  Today is Friday. Let me give you a quick run down of some of the characters surrounding me. YL is my good friend and confidant. I think the world of her and would probably do stuff with her outside of work if she didn't live all the way out in Hell's Kitchen. Plus she's not much of a socialite. More on the computer nerd side of things.
Which I personally think is tremendous. It's a limitless field and if you're going to be a geek why not spend your time doing things that interest and challenge yourself, am I right? But she needs to go 'out of doors' more. (I have told her this).She agrees...but is not interested. Next to her is DB. D is a newly engaged jr. artist.
She is so pleasant that sometimes I think she is a plant. Not like a spy , but like a plant...a houseplant. ...that smiles.Even though I only ever see her sitting, I get the sense that maybe she is not too coordinated. She looks like a clumsy person, even sitting. But I envision her falling and then apologizing for falling, and then smiling. A houseplant.
Next to her is JT. JT is easy to describe. He is the hansom black man. He's tall, elegant, funky, sexy and totally removed from our pasty white existence. He seems to just be lightly humored by how little rhythm we have in absolutely every facet of our lives. But he will talk sports or TV with people from time to time.
He is a very nice guy. I consider him a friend. On the opposite side of all of them is TA. Our leader. Our department head. I don't even know where to start with him.On one hand, in my former life, I probably would have dated him....like for&nbsp;a week.
It would have been like one of those flash hot crazy relationships that seem too irresponsible to even afford the word 'relationship'. It would have been one or two weeks of total lusty sex and then we'd just drift away knowingly. Run into each other at parties and at bars and pretend you met them once at a dinner rather formally...but have that malicious 'I could eat you (if you weren't so complicated and time consuming)' look in your eye. On the other hand... he is an over-educated brat. The only reason he didn't get beaten up more in school is because he was raised in 'nice areas'. He's something like 25 years old.
Smart as a whip. Has got his brains in keen order. But would trade some of his brains for 'cool points'in a heartbeat I believe. He smokes, which lends him a fraction of coolness. he argues about politics..but none of us understand and I&nbsp;only say things that infuriate him to infuriate him - he catching on to that bit- and he gets really quiet whenever he has to go to dept. head meetings.
He has alot of pressure on him. Possibly too much. He works, smokes and drinks. that's pretty much it. Actually that's not true anymore - he has started playing soccer with my group and he's a mighty fine keeper. But rather quiet on the field.
Ultimately, he's a good egg. Just a bit jaded and scared (bad mix). He introduced me to his girlfriend about two months ago and I was totally freaked out. She looks like she could be my sister. (But I know she's not cause my sister works with us) But his girlfriend has alot in common with my sister in attitude. They are right.
And they are right ALL of the time - whether or not they're wrong, they're right. And they both have that irritating mean girl chin movement. Where do they learn these things? If you ask me - they teach people these things at only one possible place - "ugly girl sororities". that must be it. It's like where the ERA meets lifetime TV.
PETA must recruit from these places. Send scouts. It's money, cynicism and condescension wrapped in a patronizingly superior&nbsp;package. Lovely, no? YL could teach them alot. People like these normally hate me.
Which is fine. Shannon spent most of her life hating me. She was good at it. anyhoo. where was I? Ahh yes, work personalities.
I think I've mentioned Oscar in past writings. He's your basic dickhead, brown-noser. One you haven't met is KH. She is my fellow commuter. She hates the world. It's great to wake up and see her and her cloud each morning.
Have you ever watched The Powerpuff girls? (don't frickin laugh) it's a seriously good show. Well if you have - KH is exactly like Buttercup with a bit of a glandular problem. Cause Buttercup is very wee. But she is a very reluctant superhero. has rather a negative outlook on most things.
(even crimefighting) It's interesting to study KH. Cause that's what I do...I study her..to learn where the negativity comes from..and what it ultimately affords her. He initial reaction to all new people is "I hate her.Who does she think she is? " I find this interesting. Notw to put some Bologna on this work sandwich, KH (miss negativity) has a whopper of a crush on TA. She is visually frustrated each and every time she see's him.
She hates him for not wanting her. Absolutely hates him. and wants to have hot sweaty sex with him more than anything in the world. Interesting mix. TA who has NO IDEA she even is a female - let alone an available female, accidentally pisses her off constantly.She is not 'his type'...and I'm afraid I will have to concur with that. But I am no help...I just sit around knowing everyone's story and fucking with that power from time to time.
Like the time I invited Travis over to our place for beers and then told him that we were all going to swing by KH's margarita party for a bit. KH had dagger eyes as she opened the door. It was like her car blew up and she had an orgasm all at the same time. She had no idea what to do with us in her apartment. I had worn special shoes for the event, I remember. Travis was underwhelmed by her and her friends which only fueled her lust-hatred for him even more.
oi...have to check back, forgot I have a meeting. &nbsp; &nbsp;
