Employee’s Of The Month’s
*Jesus-loving coworker injured herself a week ago, and has been limping around and generally acting pitiful, since. Seriously, lady, you TRIPPED. We all trip. I pretty much trip for a goddamn living! get over it! anyway, today, during one of her few upright times, I noticed she was wearing a silver necklace (think Carrie Bradshaw’s “Carrie” necklace in Sex and the City”) that said “Try God”. How is that appropriate work wear? Pretty sure I would not get away with “Try Allah”, “Try Buddha”, or, because antagonism is one of my favorite hobbies, “Try Satan” in some godawful (pun not intended but left on principle) electroplate.
* One of our department managers came in with dark purple hickeys from his ear, down his neck to his chest. When I took him aside to politely point out that they were visible, he said, “I know, aren’t they awesome?” He then goes on to explain that his girlfriend (hereafter, to be known as Kenickie) had to go out of town and she wanted to (I kid you not) “mark her territory” before she left. This guy is, like, 35 years old! Barf.
* A girl who works in a diff department showed up today with the most hideous synthetic clip-in. Now, I am not opposed to some Toni Brattin magic , but this thing looked like it might have been snatched off of a hobo who had been using it to shoo flies. Girl, just because it is called a “ponytail” doesn’t mean it should be equine in origin!

I had to comment and let you know that I started reading this blog after finding it on BUST links and have been laughing ever since. Brings back memories of working at a pharmacy and ridiculous people there. I have also shared this with several of my coworkers and we go into work and talk about your blog over coffee. Thanks for providing some great conversations!

I love your blog. You are a great writer. However:
I am 35, which, when you reach it, you might realize isn’t actually all that old. I mean, I am aware that I am almost dead to those in their 20′s, but I still feel the same inside as I did back then. I don’t feel particularly gross, but maybe this guy you work with is just fat and balding. Just sayin’.

I gather she meant he is an adult, not a teenager, to be “marked”. If you are an adult in an adult relationship, you won’t go knocking uglies with everybody just because your girlfriend is out of town. Nothing against any-year olds having girlfriends and love lifes.
