New Girl at Work
There is a new girl at work: Sharla. I ask Sharla where which dorm she is in (beause she is an incoming Freshman).
"Oh, I live off campus."
Strange, because she is not from the Lansing area. I delve further.
"How did you manage that?" I asks.
"I petitioned to live off campus, and they let me."
I continue to prod. "Well, which apartment complex do you live in, then?"
She replies: "Just a little one. It's close to campus. Right across from Hubbard."
For any MSU student, you know what that means. I've probably got a real live Mormon on my hands. But, I always give the benefit of the doubt. She hadn't asked me to "take a look at some of her literature." And she seemed OK. I've met lots of Mormons that were very cool (but usually easy to offend). Perhaps this would be one that would not have a problem with alternative lifestyles.
I ask to confirm her Mormon-hood, and she replies with a solid 'yes.'
Kelly then blurts out: "Do you want to have, like 50 kids, or something?" Kelly has never met a Mormon before, and hastily (and rudely) asks the first question on her mind.
I scold Kelly for being insesitive, and apologize to Sharla.
Sometime later...
I ask her if she had any hobbies.
"I play iced hockey."
That's cool. She's not afraid to knock a few girls' teeth out.
"Are you going to join the team?" I inquire.
She sure is, I find out. Cool. Then I mention that I had a friend on the team, but she left when she became really invovled with her girlfriend. Her face contorts.
"Eeeeew. That is SO GROSS."
*blink blink*
"You know, I've heard that a sigificant number of the team are lesbians," I inform.
"Ugh. I've heard. That's SO GROSS. I don't want any of them to hit on me." *Significant shuddering and disgusted looks*
And I'm through with Sharla. I can't believe I stood up for her. And now I have to work with her.
I've never met a girl that was so unapologetic for being a homophobe. I'm glad it never came up that I was gay before she had a chance to show her true colors. I'm sure it will come up soon enough, and I want her to be really uncomfortable when it does.
And I could see her underwear through her pants, the stupid cow.
