Apathy City
I don't care for everybody. Some people are so tedious and mundane that I just want to run away rather than hear them drone on about useless facts in their lives that have no relevance to me.
This is especially the case with middle-aged women, like at my work. I try to keep any communication between us to an absolute minimum. Any interaction between us is so artificial, it's like you can see we each have a fuzzy translucent that ensures there's no connection between us.
The crappiness of the conversation is also noticeable in the rate, pitch, and "choppiness" of the speech. A lot of times the words are snippy and fast, very fabricated. And we speak one pitch higher than in normal conversations, like you would when you ask someone at a store behind a counter for something.
I asked for a 7-layer burrito and Chalupa with beans today at taco bell. I'm regretting it now, my stomach is not big enough for all that. Also, I saw the ugliest woman I've ever seen in my life working there. She's short (less than 5'), wide (about 3'), and she had sideburns. Big, unkempt sideburns. She's even uglier than the woman at my work who I had previously thought was the ugliest woman in the world. If i can figure out how to stealthily take pics with my camera phone without a loud 'snap' noise going off, you'll see them both soon.

I have two things i wanna say. First, I think you should have had a better transition between both of yoru stories. I did, however, enjoy the realistic descriptions of people, though.
The other thing I observed is that you have a lot of comments about the people you work with. Like, you seem to have an inferiority complex and don't want to seem below anyone, like your bosses. And you definitely want to seem above the secretaries. That is good in a way because it is a good drive to make you do something worthwhile, but at the same time it's very reminiscent of my "I'm better than you" 10 year old days.
I'd like to see an article of people you admire or want to be like. Or people you associate yourself with. I see more than enough writings of people you hate, so it'd be an interesting change.
