[mood |I want a wine cooler real bad]
[music |Kane Hodder - Last of the Anti-Facist Warriors]

Since she started over a month ago, Vanicia, the new AR girl, has been a bit of an odd bird. At first, I blamed it on her odd accent and the fact that she receives phone calls from Kenya. Even her constantly asking me non-work related questions that I don't know the answers to like directions to Milan, Michigan or The Sommerset Mall can be easily dismissed. However, today has opened my eyes to just how bizarre/possibly awesome? (haven't decided yet) she really is.

It's 8:15 AM, I'm trying to discreetly check my E-mail while making it look like I'm printing up invoices when Vanicia shows up at my desk with a glass bottle no doubt filled with the latest juice/iced tea popular with the kids, and, obviously, the adults. She presents it to me and I at first mistake it as a gift, then she asks, "are you strong enough?"

Naturally, I open it within seconds, however, while doing so, I curiously read the label. Not juice, not tea, I currently hold in my hands a WINE COOLER.

Now while I realize that Wine Coolers are the nerf guns of the liquor world, she is clearly violating company code, as well as drinking at 8:15 AM. WTF?

As I opened up the bottle, it fizzed all over me and the table, she wiped it up while I licked my hand to give her the benefit of a doubt. Yep, definitely a wine cooler.

I told my mom the story almost immediately, she suggested telling a supervisor, I informed her that I wasn't a tattletale and that she clearly wasn't concealing it, let someone else get her in trouble. I caught the Vice President of the company walking around her cube, I'm sure he saw it, maybe that's why Vanicia's all of a sudden "taking tomorrow off". Maybe the Vice President walked in on her like I did, sitting at her cube, talking on the phone, and chugging, literally chugging, the wine cooler.

The best/worst part was that she didn't even realize how against policy/socially unnacceptable her behavior was, I wish I could be like that.

Maybe I don't.

I do, I don't, I will, I won't

I say I do

But I know...

Ha, your coworker sounds pretty fun. You should ask her what her personal choices for seven Jeopardy categories would be.
