CyberHippie Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 So I'm sitting at my desk this morning minding my own business, when one of the HR ladies walks by. (she's in her 50's, and I've only spoken to her a couple of times). She stops by my desk and points out a nearby plant and remarks how it looks an awful lot like a marijuana plant, and laughs. Then she's like, I got this joke that I *have* to send you!! She forwards me the link to that cbc monday report video... too funny... man is it that obvious? My cover is blown!

bradm Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Let me guess: she had just come back inside from stepping out for a "smoke break"... :-) Also, what kind of plant is it? I'm assuming it's not actually marijuana, so I'm wondering what it is that would look so much like to make her say that. (My cubicle is plant-free, so if I ever get around to foliating it, I need some suggestions as to what plants to plant.) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hey Brad, You need to get on the plant train. Not only does it breathe some life into your work environment it gives people something to talk about. The absolute easiest is a spider plant. They like some sunlight but don't need a window. They grow like crazy, and you can make cuttings and repot them and give them to your co-workers. My original plant has 6 offspring in other cubicles over here. Just make sure it gets watered regularly, if you're working in an overheated and dry office building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazed Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I agree it is all about the plants when you live in cubicle land..you need something that is "alive" . Pictures alone just don't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questcequecest? Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 plants that hold a lot of water are great. cactus, jades, and rubber plants, etc... you can forget to water them for months, they dont need any direct light. plus, you can name them... these are mine: robert (plant), jadé, p.c. (peniscactus), etc... fun! my cover at school has been blown for weeks, ever since i polluted our potluck with potfood. mmm... headiest g.i.s. president ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I have no idea what the plant is called, I've seen it around a lot though, in offices. It's got thin stalks kinda like a weed plant, and has like 7 leafs. Looks a little like this: Another great plant for office and home is the Philodendron. It doesn't need a lot of light, or water. You can't kill the things, and you can also take clippings to start new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 The plant that earthfreak posted ...there's tons of them by the Canal near Billings Bridge and further south. They must be in the cannabis family somehow because the likeness is uncanny and because they are very very fragrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
