Disclaimer: I am heretofore going to post all entries having to do with work under "stories" for organization's sake. I don't think I'll be posting anything like "fiction" any time soon.
Okay so, I work for a corporate pharmacy chain. Yes, that means I work retail selling drugs legally. For now, this information is relatively irrelevant, but stow it for future "story" reference, 'kay?
Well there was a big conference and the store and pharmacy managers were going and one of my coworkers asked them where this event was taking place.
"Baltimore," he replied simply.
"Baltimore? Where's that?" was her response.
The manager, mildly shocked by her lack of geographical knowledge, said, "Really? You don't know? Would you like to guess?"
To which she guessed "Is it somewhere in Chicago?"
That's right ladies and gentlemen, she thought the city of Baltimore was WITHIN ANOTHER CITY. How she thought this would be feasable is anyone's guess.
And yes, I got the gold star because I DID know that Baltimore is in fact located in the state of Maryland. Sometimes I can't believe I attended the same school system as some of the people around here.
