One of my favorite coworkers (cute metalhead girl who likes Dream Theater who's like 10 years older than me) refered to me as her friend last night. Totally made my day / night.
Aaaaand?. There's gotta be more to this story, bring it
Nothing more
I don't make friends easily... Most of my coworkers and dispatchers are in their early 20s. I'm 31. We don't click. I mean we all get along just fine but the age difference is pretty glaring... (even though it's not that drastic of a difference if you're just looking at numbers)...
There's 2 dispatchers I get along with pretty well...
One being the girl my age whom trained me when I started... I'm pretty sure at that point she was barely considered a seasoned driver and I was probably one of the first people she trained). She's super sweet. Also incredibly attractive (yes I'm in a relationship... One can find people attractive without trying to get into their pants
).
And the other is a bit younger than me... But we get along pretty well because she's a sarcastic bitch who can take my constant sarcasm and jokes and shoot them right back at me. We established that relationship fairly quickly.
And then there's maybe 2 or 3 other drivers who's I really click with. The aforementioned cute metalhead chick who hates people as much as I do, another dude who's about my age who has become one of our drivers (who's looking to leave), and then this younger girl. I think she's like 24? Super attractive. Piercings. Tats. She's actually the best friend of the former head dispatcher girl (who left a while back... I may have had a huge crush on her)... And I think we get along so well because we went through peak season together last year and she was always the person bailing my slow ass out when I was behind (I was always behind last peak season)... And I would wind up giving her all of the awesome baked goods and treats that customers on the route I had would give me. Pretty sure I'm the only dude under 40 there who ISN'T trying to get into her pants.
There have been a few other coworkers that I've gotten along with pretty damn well whom I'd consider friends but they've all left. One move to a different company within the station that i see occasionally in passing, and the other just kind of... Disappeared 🤣
So uhh... Not more to the story. She purposely takes my favorite parking space in the mornings and I park next to her, over the line like an asshole, because I know she does it to bug me. We usually wind up talking for a bit after our routes if we end up finishing at the same time. Definitely nothing more going on there
