re: What is your most memorable co-worker quitting story?

This is more about me than the girl that quit.

My department covers phones when the receptionist has to go somewhere. While the chick that was moving on was at a meeting, the receptionist left to pick up the farewell cake for her, and transferred the phones to us.

Chick comes back from meeting, and phone rings. She asks, "oh, we have the phones? Where's Lucy?"

I had to think fast, and came up with.....

"She's having period problems, and had to run home right quick."

I guess the girl had issues with my impeccable wit, and I got called into my boss' office later for a tongue lashing.
