I once worked at a country music station in Kentucky with a DJ named Michael. Not Mike, Michael. Michael sounded like a combination of Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Randolph Scott, and Tyrone Power on the air. Unfortunately he was 6 foot 10 in any given direction, had a head that came to a point and forced total strangers to cross the street when he came in their direction. Dogs would lower their gaze and run off in the opposite direction.
Perhaps unsurprisingly he was also very devout. Now, exactly what religious affiliation Michael kept remains a mystery to this day because it was apparently against his religion to discuss his religion. All I do know for a fact is that Michael vehemently refused to celebrate any holidays whatsoever, and would actively tell you that he did not believe in Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Mardi Gras, or Cinco de Mayo, or Armistice Day, or even Clinique Bonus Days. No, in his estimation of the world all holidays were inherently evil and pagan in nature.
No telling what he thought of birthdays, though I cannot imagine him actually having one.
Michael had the remarkable ability to make everyone and everthing in a room uncomfortable just by stepping in. Believe me when I tell you that you always knew when he came in, even if you did not see or hear him enter. The atmosphere instantly soured, the music being played lost some of its tone, your blood ran a little colder. Plants would visibly wither after a day in his presence, much to the chagrin of our receptionist Mona who felt it her duty to protect every fern and poinsettia.
I will never forget the day he 'dismissed' me as being hellbound and unworthy of further notice. Upon finding out that I had every intention of leaving the station on a Sunday morning and celebrating Christmas with my family at home. At that point, something inside him snapped and he fixed me with the most malevolent glare I have ever seen. Then he said (in a voice that sounded like Alfred Drake on Enzyte);
"Pagan holidays...going to hell. I don't talk to you anymore."
And he didn't for the next 9 months I worked there.
Years later I heard that Michael had become some kind of church official and had left...society.

This one will be fun. I have a new boss who just left a cult. Nobody at work knows this...I started researching it after she talked about this so-called organization. She left the compound and works for the company we are with...but devotes her weekends still to this ridiculous cult like religion. She has even brought the cult leaders into the work place to meet everyone recently..scary people I tell ya. She lived in the compound for four years and my next line of research is to find out WHY she no longer lives there. Very odd.

there is no longer something particularily "huge" approximately it. The patties are candy tasting and don't flavor like actual grilled meat; they're very skinny. Has some cheese, lettuce, enormously elementary.

I worked in a nursing home with this Mexican girl who was about 28-years-old. She had several body piercings including nipples and clit. One morning, when I went into work one old man kept talking about the nurse who showed him her nipple rings. The news was all over work, but the RN's could not prove who it was, so she never got fired!

I'm in law enforcement. You got the time to go through every single incident I've ever gone through? They're all weird and fu`cked up equally.
