Bong University
At this time of year we are inundated with volunteers from UCSC. The reason? There is a teacher who, in an effort to "help" us, sends us her students. In lieu of writing a paper, they can volunteer 10 hours. Oh lucky us! We get up to 150 students clamoring to help us which basically ends up making more work for us. Ten hour volunteer stints aren't really what we are in need of but between bouts of losing our minds, we are grateful. Kinda.
My co-worker recently had a run in with a cream of the crop volunteer. It went something like this:
Voicemail Message (11:29 pm):
Hiiiii. My name is Peter and I want to do the AIDS thing. I'm in the, uh, Biology of AIDS class. . . Dude! Pass it. . .(gurgle, sucking sounds). . . So uh again, my name is Peter (said while holding in the pot smoke- imagine it).
Voicemail Message (11:34 pm same night):
Uh, hi. My girlfriend, Hannah, she said I hadn't left my number. It's ***-****. Yeah. Ok.
In person phone conversation snippet:
I don't know if this whole volunteering thing is gonna work out. It kinda gnarls cuz I'm gonna have to like write a paper. Everything is during the day. . . I'm like a night guy, a night owl.
********
Oh Peter.
I bet his parents are so proud. Their hard earned dollars spent on an education he will never remember.
. . .Dude! Pass it. . . (gurgle, gurgle. . .hold it.)

Hi poor poor girlfriend. Dating pot-heads gets old REALLY quickly.
I weep.
Sad, just sad.
It must be nice to have all this blogging fodder just dropped in your lap. Some other of us have to actually work for it ;-)
Oh, lord. I paid for my own education, so there's no effing way I would have spent all of it stoned, even if I had been into pot. Good luck with this one.
Goodness. That's hillarious. My friend was telling me the other day how she interviewed 2 people who came in together reeking of pot. College students, gah! :)
Good thing he has Hannah!
This is the funniest thing! I think I knew this guy when I lived in Portland... there were definitely a couple of them... yes, thank God for Hannah...
i do have to admit that i interviewed for a job drunk. hey, it was the day after st. patty's day, what do you expect? and yes, i got the job.
That is too funny.
I could put up with idiots like this if they didn't ruin so many other lives along with their own. And I can never figure out how much to blame them and how much to blame the morons who raised them.
I don't think he's been on that bong too often. Otherwise,he wouldn't be able to even REMEMBER his phone number.
He actually sounds like a smart guy, though. He's found a girlfriend who straightens out his screwups.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... voicemail is so entertaining! AND its free!
That is SO funny Sizz! :)
