BUNNY GIRL

”Hey, Kati. We’d need some pictures for an event’s ads.” ”I see.” //
”So would you dress up in a bunny costume for the advertisement?” ”…” //
”You mean like…” ”No, more like this. This is a children’t event.” //
”Though we do have that R-rated event coming up…” ”No.” //
”Okay, fine. But shall we take pictures tomorrow morning?” ”Alright.” //
”I’ll mark this is our calendars. There. At 9.30, ’Bunnying’.” ”Do we have to?”

Tämän takia hakuhistoriastani löytyy nyt ”playboy bunny girl”…
This is why there is ”playboy bunny girl” in my search history now…

WORK PLACE MOM

”…” //
”What’s up?” //
”I’ve just totally run out of energy.” //
”Do you need chocolate?” ”Well, actually…” //
”…right now I’d need someone to firmly but gently tell me to go home.” //
”Kati. Go home.” //
”Yes.” //
”Would you like that chocolate, too?” ”Yes <3"

THREE DAYS WITH ONE STONE

”Hey. What day is it?” ”Well, that depends. For ME, it is Thursday, Friday AND Saturday.” //
”Huh? How is that in any way possible?” //
”Well, if we look at a proper calendar, it is Saturday.” //
”But I’ve got six days of work without days off, and it’s day five now, so it’s Friday.” //
”However, I’ve got one more day before I’ve got a day off, so in that sense it’s Thursday.” //
”You are so weird.” ”Irregular work times make people weird.”

Pettymys

DISAPPOINTMENT

”…another car parked so that it took two parking slots! Like — it can’t be that difficult to park properly, can it?” //
”How come people can’t even park anymore?” ”I really don’t know.” //
”I am disappointed.” ”Well excuse me for being stupid.” //
”You are not stupid, just a disappointment.” //
… //
”That was a good one, I’ll be using that, too!” ”From now on I’ll introduce myself with, ’Hi, I’m Violet, I’m a disappointment.’!”

On tilanteita, jolloin en osaa pitää suutani kiinni. Onneksi niissä tilanteissa, kun ihmiset oikeasti loukkantuisivat, yleensä pysyn hiljaa. Tämä ”pettymys” nauroi noin vartin putkeen.
There are times when I just can’t stay quiet. Luckily I can usually keep my mouth shut when people would actually be hurt. This ’disappointment’ laughed for about 15 minutes at this.

CHICKENS

”Those chickens! Please remind me that I need to ink those chickens!” //
”Heh, my first thought was you going in to the hen house and — ” //
”Cluuuuuuuccckkk!!!” ”!” //
”Nooo, that would be animal torture!” ”Or…” //
”You could go to the restaurant and ask them for a chicken.” //
”Yes… you can do what you please with a dead broiler.” //
”Now I really need to ask: what are you three talking about?” ”Why, well, coloring pictures. Coloring pictures for Easter…”

Oppaan tärkein ominaisuus

GUIDE QUALITIES

”Hello, we had booked a guided tour for our preschool group. I think we’re a bit early, though.” ”Welcome!” //
”Your guide Annie will be here in just a minute. You can wait here at the playground.” ”All right, thank you.” //
”Who’s Annie?” ”Annie is a guide, she’s going to give you the tour.” //
”Is this Annie pretty?” ”What? Well, yeah. Why?” //
”OK.” ”?”

MY TASTE IN MUSIC

”We’d still need some energy conservation tips for this quiz.” ”There are some here already.” ”This water question still lacks one.” //
”Hmm, yes, something about saving water.” ”Along the lines of, ’take a shorter shower’?” //
”Or in a more positive way… ’Limit your shower to be as long as your favorite piece of music’?” //
”Well. My favorite piece of music is Bach’s St Matthew Passion. It’s three and a half hours.”

Liikun pyörällä ja julkisilla, vältän lentämistä ja uusien asioiden turhaa ostamista ja olen kasvissyöjä, mutta ai että tykkään lämpimistä suihkuista.
I move around by bike and public transport, avoid flying and buying unnecessary stuff and am vegetarian, but I really like hot showers.

Avunhuuto

A CALL FOR HELP

”…and when you click there you’ll find the customer groups. Yes, there. That’s it.” //
”If the group isn’t in the system just scream at the top of your lungs and I’ll come to help you.” ”Okay!” //

The group is not in the system – OK //
”AAAAAAHHHH!!!”

Työkaverilinnut

WORK MATE BIRDS

Olin kevään opettajana ammattikoulussa. Lähtiessäni piirsin työkaverini lintuina.
In the spring I worked as a teacher in a vocational school. When I left, I drew my work mates as birds.

Kortin sisälle piirsin itseni selittämään asioita, ja olin tietenkin varis:
I drew myself inside the card explaining things, and naturally I was a crow:

Opiskelijat olivat tällä kertaa kaikki liroja.
All the students were wood sandpipers this time.
