Hello again RHU'ers. It's Eve Dallas again, back with another tale from Reapers-R-Us. My dear, darling Shepard has once again told me of a crappy co-worker, but this time it is someone else. We shall name him Arsehole, for that is what he is.
And we have little to no imagination sometimes.
Let me set the scene, my friends. It's early morning, and the place is swamped. They are down one worker and my man is behind the bar, running his arse off trying to keep up with the customers who have suddenly become desperate for food. Arsehole, who can see Shepard needs a hand, does the noble thing, deciding to sacrifice his time and energy to help my man in his time of need!
Oh shit, no. Sorry, wrong ending, forgot how shitty co-workers could be sometimes.
What I meant to say was that Arsehole decided to choose that moment to go on his break, 'cause Shepard seems to be having so much fun he doesn't want to spoil it. For added entertainment on Arseholes part, he sits directly infront of the bar and watches Shepard running around like a bankrupt Volus (obligatory Mass Effect Joke). My man spends the next half an hour running food out to custy's, serving people at the bar and receiving food orders While doing his best not to shout out at the top of his lungs "YOU FUCKING LAZY WANKER!" It is manic, and he somehow manages to survive.
Cut to the next day. Shepard has done the right thing and complained to the manager. Next thing you know Arsehole comes up to Shepard and, in no uncertain terms, asks him where he has been. Shepard says he has been doing his job, which is running food to the custy's. Arsehole smirks and says that HE hasn't seen Shepard running food anywhere, or seen Shepard at all that day, so where has he been hiding?
Shepard, fed up with the conversation already, says "Fuck you," and walks off to carry on his job.
Throughout the course of the day, Shepard asks his other, non arsehole coworkers if what Arsehole had said was true. Namely if they had seen him or not. Turns out they all saw Shepard doing the runs, and that Arsehole is talking out of his...well, arse. That and the CCTV footage should destroy any and all claims this idiot makes. I wish Arsehole luck.
Not.
I shall leave you for now, my friends, but shall return with stories from beyond the grave soon, for working in a nursing home has given me so many delightful stories.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Eve Dallas signing out.

Sounds like Shepherd (shouldn't he be Roarke?) has things well in hand. Good for his coworkers for having his back, too.

Lol "doing the runs" made me giggle and imagine people watching Shepard have diarrhea.

Sounds like Arsehole needs a good falcon punch in the nuts.
Also, now I need to go read more JD Robb.

If I called him Roarke, he may actually kill me. We just decided that he had to be called Shepherd because of his Mass Effect addiction. J.D Robb is one of my addictions. Hence the name Eve Dallas.
