Name: the Weather Girl
Age: Twenty Something
Reason Bob keeps her around: "Becauses she's spunky and wears perfume."
A note from the Weather Girl:
When I first started working for Bob, it was kind of difficult. He's funny, but kind of grumpy. He's intelligent, and he can be really sarcastic. Sometimes, I wasn't sure if he was making a joke or making a joke of me. After a few months, I was able to learn more about Bob: He liked water balloon fights, watching Britney Spears clips, and thought it was fun to jokingly tease the sales people. Well, only sometimes he was joking.
Anyway, Bob kept reminding me that the only reason he hired me was to appease his "boss man." However, I knew that Bob secretly enjoyed my company, and sometimes after work, he'll take me downtown and buy me some lunch. As an older college kid, free food is definitely worth the time commitment.
Bob may not love me, but I certainly love working with him. And I'll stick around until I'm driven out by the economy.
A note from Bob about the Weather Girl:
Here's the reality: the Weather Girl's a nut job. I mean, she seems all sweet and gentle on the outside, but I know the truth: she's insane. And because she's a redhead, at any moment, she can explode deadly wrath upon an unassuming victim. We have yet to have this happen at work, but I'm dreading the day.
Sometimes, when I make her do something she doesn't want to do (like clean out our animal traps or catalog my CD collection), she'll give me this look. This pitiful, "woe is me" sort of look.
It's one of those totally depressing womanly faces that no man should ever, under any circumstance, give in to.
Unfortunately, I've given in to it several times. With her big, blinky eyes and everything, I just want to grab a teddy bear, curl up next to her, and cry about what a bad person I've been.
But then I remember that I'm her boss, and she has to do what I say.
Or I can fire her.
And maybe I will someday.
