I have a tendency of categorizing people. Especially people I dont know. You can call it unfair if you want, but I'm usually very good at judging peoples character. And when coming to a new job its not really that easy to learn and remember 20 new names. So in my mind I refer to them by the petname I have given them that reflect their character. This is what I've got so far.
* The bullshitter - This is the guy that you know as soon as he is opening his mouth bullshit will come out of it. Everything he says should be taken with a mountain of salt. Even though he's not rude or anything, its just in his nature to exaggerating stuff, usually stuff about himself to make him seem more important than he really is.
* The "I'm living in the past" - A nice guy in his mid 40's that is stuck in his youth. He got long hair and listening to heavy metal extremely loud all day. When talking to him he always talks about the stuff he did 20 years ago, and seem to miss those days dearly. Never say a word about his thought of his future.
* Mr. Nice guy - Also a very nice guy. But afraid of conflicts, most of the time just agree with what others say. He dont have any opinions about anything, or he keeps his opinions to himself. It would take alot of effort to get his personal opinion about anything.
* The grumpy boss - I dont know much about him, I do know his name though, but I'm still thinking of him as the grumpy boss. He really look grumpy every time I've talked to him. But who knows, maybe its just that he dont like me, or maybe he just looks like that.
* The old man - Dont know much about him, and I probably wont get the chance to get to know him either. Since he is old enough to retire next week.
* Uncle speed - He is a man in his mid 50's I think. Very nice man, I think he is some sort of foreman at my work. I think of him as uncle speed, because he is always on his way somewhere else. I've never once caught him beeing still for more than a millisecond, sometimes I wonder if he is on something illegal.
* Party dude - 25 year old guy, the youngest at the company. Always planning for the next party. Half the time when he goes to work, he hasnt slept in his own bed. Funny guy to talk to though.
Well, this is just some of the people I'm working with. And they are all actually good and nice people, despite their flaws. And its funny to listen to them, it makes a boring job more bearable. So far so good, I'm a bit curious though about what they think of me! hehe.
