The Mentality Of my Co-Workers

Lately, the mentality of my co-workers never ceases to amaze me. The insightful bullshit which they spew forth makes me laugh, if not in front of them, definitely because of them. Let me explain....

After lunch, I opened the back door in my office and lit my cigarette. As I stood there smoking, Grimy proceeded to engage me in this most childish conversation.

'Hey...I heard a rumor,' he said with a shit-eating grin on his face.

'Please, enlighten me with this insightful bullshit,' I said as I took another drag.

'Now don't get mad. But I heard you had your eye on someone in this office.'

'Who, pray tell, fed you this line of garbage? And who did they say I had my eye on?'

'I'm not going to say who told me, but I've heard it from several people. And they said you had a thing for Chief.'

I laughed as I flicked the ashes from my cigarette out the door.

'Do you people have anything better to do with your time than to play these childish games? Don't high school kids do these idiotic things?' I asked.

Apparently, Grimy wasn't the only one to hear such gossip, Dave agreed with him that he himself had heard the same rumor. Which makes sense, since Grimy's brother, Hummer, whispered to me this morning that 'Chief likes you, but you didn't hear it from me.'

Grimy continued, 'So, let me ask you a question, and you better not lie to me or I'll cock-block you later. Let's just say that Chief asks you out for a couple of drinks after work one day, would you go? And be honest!'

'I don't know, maybe,' I replied as I put my cigarette out and closed the door.

Grimy finished his little interrogation with, 'Well, OK. That's honest. So now if it comes up I won't make a big deal out of it because you were honest.'

'Grimy,' I said as I brushed past him, 'With you, everything is a big deal!'

I still don't see why every one's personal life is such a big fucking deal! Whether or not I have 'my eye' on Chief should be no one's business but my own. But...I guess that's what happens when you work with a bunch a idiots!

Back to work!
