When I interning as an Engineer, we had a woman who was, well, a drunk.
A couple of her better ones:
She'd call in sometime well after 8AM,
Co-worker: "Who's this?" - her voice was slurred, etc
Me: "James"
Co-worker: "My dogs foot is limping. And I'm gonna have to take him to the vet." - Grammar was, as it was.
Or
Co-Worker: "My refrigerator is making a funny noise. I had a repairman out to fix it last time. So I know how to fix it."
Eventually, she went on a bender at Thanksgiving and didn't show back up until January. We heard rumors that she was being given 3 months to find a new job, or she would be fired. After forgetting about these rumors, in late March, she took us aside and said she had just gotten this great job offer from a State Employees Credit Union....
