Jose’ can you see!
April 14th, 2007My favorite co-worker who has been with us since not long after I was hired is Jose. Jose is mexican but born and raised in chicago. Imagine that accent… Anyway a little background on the fella. He was hired in early february which in the northeast is downright fucking cold, and usually windy. We work on a dock which “can” be closed like a warehouse, but typically just on the weekend when we shut down. So Jose’s first day he comes in wearing a sweater, a flannel coat and jeans. If you’ve ever had a job you work outside in, this is the type of clothes you wear on your lunch break, inside. So after an hour I check in on him and he is standing straighter than a popsickle stick shivering his ass off and yes, I ask him: “Are you cold man?”, but to my surprise through his shaking and clenched teeth he says “Nnnoo”. Yeah tough guy….
