This week is going to be a short week at work, as I imagine it will be for those of us working in these good old United States.  Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday.  Today was slow at work, t...

---

Even though Gurney is long gone, Manteca continues to come by our little corner of the office.  Now, I'm wondering what her deal is.  At first, the thought was that she would only come by to chi...

---

I couldn't have been any more ecstatic than I was on Friday when Gurney's last day in the office had come and gone. I didn't care what his day was like or how everything played out for him in t...

---

Today the office held its now annual Trunk-Or-Treat event and third such event overall.  I meant to escape much earlier than I did, being that I wanted no part of this year's festivities.  My pl...

---

I meant to go to work today after my dentist appointment this morning, but in the end, I just did not feel like it.  Today's dental visit was for a placement of a permanent crown and then for ye...

---

Gloria and I had lunch today, as we seemingly do at least once a week.  Since neither one of us has much of an appetite these days, we tend to share meals.  At most, we each get a drink of our o...

---

The first of what I anticipate will be multiple office e-mails regarding next week's planned Trunk-Or-Treat festivities was sent early this morning.  I briefly glanced at the e-mail and promptl...

---

For the life of me, I can't understand why it is that everyone in my work group had chosen of late to treat Chortle like she was some kind of celebrity, especially when I continue to see her as ...

---

Vonda had a birthday this past week.  Maybe it was Wednesday?  Maybe it was Thursday?  I want to say that it was on Thursday, because when I came in early that morning, her cubicle had been deco...

---

9) Morie Morie is the supervisor of the work group.  She's in charge of this band of morons.  I don't envy her, but I know that she's battled the same frustration that I have, but obviously, i...

---

7) Vonda Vonda came into the work group alongside Kyra and while most would think that they are friends, Vonda will vehemently deny it.  I understand that.  Under no circumstance would I ever ...

---

6) Gloria Gloria is the "lead" of the work group and has been with the department for a decade.  By lead worker, she is second in command, just behind our supervisor.  This means that she has s...

---

5) Kyra Kyra is the second worst person in the work group, a very close second behind Gurney.  She is the type of person who has to be the center of attention at all times.  She is vocal, way ...

---

4) Fannie Fannie would be the second of two assistants who are assigned to my work group.  If I had to guess, I want to say that she joined the work group back in March or April 2025.  I'm est...

---

3) Nessa Nessa would be one of the two women in the work group with whom I am comfortable working and is someone I would consider to be a friend.  She has been in the work group for just over ...

---

2) Chortle Chortle is one of two assistants in my work group.  She's the oldest person in the work group.  Early 60's I want to say.  I'm bad with ages, so I guess there's a chance that she mig...

---

It's always nice to know the characters of any story that you're reading.  As I mentioned in Part I, I work with seven other people in my work group.  I only get along with two of them.  I fig...

---

This could end up being one in a series of entries, because I think that it would be way too much material for a single entry.   I spend a lot of my time at work, which has been the case for tw...

---

           The clock on the wall directly in front of me shows that it is 8:47. It's been 8:47 for nearly six months in this office, dating back to when Daylight Savings time began. The clock'...
