I do not work in a daycare

[draggonlaady]

I work in a veterinary clinic. So please explain to me why, on a regular basis, there are multiple children running and screaming in the lobby, with no parents in sight? At what point did it become acceptable to ditch your unruly, noisy, disruptive kids with the already busy reception staff while you disappear into the exam room to talk to the doctor? And why am I not allowed to put said children in a kennel as I would an unsupervised dog left in the lobby?

Along with the "We are not a bank; we do not back loans" sign I contemplate posting, we apparently need one that reads:

"Unsupervised children will be given an espresso and a free puppy or kitten."

Ooh, good sign idea.
I wonder if I should put one of those up at our office... (we have a room with various games - a Wii, some pinball machines, etc. We occasionally have troubles with coworkers using the game room as a babysitter, which is hard on the games. The threat of espresso and a free small pet might slow them down a bit...)

I think it's a lovely sign. I also think that we could actually feasibly follow through, which makes it even scarier :)
