The People I've Met at Work So Far

So, the Census Bureau is turning out to be quite the place to meet a variety of new people. Here's a little description of the people I've met so far:

Department Management:
1. The sweet, soft-spoken daytime supervisor in my department.
2. The funny, good-natured evening supervisor in my department. Awesome, sarcastic sense of humor.
3. The apparently bipolar manager...pounding his fists on his desk one minute and cracking jokes the next. Don't like either of his personalities.

The people who started in my department when I did:
1. The other big girl....I like her a lot! Excellent sense of style, very pretty girl. Efficient worker, pleasant conversation.
2. The "Daria" clone. Monotone, Daria look-alike. Anti-social. Productive, but just enough to avoid looking lazy. Also, seems to be incapable of parking properly in a straight parking spot. Luckily, I haven't parked next to her.
3. The middle-aged, single gay guy trying like hell not to let on he's gay. I think he knows I've got him figured out. He's a nice enough guy. Really ought to try short sleeved shirts as a possible solution (or at least a help) for his excessive sweating.
4. The 50-something forever-single guy living in his mom's basement. Ok, so we don't have basements in Florida....making him the guy living in his mom's spare bedroom. I can picture this guy being the world's oldest WoW addict. He's nice enough, but about half the time he talks in his (scarily accurate) Yoda voice.
5. The Lenny Kravitz wannabe. Same look, but with a lazy"God's gift to the world" attitude. Spends most of his day flirting with the women in the office, while simultaneously bragging to the guys about his "hot" girlfriend. Instead of describing things as "cool" or "awesome" or "neato," he calls everything "sick." It makes me sick.

Other people working in my department:
1. The self-proclaimed Wicca-Jew. Aside from her extreme religious confusion, I really like this chick! She's cool, fun to talk to, and does her job well. Considering what I know about her life outside of work, I'm amazed at her positive attitude!
2. The robot girl. Works at super speed, knows the job inside and out. Speaks only when asked a question about work procedure, and then only to give the shortest possible answer without any unnecessary elaboration.
3. The "Quagmire" (think Family Guy). 'Nuf said.
4. The pregnant white-trash slut with unending verbal diarrhea. Raised her boyfriend's 3 kids (from 3 other mothers), got pregnant, and he left her. But she's confident he'll take her back once the baby is born in September and she gets her life all straightened out again. She says things like "anybody messes with my family and I'll take a Louisville Slugger to their knees" and I don't think I've heard her utter a sentence without a curse word. I do whatever I can to not work near her, as she is hands' down the most annoying coworker I've ever had.

New recruits coming in next week.....
