Remember the Robin William's movie where he dressed in drag as an old woman?  He made a pretty funny woman.  Well we also have a "Ms. DoubtFire" in our office.  From the very first day, several of us thought she was a man in a dress because of her masculine features, obvious wig and thickly caked on makeup.  Right from the set of "Bird Cage" (another drag movie with Robin Williams).  But that was just the tip of our iceberg.

Now my hand should be on the Bible for this next part because as the honest truth, our office was buzzing for weeks over what Ms. DoubtFire told everyone while at lunch.  About 10 of us were talking about television and the Sci-Fi Network having shows about time travel, when Ms. DoubtFire tells everyone that she's time traveled several times.  I kicked my co-worker next to me to listen in while keeping a straight face.  Ms. DoubtFire said that she can't control the travel when it happens; one minute she's here and the next she's in another time dimension.  At first I thought she was pulling our leg but she believed every work she said.   

Well this lunch conversation spread like wildfire, even to people who were out of the office that day.  I don't think any work was done that afternoon because we had to share the story with everyone.  Eventually, our humor spread to more than the actual lunch conversation.  We started calling our time clock "The Time Machine" and every time Ms. DoubtFire's desk chair was empty, we'd say with a wink that she "popped out" for a bit and she'd be back shortly.

It actually got to the point where upper management had to call the entire office together and ask all of us to try and get along.  No mention was made to the specifically to the "time travel" comments but all us guilty people knew this was our official cue to stop.

Obviously, you'll hear lots more of her in future blogs.
