Stinky Pizza

Today we had a big quarterly meeting. They served pizza and cokes. I went and got my pizza, put it down in my seat (very few people were sitting down at this point, so I picked an arbitrary spot to sit) and went to get my drink. I came back and sat down. Moments later, the most socially odd guy at work came and sat down next to me. He's a nice guy, but very strange and creepy. It's really hard to explain. He's just a weirdo and he's always trying to talk to me and I have nothing to say to him because he's off in his own creepy world. I'm really not being mean, Arthur can vouch for me. He will know who this is without me even naming names.

For instance, he will go cook some ramen noodles and then take them out to his car and eat them with the windows rolled up and the heat/air off (even on the hottest summer day). Just odd.

Anyway, he sat down next to me, but had the courtesy to leave a seat in between us. In addition to his social awkwardness, he apparently hasn't showered since about August. Even the seat between us didn't spare me the B.O. aroma. I couldn't finish my pizza.

I griped at my team leader afterwards and told him it was his duty to come be a buffer anytime he saw this guy sit near me. He took on a look of fear and said he couldn't do that.

I need some REAL friends at work.
