work conversations

i was gonna try to write these out in the form of shitposting but,,, i can't?? inspiration is gone i'm sad it's been a year since the whole bff split thing and i'm still feeling kinda fucked up over it but not enough to really give a fuck??

anyway. a lil bit of background for this:

alexis - 17. female, used to be in my brother's class way back when, had my aunt for a teacher for three years, wants to be a trauma doctor. l o u d.

faith- female manager, a sweetheart. very small blonde, plays a lot of instruments, former band kid.

isaiah- a wholeass manically depressed guy. 17, was dating alexis but she moved on like super quick, repeatedly sticks his fingers in the fryer vat and laughs when i'm super concerned.

haileigh- a bad bitch. almost 20, dyes the back of her hair. a sweetheart. i love her.

joey- 18 year old guy. has a lot of cats. weird as shit but funny. calls me jackie

dustin- guy who's into superhero movies and weed. really nice guy who talked with me about twenty one pilots one day. he's great. a diabetic

maegan- 17, also remembers my brother. female, a's best friend, likes early 00s rock/alt music. very pretty singing voice.

sarah- manager who's last day was a couple weeks ago. horse person. idk what they identify as bc everyone refers to them as female but their profile picture on facebook has a pride month filter ring on it that's the non-binary pride flag colors so,,,,

kyle- a chill dude with good music taste. looks like a stereotypical blond stoner dude.

there was also gavin, but he quit like a month ago which is :(

(we've also got a host of others but i mainly work with these ones. i'll introduce others if need be)

anyway here we go:

———

joey, from across the kitchen, talking to me: hey jackie!! i need ____

me, not thinking anything of it: yeah sure man just give me a minute

(he does this repeatedly over the next couple hours. finally though he comes over and sighs)

joey: i was trying to piss you off by calling you the wrong name just to see what you'd do

me: dude i know people who've been around my entire life that still don't call me the right name. i'll answer to almost anything

—

(directly related to the last one)

joey, continuing with the jackie thing

isaiah, incredibly confused: who are you talking to??

me: dude as long as you're not yelling at me and calling me a bitch i'll answer you. if you DO yell and call me a bitch there's a 99.9% chance i'll cry so please don't do that

—

me, actively kneeling on the ground and trying to retie my shoe

joey, saying some random bullshit that made me lose focus and fuck up

me: dammit dude shut up for a minute i can't tie my shoe if someone's talking to me

alexis, just walking by to grab something: what the fuck??

—

father's day

me, talking to fill the silence: yeah i'm sorry but if my dad wants to do anything when i get off work i'm probably gonna have to say no and go to bed
