Question by senzuri: Have you ever had any weird, psycho or creepy co-workers?
When I was a sales clerk at Tower Records, I had quite a few, er, interesting co-workers, including quite a few who were simply not adjusted to the adult world. But the two particular ones that come to mind are “Rob” and “Maria.”

“Rob” was once a DJ and the manager of a small indie techno record store, but by the time he came to Tower when I was there, he was homeless, he often smelled, and he may have been a drug addict. I wonder exactly what happened to make him have such a mighty fall.

“Maria” was a Czech immigrant who had apparently been a concert pianist ten years before. I’m guessing her career was probably derailed by her alcoholism. She spoke awful English despite having been in America for a decade, she didn’t know how to use any computerized equipment, and she got fired after a week for wandering around aimlessly while drunk on the job.
