Note: At my work, almost everyone there is between the ages of 18-25. The ones who are older aren’t really involved in this post, except for one guy, who is 30 something.

I know drinking alcohol is fun and it’s good. I, myself, love to have a mai tai or margarita once in awhile. However, I don’t get pissed drunk every weekend. That is so not the case for some of my co-workers.

For some reason, they all party together, get drunk together and then sleep with each other. I would leave for months at a time and when I come back, I hear stories of how this person slept with this person and then with this person…and so on and so forth.

The saddest story that I’ve heard involves this guy named, Loren, who is 30 something. Loren is the sweetest person ever, but he has insecurity issues. He has been with the company for 10 years and he does not have the nerve to quit, apply for manager position or anything. I think he just feels safe being where he is. Anyway, a lot of the person at work don’t like him because they think he talks a lot and is dumb. I don’t think so. I think he’s just really nice, friendly, and have no self-esteem. Then there’s this girl named Jessica. She’s about 19-21 (I don’t know her exact age). Anyway, she’s nice, pretty, and kind of gothic-like.

So Lorene and Jessica were at a party one night and they both got drunk. Then they slept together. Apparently, they started dating. I’m not sure on the whole detail of their relationship. However, I do know that he really likes her. Jessica, on the other hand, was also seeing 2 other guys.

Several months ago, Loren’s father past away so he was gone for a week or so. During that time, Jessica found out that she was pregnant and so she got an aborption while Loren was away. Also, since Jessica was dating 2 other guys, she did not know who was the father of her baby. Everyone at the store knew what happened, except for Loren. No one wants to tell him because they don’t want to hurt his feelings. It’s so sad.

Then there’s this other guy named, who slept with a few girls at work. So did this other guy, who used to work there. The trend is: party, get drunk, then have sex with your co-workers. That’s apparently the theme of our store.

Another story involved two supervisors (Sarah and Jon) and an employee (Ann). This is the story that inspired this post. So Sarah is our supervisors in the bookstore and Jon is our supervisor in the cafe. Ann is Jon’s employee. So Sarah and Jon were in a relationship. Although, I don’t know why Jon would like Sarah because she’s a moodly, blunt, lazyass. Jon isn’t a catch either, but he’s not like her, in fact, the opposite of Sarah. I didn’t think Jon liked Sarah because he never showed it. So they were dating for a few months. Until Sarah found out that Jon slept with Ann at a party when they were drunk. Jon denied it and said that Ann is making stuff up and that she’s crazy. However, Jon ended up quiting his job and Sarah and Ann were butting heads. I heard that Sarah was bossing Ann around. So Ann applied for his position and got the job. In addition, my friend is talking to Jon online and they’re flirting like crazy. Oh God!

Let me tell you, there’s never a boring moment at that place. When I’m not hearing gossips, I deal with stupid customers.
