So here is a picture of where I work. It may not look exciting but I will say this….there is no where I would rather be. I was here maybe a day and the staff was already treating me like one of their own. The manager is a super nice guy and is always making sure his staff is in a good mood. He is a boss still; when he has to, be but I know he is the kind that you can come to no matter what and with any problem you have. Then there are my floor managers. There are four of them. Four completely different people so let me break it down for you. So Lisa is pretty cool, she is super nice and one of the sweetest people I have met in a long time. If I ever need any time off or need some help in a department I know I can call her and she will do everything she can to assist me. Then there is Marshall he comes across as a guy who likes to horse around a lot but he has a sweet side too. Like the other day when it was pouring down with hail and I was getting out of my car with no jacket. He was outside and met me at my car, took his sweater off and used it to cover my head so I would not get soaked. His taste in music is similar to mine which is cool and he has a wicked sense of humor. One more. Steven. Steven is a guy I find talking to a lot. We just sort of clicked. He is the one I call on a lot because he is so patient with me. Even tho I ask some pretty stupid questions. He just gives me a hard time later. Which is fun too. You know when you meet someone and you just talk about anything and everything. Yeah well for some reason he is that kind of a person. Then there is Rob….. sigh. What to say about him. He knows nothing. At least that is what he keeps telling me. All in all he is a nice guy, a guy that likes to have a good time on the weekend and then we exchange stories of what we did. He has an awesome sense of humor and seems to be really sweet too.

Okay so now let me tell you about the rest of the crew I know. There is the furniture guy Dave, this guy has a mind that is fit for the gutter, but I find him immensely funny. He doesn’t mean any harm and I find he thinks a lot like I do. I call him my big teddy bear because he is the only one to give me a big bear hug every time I see him. It makes my day. SIGH…….Anyway back to the story. Then there is the gay cashier Brett, which is just awesome because he is….awesome. Sorry people this is one I can’t explain. You have to meet him to know why I love him so much. The other two cashiers are super nice and helpful too. So who do I have left……? Ah, the copy center guy. Blaise. I have to admit I was thrown off by him at first, but I will; not get into that on here. Then when I was thrown in here to train with him I was pleasantly surprised by his kindness and caring attitude. He is so patient with me and is always making sure I am doing okay. I find he is the one person in here that I have bonded with. He not only is my coworker but he is my friend too. Out of every one here he is the sweetest person here. I can honestly say I love the person he is. I am so luck to work in a place like this and am not going to leave this place. You know even tho I took a pay cut and am not working as much as I did, I would not change it because I love the people here. So if you ever are in the neighborhood, swing by Office depot and meet some of the craziest but friendliest people in Calgary including me.
