Drama @ Work...

I work with a lot of great people --my older brother included-- and we're all pretty good together. I mean, sure, we curse every now and then, and things get dropped, but when it gets tight, we're like one person, working to make the customer happy. And such is the maturity in our working together that I often forget the immaturity that comes from being under eighteen --which five of my fellow employees are-- or even being under twenty --which includes three more of the lovely people I work with.
For example, today, I come into work --which was abismally slow-- and Eli follows shortly after and he starts talking about how everyone is being really mean to one of the girls we work with, because it would seem she's a bit boy-crazy. And, though my brother is one of those boys, and despite everything else is NOT stupid enough to sleep with a minor, everyone else thinks they are and so she's getting a lot of snide comments (WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE GIRL'S FAULT??) and she came in during lunch and you could tell she was hurt by it all.
So, I ask her about it, not judging, just questioning, and she won't give exact details, so I up and ask "What, do they think you're sleeping with everyone at Angeno's?" to which she replies, "Basically, yeah."
So I come back with, "Where do they get that? I mean, geez, you're not sleeping with me. I feel so left out!"
Laughter ensues, of course, which is what I planned, and I think she felt a little bit better after that.
But really, I can't understand how such great people can say and assume such mean things.
Whatever happened to 'Innocent Until Proven Guilty'?

In other news, I ditched out on a 'date' with one of my guy friends yesterday.
Not because I didn't want to hang out, no, but because I didn't want to hang out for an extended time period. I mean, I was running late already, so it gets to be about five and I was planning on coming back at around seven-thirty, and driving the half hour or so to get there just seemed a waste...
(Plus, I didn't want to risk being steam-rolled into staying longer, cuz I'm sure I'd feel guilty enough to do so after being late.)
However, my time wasn't wasted on doing nothing, as I got to spend some quality time with my baby sister (the one who's taller than me, lol), and I still had a lot of fun...
Oh, and I finished a book, finally.

YAY!!

Anyways, life is still crazy, but I'm finding I'm enjoying it, strangely enough...
With the exception that I have only wrinkled clothes because I don't have time to fold them, haha...

Then again, I'm free this afternoon, so maybe I better go, hmm??

Hope all is well with you.
