Does anybody have any? I have a ton of them. I take great care to keep these folks out of my business because I hear how they talk about each other. Talk about a competition to see who can get the biggest house, the best cars, the most junk, the most wonderful kids. Wow..
Anyway, yesterday a co-worker told me one of my tires was bad, showing "material". Ok, so I went out and checked it and indeed I have one tire that needs to be replaced. I appreciate him alerting me and the rest of the office. So since I am on night shift this week, and a total total crank useless person on night shift, last night I left said Blazer in the garage - since I got paranoid about the thing blowing out. I was fine when I didn't know...but since I knew I left it and drove my car to work.
Well, about 2am one of the guys looked out the window and asked what I drove to work since my Blazer was not in the parking lot. I didn't answer so he again asked if I was driving a little silver car. I told him yes it is my car. I have had this car since the 1st of the year and just never driven it to work. So he proceeds to ask what it is, when I got it and why I didn't tell anybody I had a Volvo...I had to laugh because he asked what it was and then told me it was a Volvo. So I told him I didn't no I had an obligation to tell anybody anything and he got mad attitude and continued to question me. Why haven't you driven it here before? When did you get it again? Why didn't you tell anybody? I told him because it ain't nobody's business and he looked so offended.
I had a flashback to a couple months ago when another co-worker who usually drives a 1992 Honda to work drove his wife's mini-van to work and got questioned to death. Why didn't you tell anybody you had a brand new mini van?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, this coming from a guy who tells all. Just last week bought a $6500 jetski, 3 new big screen televisions, new cell phones for the family (4) and a new laptop for the family and is leaving for a two week vacation in Chicago. Also has two mortgages and a wife with no job, a teenager, and a college student. I only know all this cuz he tells all. I know this was long, but it all irritated me. Me and my co-workers ain't that tight that they should expect I tell them anything and he aint the only one, there are at least a dozen of them. Competing for the best houses, the best cars... Anybody else got co-workers like this? Just venting.
