“We actually get this question on
a pretty regular basis,” says an
official with Iowa’s Department
of Transportation. The source
of confusion: the deer-crossing
signs that are posted along the
road. And the question... “Why
don’t you put these signs where
it’s safer for the deer to cross?”

I just typed to a work contact saying
“I know you are very busty.” I meant
to say “busy”. Not sure how I’ll ever
recover from that one. @svross2 CRDWRAPASAURUS
I work at a museum and a woman
asked me if mummies were older
than dinosaurs. #Pleasefireme.

Haven’t you heard there are no
dumb questions in business?
From these HR queries, that
truism is clearly not true.
z I falsified my résumé. Now that I’m
working here, can I change it?
z Can my supervisor require me to
have specific working hours?
z Can I have my salary deferred until
next year so I don’t have to pay taxes
this year? I don’t need the money this
year.
z Will you give me a raise if I stop
smoking marijuana?
z Can I wear a swimsuit and towel
on casual day? workforce.comILLUSTRATIONS: GETTY IMAGES
