New Nickname

So I don't have much to write about today and I don't have much time to write it in. The only funny/interesting thing to surface today on the boss front is a new nickname my co-worker and I thought up.

I was talking about the fact that he always makes our patrons uncomfortable by attempting to get friendly with them. I have been told by more than a few patrons that they get really creeped out when he does this. This is especially a problem for the female patrons who get the sense he is trying to flirt with them. He's at least 3 times older than most of our patrons and looks 300% more like the grim reaper than anyone else you've ever met. Seriously, he looks like the very face of death, and he really creeps all of our patrons out. So I made a comment about how none of our female patrons want to talk to that toothless old bag of bones. My co-worker created the nifty acronym T-Bob, which stands for toothless bag of bones (Bonus points if you remembered that Scott Trekker's robot in M.A.S.K. was also named T-Bob).

So if you're scoring at home, the official list of nicknames for the boss man are as follows:

1) Skeletor (Our patrons are the ones who came up with this one)

2) The Hillbilly Undertaker (Compliments of his former co-workers)

3) T-Bob

Before I wrap this up and send you off, I have to tell you a little story. Before my co-worker came to work in this library, he used to see the boss man around campus. He thought the boss man was some sort of homeless tweaker who bought suits from Goodwill. Imagine my co-workers surprise when the homeless tweaker interviewed him for a job. Well, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I know I will because I won't be here at work.
