Co-worker



Just a thought.....Co-workers. 
So if you have ever had a job, I am sure that you have a story about one of your co-workers. These are the tales of a couple of the strangest, other there characters that I have had the privilege to work within my career. There was the one co-worker that once told me and another employee that we shouldn't eat bananas because the government had been putting Aids in banans for years to thin out the population. That was one of the funniest moments that I can remember simply because he was dead serious and believed every single bit of that story. Then there was one co-worker that always had a better story than yours or anyone else's and the details were so outlandish that you couldn't help but shake your head and laugh. We actually use to call it Storytime with Ron (names have been changed to hide their identity). He literally told us that he sold weed to Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings and stole 20 pounds of weed from a group of Jamaicans in a blazing gunfight. Tales so out there that you couldn't help but laugh. There was also a guy who would come to work early before his shift to meet with his side chick who would bring him lunch and then he would have his wife bring him food at lunchtime. This went on for about seven months. We all knew about it because at lunch he would share his food with some of us because he couldn't eat two meals and he didn't want to waste the food. I gotta say, I don't know if it was the wife or the side chick but one of them use to make a badass guiso. Then one day he forgot something at home and his wife went up there early to give it to him and she busted him with the side chick. That was a glorious day because everyone at the warehouse got to see the show. Needless to say that things changed for him after that and we didn't see him much after the incident. Then at another job, there was this one co-worker that would always warm up his food for lunch and it would smell up the breakroom something awful. The stench was sometimes really bad it would make some people in the office nauseous. I am sure that everyone has had that one co-worker that they will never forget simply because they were really good, really bad or just outright really weird. But it always takes different folks to make a workplace ebb and flow. I could go on and on with more stories from the array of different jobs that I have held over the years but it is too close to my bedtime, So until tomorrow folks remember to pray, love and give thanks. Oh yeah....and this was just a thought.

Just a Thought....Coping.

Just a Thought....Coping. I write this post tonight with a different heart and mindset. One of the hardest things to accept when you go down...
