standing in the foyer is a man who is definitely on something, crazy eyes are looking at me. He asks if a "certain" person is at work, I tell him I don't know that person. He continues to ask, because he knows she works here. I tell him maybe he should check at the front desk, as this is the back way into the hospital. No, he knows she works on this end. So I tell him, "I'm sorry", I don't know anyone by that name, I just park in this lot and go to my department elsewhere in the hospital. He asks me for some paper, so he can write her a "note", I tell him I don't know that person and no, I don't have any paper. He "glares" at me, says nothing, and walks out the door. I continue on my way and when I get to the Pharmacy I tell my co-workers what just happened. Well, you would have to know my co-workers to fully understand just how much they DON'T want to be involved in anything, but they tell me maybe I should get in touch with the person he wanted (not Security, as I suggested). So, I do my morning rounds of the units and when I return to the Pharmacy I talk myself into calling the person he was looking for. I find the number of her department via the hospital phone directory and call her--I tell her the whole story and she tells me that this is her ex-husband who is a meth head and crazy. She wants me to call Security and make a report, and to tell them that if they come in contact with him, not to touch him and "don't look him in the eye". Shit, I think--I just stood a few feet from the man and he "glared" at me (as I was looking him in the eye)!!!!! So, I do as she asks and call Security and make a report--I haven't heard anything since. Then to top everything off, on Thursday morning I had a doctor's appointment before work and as I turned onto the street leading to the parking lot I see a car the same color--when I got closer I could see it was a different make. I had made up my mind that if that car was a Mustang, I was going to park in another lot that morning. All this just goes to show that even if you "think" you live and work in a "little" town, crazy people are still around!!

Now on another work related topic: Our CEO said this week that we shouldn't post anything about work on ANY social networking site. Do we all agree with this?? According to him, this includes saying: I'm heading to work, or something like "work sucked today" or "work was great today". I'm confused--thinking about deleting all my work related friends from facebook, but hate to do that. What do you all think???
