Co-worker profiles

Our office is like a revolving door. It's rare for most people to work for longer than 2 years. The same is true for most of the workers in my team. Out of the 10 people in the group, only 2 of them have stayed longer than 2 years. Anyway, here's a list of the people that I work with the most, so not the whole team. These are just (very) short profiles, as you will notice I gave them all nicknames:



Archie: Archie's my boss. I get along quite well with him, although we never hang out or anything. He's worked there for about a year and a half now. I get around 20+ e-mails a day from him, and the question he most often asks me is, "didn't you read my e-mail about this??!!"



Clouseau: A Walloon from Brussels. He loves to talk and can't say anything without having a complete conversation about it. He's worked for our team for 3 months, and he really ought to know most of the stuff already, but sometimes it's like his first week. He's an intelligent guy, but his mental compas is all over the place and he can't really concentrate for very long. He gets on my nerves most of the time, but I realize he's a decent enough guy and he tries his best.



Mrs. Dracula: I give her this name because she's from Transylvania and she loves horror movies. She's nice enough, but is very cynical and sarcastic. She complains a lot about Clouseau and Snowball, they sit in the cubicles on the right and left of her, respectively. She's competent and knows what she does at work. She joined a month before I was hired.

Snowball: He's from Poland. He has a small family, is studying for his masters degree and works full-time. He's often quickly stressed at work, and I get the impression he's not a big fan of work in general and gets in trouble a lot with Archie. He loves anything chocolate. He's an alright guy but he's very insecure and gets confused often.

There are also other people in my team, but I don't really work with them much. However, these are the people that I rely on, and that I interact with the most in regards to the work I do. I'll write another post about some of the other people in my office in a while.
