Go Phish

  • Posted by Melissa on September 2nd, 2003 filed in old blogs, work

To kill a little time before I get ready for work, I think I’ll talk about this guy I work with at my temporary assignment.  He’s a somewhat interesting, somewhat obnoxious person whose favorite band in the whole world is Phish. I learned this about him on my first day, because it’s among his top ten favorite conversational topics. He has a Phish tattoo for God’s sake. My first thought was, “Oh my God, what a fruitcake.” His chief characteristic is that he doesn’t really stop talking for the entire 8 hour shift. If he’s there alone, I suspect he talks to his computer mouse, or to the kleenex boxes on the desks. I can only assume that he gets lonely in the bathroom and has to talk to the urinal for company. I can’t entirely make up my mind about him. I think it’s just that I find him interesting.
