I work with a gal, single mom of 3 kids, always money problems. She's the one who went to Mexico over Christmas because it was her mom's birthday and came back into the office with COVID. Didn't want to take time off because "she couldn't afford it after being on vacation".
She's constantly late for work, today it was because of a "flat tire". Last week and the week before it was a dead battery and she was waiting for someone to give her a jump.
I go into her office last week and see a little puppy sleeping under her desk.
Me: "Whose dog?"
Her: "It's my oldest son's puppy."
Me "Is she a French Bulldog?"
Her; "Yes, her name's Charlie."
Me; "French Bulldog eh? Aren't they kind of expensive?"
Her: "Yes but my son's best friend had the puppies. I was able to get her for only $4,500, the others went for $6-7,000."
Me: "Ooohhkay."
