Gossip

Have you heard about that flirt Nellie? Why, sure – she’s having an affair with the cook at the deli! Have you heard about that slacker Bob? Uh-huh – he got fired because he was the laziest guy on the job! (Laughter) Have you seen Mrs Miller’s kitty? Oh, my – it’s the ugliest cat in the city! Have you seen the new lifeguard Dan? Of course – there’s nothing on Earth faker than his fake tan! (Muffled giggles) Do you know that guy with the nose ring, Shawn? Yes – he’s dating that girl with tattoos, Dawn! Do you know about Dawn? Sure – she dumped her fiancé to be with Shawn! (Disgusted grunts) Where there are women, there is gossip. As a person, as a man, I cannot tolerate them anymore. By the way, have you heard about Ella, Beth and Call? Well, I’m going to fire them all!

This is wonderful, funny write that made me smile but it also rang through with my job and all the women that I work with. Girls are gossipers, but I love been around them. I really love this work.
