It's foreign so would have to go to a special mechanic. They also just
never appealed to me.

I didn't say all of them but these seemed to be. One of them was going on
and on about how horrible her nephew was because he wanted some shorts
called Jams. I believe that was the brand name. She made the claim that
shorts were shorts and there was no need for brand name stuff. These weren't
even designer things. This woman struck me as what Byran would call white
trash. She did a lot of things that I didn't agree with. Like telling us
that the had fed her kids peanut butter pie for dinner and nothing else.
Had a filling of Cool whip and peanut butter.

Another time she left her kids in the office while she did a breakfast with
Santa Claus event. Her kids hadn't eaten breakfast and they were very
hungry. The only food I had was candy canes so I gave them each one. Then
she yelled at me for having fed them candy.

She also didn't speak very well. "Imo go smoke" was a favorite saying.
Meaning that she was going to go have a cigarette.

She also seemed to think that she was better than everyone else and that her
opinons were the only ones that mattered. She was our office manager.
Thankfully not the same office that I worked in but we had no wall
separating the two offices so she was hard to escape. I did quickly learn
not to speak to her unless necessary and never give any personal details.

The other one also thought that she was better than everyone, laughing at me
because I paid to have my hair cut and because I had moved back in with my
parents temporarily, following a car accident. I had to buy a new (used)
car and needed a few months to get back on my feet. She thought that was
just horrible.

Nobody, and I mean, nobody who worked there liked this woman. So we all had
a big laugh at her misfortune one night. She had gone out, gotten drunk and
climbed over a fence near the Seattle Center that was clearly marked with
signs not to enter. Two other coworkers had been in the area and saw her do
this. One over the fence, they heard a scream and no longer saw her. So
they went to investigate.

Seems there was a giant hole on the other side of the fence where they had
been working. She fell into it and broke her leg. The police were called
and she was arrested for being drunk in public and treaspassing.

So when she called in "sick" the next day and said that she didn't know for
sure when she would be back, my boss had already gotten the word as to what
had really happened to her. She was fired.

While the broken leg was unfortunate, she had no business doing what she had
done. And I do believe in karma.

To top it all off, her boyfriend who was a policeman, broke up with her
following this incident. She had Lorded the boyfriend over our heads all
the time, claiming that she was going to have a wedding that was out of this
world but none of us were going to be invited. She had two boys but I don't
know the history of that. Don't know if she was married prior or not.
