Since the projects have been shuffled, we lost Weird Office Guy to the new ISP project. But don't have a telethon for us. There are plenty more where he came from.
Enter WOG2. A little back story. Every Friday the Muslims in our project take off around 1:30 for prayers at a local rec center. A few of them will dress in traditional garb for the occasion. (sort of, but not quite like the pic on the left) I was walking by WOG2 and did a double take. WTF? Is he wearing pajamas? Over his clothes? I just shake my head.
This does not go unnoticed by the rest of the project. Potsie pipes up. "What is up with WOG2?"
Ok, not to pick on the weirdos, I defend him, "Well, its Friday, maybe he is going to prayers."
"Is he even Muslim?" White dude, middle aged, with a forehead that reaches almost to the back of his head, and not in a sexy 'Captain Pickard' sort of way...you get me? More like, 'I am bald but I will grow my hair long so you don't realize I am bald' sort of delusional way."Maybe he has converted? Either that or he is just insane." I go about my business, but in the back of my mind, I have to find out this guy's deal. I was sure he was just going to prayers with the rest of them. Why would anyone risk public humiliation if not for religion?
It doesn't take me long to get the scoop. "Hey, remember WOG2? Ya, he is not going to prayers. Turns out he is just insane."
"That's a relief."
"He went on vacation in Africa. This is his Friday suit. Says that while he was there, he made it with a princess and apparently we will all be bowing down to him when he is ruler of the continent." I get a blank stare from Potsie.
"I kid you not. Dude is seriously ill. He says that shit with a straight face."
I think I will have to investigate deeper. How do people like this function in society? I mean, most of the Uber Geeks are a bit nutty buddy, we take it for granted. But our little 'geek central' hasn't been open more than 5 years. What was this dude doing before this?This shit fascinates me.

What's a WOG and a WOG2? Sorry, I don't get the lingo.
We have a guy that works at the Hard Rock who says that he is getting an inheritance of six figures and tries to sell everyone on kabala. He's our resident werido.
Theres a little pink badge waiting for you.....
OMG... you are never going to believe what I did! I applied to NSCC for next year - Human Services with a concentration in Educational Support and a possible third year in Early Child Development!!!!!
seriously... i am speechless.
and altho nothing in comparison, it reminds me of the one we have here who is on contract, but who wants to schedule vacation days off AFTER the end of the contract date.
i kid you not.
I bet he's the idiot who keeps sending out e-mails about being Prince Mwbwata from some Nigeria. He wants my bank account, but I just give him the finger.

Knowing this particular "undisclosed customer service center", WOG2 is going to be an operations manager someday. Seriously, he sounds just like the type they like to promote to that level.
And they wonder about moral... lol
Hey Val....I will have to go deeper into the psyche of the WOG. Otherwise I will be forced to blog about UberGeek and his Wii boxing performance the other day....talk about being burned in your retina.
