Ever have your boss ask you to do something completely off the wall and out of the ordinary? As a kid I once had to climb inside a water tank to clean it from the inside!  As an adult the strangest thing I've been asked to do was to "guard" a newly poured parking lot.  You see the radio station I was working for had just poured a new parking lot...and overnight someone had run through parts of it and ruined it.  So they re-poured it the next day and it was my job to "guard" it overnight.  I even got approached by local police asking me what I was doing just "hangin out" by the parking lot.  Any way, the folks at OfficeTeam recently asked the same question.  Here are some of the things workers were "asked' to do by their boss.

- “Organize a hula-hoop competition for executive staff.”

- “Cut off the boss’s tie that was caught in the paper shredder.”

- “Get a snake out of the women’s bathroom.”

- “Call airport security to locate a lost shoe.”

- “Mail a box of dirt.”

- “Take samples of toilet paper from all the office bathrooms and compare them.”
