Take a bunch of strangers; ask them to rely on each other and most times they will congeal into a functioning, working group of friendly acquaintances. Maybe they will be uncomfortable. Maybe they won’t.
Like the one, I recently joined.
It surprises me how well we meld together when the personalities and lifestyles are so different. Within our group we have:
- A young woman who exudes this wonderful exotic and energetic vibe. She runs a karaoke business and, in her spare time, plans and executes burlesque shows.
- Another young woman, pregnant and due any day, sparks up her face with rings and bells and gothic-ish eye make-up. She has another heavy load. It’s called Aspergers.
- One shy peach of a fellow suffers from Autism.
- Then there’s the older geezer who was a pianist on cruise ships for 23 years.
- There is a former taxi driver from Vancouver. Things can get wild when she’s the designated driver. . .
- Can’t forget the elf of a fellow with a natty sense of humor who carves beautiful things from driftwood.
- Or the teacher of English,
freshly back from 10 years in China. - As well as scads of college/university students popping in and out, working for extra monies.
I could go on but this small portion shows what I love about this group. Variety that most times wouldn’t work together but in this weird job does. Watching this group interact can be as entertaining as going to the movies — only here I’m being paid to watch.
Yah for the humans! We are such a fascinating study.

My dad always said “variety was the spice of life” But working with that much variety could be a handful. Sounds like it’s definitely entertaining. The tales you will be able to write with an odd assortment of characters built in. 🙂
