valium and viagra.. oh the spam

My cousing harassed me to blog this morning, lol, and the truth is, I’ve been meaning too. But I got sick on Friday and have been having a bit of a rough week.

Anyway, so King (the guy I adore working with at work) quit about a month ago and the boss hired a woman from his old company. Without looking for someone else. Because he is insane.

She turned out to be a huge pain in the ass (also, laughed like a hyena, hence her moniker) and Hyena “quit” two weeks ago. Whereupon the company begged King to do some freelance until we find someone.

So the day my boss said “post this ad on Craigslist,” a guy saw it, brought in his resume and the following morning arrived to do some contract work so they could try him out.

Everybody loves him, he’s incredibly nice (I finally met him yesterday), he knows what he’s doing, he’s a total nerd like me and sadly, we probably won’t get to keep him because they won’t meet his price. STUPID BOSSES!

He’s married with two kids and incredibly qualified, but my bosses are freaking misers and they won’t pay enough to get somebody good. Hence the insane turnover (we’ve hired and fired, um, I believe SIX people since I’ve worked there… anybody see a problem?).

The best part about him is that he is so incredibly mellow that I have decided to dub him Valium. Yesterday, after he answered the twelfth call of the hour with the same calm response, I told him he was like taking a Valium. He laughed (and he’s a deep belly laugher, where the entire face becomes a grin.. you know, the fun people).

I told the Chop that a) I’m sad they don’t live near us because he and his wife would become our best friends lol and b) that if new guy’s voice is my Valium, his voice is my Viagra. 😉

hehe.
