Stupid Coworkers and Stupid Music

Okay first of all, I'm living with my brother right now, and obviously I have to respect his desires....BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT MAKE ME LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING AMBIENT MUSIC. I hate techno, but I would rather listen to that. Something with a beat, and a melody, or SOMETHING. This is AMBIENT music, so electronic music that they play in the background of video games. This song I'm currently listening to has about three discordant notes and some kind of whoooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooo noise in the background that I can't even describe. Plus, he's listening to it from his television. He's in his room. I'm in the living room. Why does the TV even have to be on?

Okay, next thing. I'm back at the cafe, which I love. I love my bosses, I don't mind the work, and I love most of my coworkers.

Except for Graham.

He embodies every single element of douchebaggery that you can think of. Apparently he has sofas on his front lawn like some kind of white trash hillbilly. He also wears this weird little cap to work, like a yarmulke but it covers his whole head. I can't really describe it. He seems to think that we have one of those relationships where you tease each other and pretend to hate each other but deep down you harbour affection for the other person. I've had these. You make fun of each other but you know it's all in fun and that you're friends anyway.

This is not the relationship I have with Graham. I make fun of him and I appear to hate him, and this is for a good reason. I really do despise him with every fibre of my being. For one thing, he keeps making these jokes like, "Oh, you have a crush on me?" Any other person, I wouldn't care. I don't mind guys making jokes like that when they know you don't. It's all in good fun, right? Usually I would be like, "hell yeah, I have a HUGE crush on you!" or whatever. But Graham doesn't seem to realize that we are not nearly close enough to warrant that kind of teasing. He is a douchebag, and he thinks we're friends.

Yesterday my mind was blown/I felt really dirty when we kind of bonded. Namely, he told me about his career plans. And okay, whatever. It was a slow day and I kind of wanted conversation to kill the boredom. But he sounds like a walking cliche. He's all, "My family keeps me grounded, and they keep me happy in life blah blah blah If I wasn't working here I wouldn't have met the woman I love and I think I'm going to marry her blah blah blah." I DON'T CARE. You're mildly amusing because you sound like you're fresh off the Dr. Phil set, and you don't seem to know I hate you but please do not talk to me about your personal life when I don't even bother to mask my despise for you.

He thinks he's making jokes but he's not. To whit. Bobbi came in yesterday to visit and she mentioned her boyfriend and he asked if they had slept together. And okay, we both knew it was a joke, but how insanely inappropriate is that? You can ask your best friend that, sure, but not one of your coworkers who you would never even think of talking to outside of work.

Also, he gives these HUGE laughs when I say anything mildly funny. He came by with dishes and I was like, sarcastically, "thanks" because I didn't want anymore work. I do that to every cook who brings me dishes. And he fucking throws back his head in laughter. You'd think that would be an ego boost but it's just annoying and douchebaggy and I know I wasn't even being that funny anyway.

Anyway. I have to go to work now. I work with him today and tomorrow. Yay me.
