forwhy

There's a guy I work with that's probably the closest I have to a friend around here (outside of my roommate, of course).
Even though he works a different shift and we hardly see each other, I probably speak to him the most out of all my other co-workers.
And what's even more interesting is that I find myself trying to fight back a smile each time he talks to me.
I mean, it's not like I like him or anything (...okay, I had a small crush initially, but I'm over it).
All we ever do, for the most part, is talk about video games or other nerdy stuff.
Maybe that's why I smile... I sort of feel like he is a friend.

And it's a bit of a phenomena because at work, I'm in work mode.
There's things that we have to take care of. We can either talk about it or do it.
No idle chatter or horseplay (...I work around a bunch of painfully stereotypical straight men), let's just take care of what we need to in the most efficient manner.
What's fun though is recognizing the personalities of everyone I work with.
Despite them all being able to talk about sports or cars or women, they all behave differently.

I work with a spoiled brat and a 'Papa Bear' and a southern gentleman and a tough girl and a stupid sexy guy and an easy-going prankster...
Just a ragtag crew. Never a dull moment.
