ADVENTURES......with BARB!!

  MEET BARB!

Most people describe Barb as a nice, friendly, caring, compassionate, helpful, and sweet kind of gal!  

We inherited Barb from a child within the program and we are caring for Barb for a while.  Natalie my co-worker left on vacation to Chicago.  You know what they say...when "Mom's" away the children will play.....AND SO IT BEGAN.......

Looking Fab together!

Barb reading up on Social Work...she wants to be us.

Barb being ever so productive....NOT

We told Barb that this is inappropriate in the office.  She was kinda  rude about it not going to lie!

Office Tour!! Look how excited she is! PUT YOUR HAND IN THE AIR!!

Headed to get a cart to move some stuff in our office.

BEE safe storage!  People are so creative it kills me!!

Barb trying to beat Kim down the hallway...she is crazy competitive

Barb pushed Kim out of the way and stole the cart and rode it back to the office....Like I said COMPETITIVE!

 So, for the past month there has been a mystery smell in the offices across our hallway.  At first we didn't really care to much because it was not effecting us in our office.  Well soon that changed and the smell was unbearable. It was leaking through my window into my office and into the hallways.  So before we all were going to die due to this AWFUL smell I suggested a search in the basement for the source (dead body is what I was really looking for).  So pulling my big girl pants on, grabbing my co-worker's Kim and Carla, and Barb we ventured to the depths of the basement.  

Barb riding the slide into the basement.  Making Barb go first ;)  She didn't know Teehehe

Barb being a creep in the corner of the basement!  Looking for dead things

So what did we find on our investigation.... a whole lot of NOTHING....We did find where the smell was coming from in the depths of the basement but could not find the exact point of the source.  In the long run it was the furnace and it had to be replaced.  Smell is still lingering a bit after the replacement, but it is 10x's better then it was!

So we went out for lunch and this is what the security cameras captured while we were gone.

Spotted...Barb getting soda

Shaking the pop machine....She must not have know you had to put money in the machine....

Then, the camera spotted Barb trying to put her arm up the candy machine.....
Barb was mad because she couldn't bend her arm that way

On to the next adventure....THE COPY MACHINE

Results of this little activity....

After Lunch.....

Barb posing like a pageant girl?! That's what she was saying but we all know what that looks like...Hail _______! You fill in the blank!

Right after that picture she turned and started to attack Carla!  Trying to take her job!

She succeeded but then when she went to type and answer the phones she couldn't because all of her fingers are glued together so we convinced her to do another job

Barb all depressed :(  "My poor fingers"

but she decided to punch some papers instead! No finger separation needed!

After her episode she decided to be nice and delivered the flowers from the Marshall's to me! She was trying to make peace within the office.

 As Barb tried making peace with all of us in the office we got into a discussion of tattoos...and then she showed us what the cameras didn't capture while we were out......

SKULLS

Back Tattoo! Who would have thought!  Barb is TOUGH as nails

 YUP....exactly!  SHOCKED!  Barb is like a Goth, Biker, Rough around the edges type of girl.....Who would have known by the first initial smile and greeting!?


****Side note:  I was asked by 3 different people why I had been carrying a Barbie around the office.  I was looked at as a weirdo and they were judging me!  LISTEN PEOPLE...Life is what you make it OK! And if I have to carry a plastic doll around to make myself laugh in between tasks....I'M A GONNA DO IT....MMMKAY!

So Much Love,
Nicky
