The wonderful world of working in an office!
Yay, I am so excited because this is my very first blog and, and I get to write about office antics! Because I work for an incredibly profitable and powerful company in the pharmaceutical field, it never ceases to amaze me the things that go on here! I am also a student, so basically this is just my job until I graduate so I don’t really feel guilty about calling my department the misfit department of our branch. The truth is the truth! Here’s a brief breakdown of my co-workers; there’s me (and I’m totally normal I promise!), an older deaf/mute man who still finds a way to tell anyone who’ll listen about how he cheats on his wife, another older man who is perpetually unhappy and comes into work shaking until he can get his hands on his next beer, an ex-alcoholic/pothead (yep, you guessed it another older man,) a middle-aged bean-pole of a guy who once told a MUCH younger female co-worker that he was unable to “perform” with his wife because he was in love with said younger co-worker, yet another older man who burps and farts on his every whim no matter who or what he’s near, (no I’m not kidding,) a relatively normal Asian man who for the most part keeps to himself (hey just like me,) and then the one other female in the group who claims she had 6 kids out of wedlock because it’s better for tax purposes. Oh, but she does refer to her boyfriend as her “husband.”
So you may ask, who the heck would hire such a group of people? Well, that would be my boss, another middle-aged man (who also farts and burps on a whim by the way,) who I think only keeps his job because it offers a paycheck. His title may be supervisor but, from what I’ve seen, supervising isn’t really a part of his job description.
As crazy as this group of office employees may sound, I know there has to be many others out there who are in the same boat as me. I have friends and family members who prove that to me everyday. This is just my little introduction to my place of work. and with over 400 employees at my branch, I’ll never be out of stories. So until next time, happy working!
