Things you should know before you read this story:
- I work with a lady named Shonna Sharpe.
- My employer offers flu shots and other vaccinations as part of their health plan
And for best impact, this story should be read aloud.
I saw Shonna Sharpe at work a few days ago.
She said, “Are you signing-up to get your shingles shot”?
I said, “I didn’t sign up for the shingles shot. Did you sign up for the shingles shot on the shingles shot sign-up sheet?”
She said, “I didn’t sign up for the shingles shot. All you have to do is circle shingles on the shingles shot sign-up sheet.”
I said, “I think we need to go and sign-up people for the shingles shot. We just need to find the shingles shot sign-up sheet and circle shingles next to their name.”
Later I decided that I wanted to get the shingles shot.
I found the shingles shot sign-up sheet and signed up for the shingles shot.
The health fair at work was on October 2.
I went to the health fair and then went to visit Shonna Sharpe.
I said, “Shonna Sharpe, did you get my shingles shot?”
She said, “No! Did you get a Shingles shot?”
I said, “I signed-up for a shingles shot on the shingles shot sign-up sheet but I didn’t get my shingles shot!”
She asked, “Why?”
I said, “They ran out. I assumed that Shonna Sharpe got my shingles shot!”
She said, “You are so silly! I didn’t get your shingles shot.”
I said, “Do you know what they did?”
She said, “What?”
I said, “They put my name on another shingles shot sign-up sheet.”
A week later, I stopped by to see Shonna Sharpe again.
I told Shonna Sharpe that I went to the pharmacy the night before to pick up a prescription and my spouse wanted me to check to see of they gave shingles shots.
They do give the shingles shot and have their own shingles shot sign-up sheet.
But there is also a shortage of the shingles shot. Not just at the pharmacy but everywhere.
I told Shonna Sharpe about my spouse and the pharmacy’s shingle shot sign-up sheet and the shortage of the shingles shot.
I also told Shonna Sharpe that I didn’t sign-up my spouse for the shingles shot on the shingles shot sign-up sheet.
I don’t know if you circle shingles on their shingles shot sign-up sheet.
A few days later I saw Shonna Sharpe again.
I said “Shonna Sharpe. I found out more about the shingles shot.”
She said, “Have you gotten your shingles shot?”
I said, “I still haven’t gotten my shingles shot.
But I found out that there’s not a single shingles shot.
The new shingles shot is a series of shingles shots. You don’t just get one.
And I don’t know if you have to sign-up on a second shingles shot sign-up sheet for the second shingles shot.”
She said, “Shoooooot!”
