Characters I Meet At Work

I make a lot of vague references to people at work on here. I've noticed that a lot of them are pretty funny characters.

* The Intern. Okay, technically, I'm supposed to call her a "co-op" but no one knows what that means. She's a nice kid, but it's a little like trying to manage a puppy. And she's totally naieve. Today, she told me she didn't realize there were still prostitutes because prostitution is illegal. But she's maturing.

* The Temp. He's a perpetual temp. I'm not sure why. Most temps want to get full time positions. He runs out of hours, goes away for a little while and then comes right back as a temp. Oh, and he's a dishonest sneak (see the post below).

* The Belgian. He's 27, but a very young 27. He's also very handsome and very nice. Overall, he's good to have around if for no other reason than he has great stories to tell after the weekends.

* Admiral Crabbypants. He wants you to think he hates everyone and everything. But then you find out that he won't eat veal because the baby cow suffers. He doesn't always wear his crabby pants. Sometimes, they're just crabby shorts.

* Jeeves. She's knows everything about everything and even when she's wrong she'll insist she's right. She's in charge of approving protocols for clinical studies and she likes to make up rules.

* The Boss. She's French. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

* The Pretty Pretty Princess. She's tall and blonde and always well dressed. The only meat she will eat is chicken. And only if it skinless and boneless and looks pretty.

* The Brit. He thinks he knows everything and is better than almost everyone. I think he took me seriously when I told him that Americans will believe anything if you say it with an accent.

* The Guy No One Likes. He once threatened to sue the company for discrimination and now he gets away with murder. He doesn't do any actual work. He stirs up trouble. He gossips. It's like having a 14 year old girl wandering the halls.

This is getting long, so I think there will be a part two in the future.
