The Workplace

So, I just have to blog about this because it’s one of those things that I’m sure everyone can relate to, or at least I think so. There is this guy at work who is just a little odd. By odd I mean he makes it a point to talk to some of the younger girls here at work, for long periods of time, and about the most random and odd things. I, luckily have done my very best to avoid the most uncomfortable conversations and situations. Now, don’t get me wrong and think there’s sexual harassment at the workplace. No, that’s not the case. I feel so bad for the girl that sits on the other side of me who is constantly being distracted from her pile of work to do by the most cheesy comments like, “Where’s that smile? C’mon now, let’s see it! C’mon, crank it up!” I feel hesitant to share that his name is Bernie. Yes, Bernie. It’s like his parents were inspired by the Sesame Street characters, Bert and Ernie. I know, honey, let’s name him…. Bernie! Brilliant. I’d like to hear about your stories. You know there’s always one person who has to make you shiver or cringe at the workplace.
