I decided just to skip the last post of the series so I can move onto this other series I've been thinking about doing for a while now. This one certainly won't be daily, they'll just have relevance to each other. In this series it will involve me telling stories in the workplace. Lame I know, but I have to tell them to someone. Even if it is the Internet.
Before I really start going, I have to introduce you to all of the characters I work with(I don't consider them coworkers).
The Managers
Whitman - He has the build of someone in a wheelchair. Super small legs, normal-like sized body. Plays online poker during his shift and I've never seen him do any work. But don't let them know I told you that.
Bauer - Father of David. He's pretty reliable on giving all the bitch work to the new guys. I'm the second newest guy so that means I don't have to do dishes when I work with the new guy, Eric.
Byron - I thought this guy was like 20 at first, but I guess he's like 25. Actually I have no idea why I think that. I'm just going to stick with around 25. He's pretty competent in giving the bitch work to the more incompetent people. Like Justin.
The Supervisors/Part-Time Managers
Rick - Super nice guy, today I found out he's 30. Has the dirstiest bald spot I've ever seen. He should never not wear a hat. Laughs at everything. Not hysterically or anything, he just gives a few hearty ha's after pretty much every other sentence.
Dara - She works front mostly, but every now and again she'll come to he back and help out. I owe her two dollars.
Liona - Works front. I've only ever dealt with her once and I thought she was a bitch, hard. And that's all I ever hear from everyone else.
The Front
Chris - "The British Guy". I get him to say bollocks and pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd. I'm determined to get him to talk in an Australian accent and say "let's throw another shrimp on the barby". Swears a lot, likes good movies, knows where it's at.
Bev - Daugher of Grandma. Joel puts it best: "There's only funny Bev, or angry Bev. There is no in-between." Grandma is her mother.
Lacey - Referred to by Joel and I as Catgirl. One time when she was like eight, she was mad at her parents, so she got a buthcer knife, and cut up their cat. She tells us about how she puts hamsters in the microwave and watches them melt. I have no pity for her and I tell her to shut up when she tries to talk to me about stuff not work-related.
Nadia - Super nice, she likes to tell jokes, which is always a nice attribute to any person. One time I made a pun with her name and I called her The Chronicles of Nadia. But she didn't get it. Whatever.
Amanda - Apologizes profusely over everything. From what I gather, she has a messed up family of sorts. But I don't gather much.
Joel - Joel Dryden? Joel
Kenneth Dryden???
Shaundel - I don't really know who this is. I think she's blonde.
Korbyn - The new person up front. Sometimes when I share breaks with her, she won't talk to me or anything, just stare at the clock until twenty minutes passes and so I'm reduced to reading the same FHM magazine I've read time and time again.
Tiffany - She can make any normal conversation awkward. When I share breaks with her, I'm the one who doesn't talk, I just don't make eye contact and read the FHM magazine.
Jacky - Uuuh, she's red-headed. She was in intensive care last week and we all signed a card. Reportedly she thought what I wrote was hilarious. But that's another story.
Charlene - No idea who this is. Seriously, no clue. The name sounds familiar but that's it.
The Back
Evelyn - Refered to as Grandma. I don't think I've ever heard her called by her real name. Grandma is roughly the age as human thought. She knows more about A&W than A&W does. Officially labeled as a "lifer".
Eric - The new guy. Really cool guy. Used to be super shy and reserved but now that he's more comfortable he talks more. He makes fun of the people everyone else does.
Dave - Son of Bauer. Hilarious. Always good for a laugh. He's the one who starts all the workplace jokes that people constantly refer back to.
Andrew - He's just another guy. Hard worker. Likes a good laugh. Makes a bunch of sexual innuendos. What can I say?
Penny - Sisters with Joleen. We'll get to her. Penny's ok. She asked me once if Kacey and I were going out.
Joleen - Seriously, if you ever say anything to this girl, bet your money on her saying "what?". Also, if you walk past her or do something that isn't standing perfectly still staring into space, she'll go "ah!". Incompetency is a dish best served Joleen.
Vicky - She lied about her age so she could work here. That was probably back in the 50's for all I know. She's another lifer. I always see her making onion rings and all she talks about his how she's always behind every day and about how many onion rings we used the other day. I thought she didn't really mind it but I found out a bit ago that she hates doing it.
Sam - Never talk to her, the only times I've worked with her is when I'm like five minutes early. Apparently she's really stubborn.
Me - lol
The In-Betweeners(People who alternate between front and back)
JT - Big fellow. Big as a lummox, really. He knows the ins and outs. He works at movie gallery too so sometimes I don't see him around for a while. OK guy, he has a different style of humour than me so sometimes we irritate each others.
Harder - Brandon Harder. You should know 'im. Drunkie. Womanizer. Loves fireworks. Drives with one hand on the wheel.
PJ - I purposefully save PJ and Justin last. These two are on opposite ends of the teenage boy stereotype spectrum. PJ is tall, broad shoulders, good-looking, intelligent, he knows a lot of things you wouldn't expect. Every move he makes has a purpose. Whereas on the other side we have...
Justin - Small, geeky. Has glasses. Greasy hair. Acne. Tells jokes that no one thinks is funny, not even himself. Barely competent. Just barely. It looks like half the time he doesn't know what he's doing, and he twitches out a lot. Lots of people call him Potter saying he looks like Harry Potter. The only similiarities are the black hair and glasses, I really don't see it at all. One time I had to cover a shift for him because his car wouldn't start. BS, I say.
So now that I have all those personalities out of the way, when I tell you tales of my work, you won't be so in the dark and I won't have to desribe to you why it's funny or why it's not.
EDIT: I added stuff on the descriptions and some spelling and punctuation crap. Not really worth a re-read.
