Gene worked the graveyard shift with Pete. They were both about the same age, older than the rest of us. They were mostly fire watch so didn't have to do any real mechanical work. The office was in the boiler room way down in the sub basement.

Now at the time of this story the building was partially still under construction and everything was still under warranty. because of this we weren't supposed to touch or fix anything, just make a call if something went down.

One morning the phone rang and Gene answered it.

"Engineers Office, Gene speaking."

"Do you know the lawn sprinklers are running all over the road?"

"No, but thanks for the heads up, I will make the call right away."

"Call? I want you to turn that water off right now."

Now, like I said Gene is a pretty laid back guy and he tried to explain nicely, but that wasn't going to work this day.

"I don't care about all of that! I WANT THAT WATER TURNED OFF RIGHT NOW! i WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT WATER!"

"You would?"

"YES I WOULD!!"

Whatchoo gonna do with all that water?"

Gene could get stupider faster than any man alive.

I never lived in Tampa. I was on the other side of the state.

Rich was a nice enough guy, but his elevator didn't go all the way to the top floor. In fact, his nickname was Gzerp.

One day we were all sitting in the break room and Gzerp was holding a spoon and looking at it, then at his arm. After about 10 minutes he asked; "So, how do Heroine addicts get the spoon in their veins."

See what I mean about his elevator?

Well we had one fat woman who always was calling about it being too hot or too cold in her area. I mean every single day. Well, Rich was on phone duty.

"Engineers Office, this is Rich."

"This is (name forgotten)."

"Hi."

"I am freezing my ass off up here."

"Ooh! That's a lot of freezing."

click.

Rich was banned from desk duty after that.
