Robo Hobo Homo #040

The lobby is also the guy who signs people in. He gives folks their first orientation, checks their names against those of known sex offenders, asks them about weapons, sets up their bedding, issues linens. It's important stuff.

Granted, you're not quite an authority. Everyone here is pretty much on the same level. One of the guys working desk, I'll call him Mark Trail for reasons you'd agree with if you ever saw him in person, asked another guy, Troy, to leave the desk area. Now, I only picked up this conversation after they started yelling at each other, so I don't know how it started.

None the less, Troy didn't appreciate being asked to leave and Mark didn't appreciate him not leaving when asked so they argued about it and eventually Troy accused Mark of being a racist which marked the point where you knew there wasn't going to be an amicable solution.

I was within earshot, but in another area at the time and it was the first argument I've heard since coming here. As I continued working on my executive sales position application, I heard them continuing to snipe at each other over the course of the next few hours.

So I'm not worried about standing desk because at least there's a bottom on this thing.
