The people where I work are generally very odd. So much so, that I would like to share them with you all. Sometimes when I get stuck for a character, I'll draw things from the crazies that I work with. It would be bad news to talk about the people at work to other people at work, so I'll make fun of them here. 
Each day I'll tell you all about a new one, probably whoever is getting on my nerves that day. Today I'll start with Teresa #2.
This woman owns every piece of jewelry that QVC has ever made.
She wears it all at once. You can hear her coming because of all the bangles and such. I swear.
She has the contents of a small kitchen in her desk drawers including, but not limited to:
a loaf of bread
a jar of pickles
a jar of mayonaise (shouldn't this be in the fridge?????)
a jar of mustard
several bags of candy
one of those 24-pack things of Pepsi
I know I have seen at least 4 different kinds of chips
String cheese (again, I ask, the fridge????)
a box of fruit roll ups
moon pies
This woman's mouth is constantly running. She's always into everything. She lives to get others into trouble. If someone drops a piece of paper on the other side of the building, this woman will get up, go over there, lecture the person about not dropping paper, talk about how she NEVER drops paper, inform the person's supervisor that said person is slipping in the quality of their performance, and then go back to her desk and tell the people in her department the story of the "great-paper-catastrophe" and how she saved the day at least seven times...before lunch.
When she calls outside of the office to one of our treatment centers, she gets LIVID when the person she's talking to doesn't immediately know who she is. She starts yelling "... this is TERESA! From the administrative office!!! How long have you worked here??!"
Once, a guy who you will learn more about later, ran over her toes with a cart that he was taking to the warehouse. The cart had one box on it. She screamed bloody murder and showed up three days later back at work with a bandage and crutches.
I am sure you will get more stories about this woman in the days to come, she's always doing something stupid or annoying...
