Characters of note at work

"The Talker"

Meet "The Talker" - 21 yr old devout christian.Nice guy BUT immense potential to bring out the worst in just about anyone-because there is no end to his constant jabbering!!You'd know minute details like the kind of wall paper he'd put up in each bedroom of his future house within the first 10 min of meeting him for the very first time!
Thank God for small favours though...comes in to help out, only from 3-5 p.m.There have been days where he came in at 12:00 and yeah...thats all I have to say for now!
Oh!and he wants to be a florist and hopes to own and run his own little business.(He'd give discounts to only the church and the elderly)

"The Turk"

Poet/Writer.About 55.Comes in almost everyday.Spends an hour writing letters to friends back in Turkey.Has dreamt he was carried up to the heavens by two angels.Basically writes poems about that.Works at a nearby grocery store.Thinks "eid" is not the befitting word for errr "eid"...apparently,it sounds a lot like "aid"....and thats not a very nice thing!

"The Freak"

This one has to take the prize.Just came in today and I honestly hope and pray he doesnot return!Can't even come up with the medical jargon to categorise this gentleman(NOT!) into some sort of a personality disorder.African american.Came looking for special type of perforated paper.I didn't have any.Suggested he check this other store but since i am not from around here...I couldn't give him directions.So,I am sitting there, oblivious to whats to happen next.He picks up a paper clip from the work station near the entrance.Says,"Nahh!this ones too small".Picks another bigger one.Walks up to my desk, THROWS IT AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and says how could i do this to him.My reaction...stunned of course!!He says he was just kidding.I just stare at him and he leaves.I need to make better use of the stapler that sits right in front of me the next time!!!
