We are young

 This song always comes on the radio. My favorite part is the Tonight we are young so lets set the world on fire part and that is about it. 


My time as a buyer for the hospital is coming to an end.  After this week I will have 3 weeks left and then hopefully it will be off to the next job or back to being a housewife.

While at this latest job I have come into contact with what one of my friends refers to as office characters or OC's.

Racist Surfer Grandma Chick- while at lunch one day the conversation turned to beauty and skin products.  This lady's comment of why black women don't have wrinkles was "because they come from Africa and are used to being in the sun".  Her heroes are Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Jan Brewer.

I hate everyone and will gladly let you know Lady-This particular lady was my teammate and nice to me even after I asked her a bajillion questions everyday.  Her beef seemed to be with everyone else in the office.  She didn't care much for our direct supervisor and the manager and was so open with me about why she didn't like them that it really surprised me.

Smokey McQuitter- This lady has smoked for most of her life and now has that gross cough that sounds like pieces of lung are making their way out of her body.  She also breathes very loudly so she will never be a good ninja.  Also she likes to tell the same stories over and over.  I know she loves hush puppies and is upset that there isn't a good place in town that serves them.  She also thinks the fish and chips platter at Applebee's is delicious and that servings are large.   I also know when avocados are on sale because of her.

Mr. Ninja Man-This guy is so sneaky you never know when he has arrived or left work for lunch or the day.  He's so good that I had no idea he even worked in this office for 2 weeks.

Ms. Forgets A Lot-Following this lady is like watching a yo-yo. For example she'll ask you about what kind of crackers you are eating....will then ask how many calories...you answer something else like the other flavors you enjoy and then she'll ask you what you are talking about.  She can't seem to follow a conversation at all.  Today she asked another lady how much weight she lost.  The lady responded 50 pounds and Ms. Forgets a Lot says "No WAY, you are lying....you lost 650 pounds?!!!!!!"

Mama Boy Jimbo-This dude took the full time buyer job I initially interviewed for.  He's a nice guy but when he first started in purchasing he would bring food that his mama made for him.  Turns out he lives in the trailer next to his mama's and his sister lives on the other side of mama.  He rarely brings his mama's food now and instead goes out to Whataburger, Eegee's and Burger King on a regular rotation.  My fondest memory of him was when he told Racist Surger Grandma Chick (his supervisor) to ...."chill out babe"!

I work with more people but they aren't as fun to write about.
