Since I am the only one at work

Well, I am at work. *sigh* Kind of sucks...I have a dream: that I still be in bed dreaming. Well, at least my nasty co-worker is not here. It makes the day better. Did I tell you what he did? Well, one day we were talking about work, and he was talking to me and scraping the dirt from his nails...cleaning them...which is fine. In the midst of his speaking with me he, in one movement, scraped the dirt out and ate it....UGH!! He ate it...in front of me. It's dirt. White nasty germy dirt!! Now I know that I can be a little nasty too. I won't disclose my habits here...I know that I am prone to bite a nails and spit it out, even clean my nails...but I will not eat that dirt. UGH!! I almost threw up. THEN, it get s better...we have lunch with our manager (she's cool) and we enjoy an appetizer of queso, guacamole and salsa...yummy...when the chips come out I immediately get some and put them on a plate away from my nasty ass co-worker. He asks "hey why do you have your own plate of chips?" I say "because I want them close to me." Not that it's any of his business why I do stuff. He says "oh I thought you thought I had cooties or something." In my mind I am screaming "HELL YES, YOU DO!! Nasty Ass!!" I reply with a short "No, it's not that at all." UGH!! While we eat he makes jokes with the waitress, some a little inappropriate. I take that back, his borderline racist comments at work are inappropriate. The comments he made to the waitress were just annoying. **side note, one of the waitresses had the hairiest arms I'd ever seen on a woman** He dominates the conversation with his antics and I am in a lunch hell. Then he makes it even worse. You know how crumbs and drops of sauce fall onto the table? Well they should stay there...Oh no...that's not the case with Co-Worker...he picks up the crumbs and scoops up the sauce droppings off the table with his grubby nasty, open wound, sausage like fingers...while talking to Manager. UGH!! I was like "is he serious? someone married him? oh my God!!" Needless to say I have not ever wanted to eat around him again.
Ha! Joke on me. Manager invites us over for dinner. Nice gesture, wrong company. At least I would finally get to see who married this man. I met her, she's sweet and nice and a regular woman...I was confused. Anyways, anyone could see that I could not handle being around Co-Worker any more than I had to. I know I was short with him and I avoided him. I just can't be around him outside of work. I was punished enough during the time I spend at work. It's like he is always trying to correct me. The thing is...if I have done something wrong I might not care or I actually did it right and I don't need you nit-picking.

As you can see I don't like him too much. Believe it or not, I would rather work with his racist, nasty inappropriate ass than the other guy. The other might have pissed me off because I don't like his "higher and more important than thou" attitude. I might be projecting or overreacting...it's how I feel. Now you know.

Hmm, what else?

Well, I hope to be out of town next week. That will be nice. I have to work on my extracurricular things. I don't want to mention them here. I bought a planner. I still have trouble sleeping. I ate so good this weekend. I need to be easy on the food.

Oh! Funny thing. I went to the store to get milk...of course I could not get just one thing. I saw that edamame (soybeans) were on sale for 48 cents WOW!! So I got 5 bags...plus the milk...no basket...problem. I proceed to walk on...not towards the check out like I need to, I decide I should get some granola bars. I stand in front of the granola bars section. Hands full, mind contemplating...what to do. The frozen bags of beans are slippery and the milk is getting heavy. I must get granola bars, though. Just then, when I feel that everything will come undone and fall to the floor, a man comes down the aisle with a hand basket. He says "Here, take this, I'll get another one." Saved. Whew! I knew it was God. God was clearly laughing at me, then he helped me out. I laughed at myself too.

So here I am at work...the only one. I hope to go home early. mmmm, home....

Later!
