Snippits from a People Watcher: Bus Rides Are a Psyche Experiment

I noticed *this* on the seat in front of me, and took a picture for your amusement:

It's like little mini-Phineas Gages. Do you see something different?

Current Cast

Redgirl: It is I, student of courtreporting/eavesdropping and holder of full time job at The Vet Hospital where I am nice to animals AND small children. Because everyone is looking.

My ER Docs:

Dr. Aardvark
Dr. Bat
Dr. Fish
Dr. Tick

Minions at the Front:

Fifi: Short and opinionated. Has no patience with stupidity.

Lola: Senior at night reception. Can say the most outlandish things and then move on before you realize what just happened.

Bella: Service with a smile! calm with the most difficult client...outwardly.

Abby: Momma Bear of reception. Has all the experience clout necessary to go toe-to-toe with the heavyweights of difficult clientele

MexiGong Cast:

(updated: this is for the post-Inn lifestyle)

Redgirl: Your host and leading character in most of the drama to unfold. Let's see if she can make it through court reporting school unscathed!

Bums 1-∞: Mostly met on or around buses and bus stops. To be avoided at all costs.

Pedro: Generic name for any male at work. If I start differentiating, they'll get their own names.

Pedra: Generic name for any female at work. Ditto on the male advisory.

Annabel Lee: (in a kingdom by the seeeea...) Younger sister, now works at a local auditing office terorizing spreadsheets in SoCal, used to work at a non-specific superstore type that even has its own website featuring customers. Her Christmas list was featured in one post and made fun of.

In the Inn Players:

Lindsay: The GM, has our backs when things get wonky. Called as a last resort.

Boss: My immediate boss. Tries to avoid contact with the guests, has odd tasks for me at odd times. Also the only man I've ever called after 2am other than my father...

John: The full time day guy whom everyone likes; even the guests that can't get anything from him. Also cannot read a creep-o-meter to save his life (or mine).

Graygirl: The steely-eyed matriarch of our little front desk family. Able to stonewall annoying, complaining guests with surprising formality. When we need the heavy guns, she's it.

Greengirl: One of our newer members, the one who I work with if I'm doubled up. Good friend.

Nightgirl: Newest member, night auditor. Great customer service skills and we shall see what else....

Juan: The maintenance man usually on duty. I don't know how he does it.

and me

Redgirl: Who if you haven't figured it out by now is snarky, polite, and always up for a good time. Except if it involves spooning.
