Most Popular

Like most staffs, we have our share of oddballs. There is one person in particular on our staff that grates on the nerves of everyone. She is caustic, overbearing, insensitive, and has inexcusable table manners. Her gruff personality makes conversing with her uncomfortable, and that's on a good day. She is also a bit of a storyteller.

Recently, she mentioned that she was one of the most popular people in her high school class. Based on how she behaves now, we found this to border juuuuust a bit on the ridiculous.

Since she wasn't in the lounge today, we did what any thoughtless and catty group of people would do. We talked about her behind her back. (No judging. You know you've done it too…) It was concluded there was only one way she could have been so popular.

She certainly does not mind talking about herself, and it's no wonder! (Evidently, we don't mind talking about her either…)

Man, I wish I could have been homeschooled.
