Workers of the 'Co' Variety

I guess now is as good a time as any to delve into the interesting characters I have the pleasure of working with.
We'll begin with Pat. I love Pat. Pat is a woman in her early fifties who is very blunt. You can always count on her to speak her mind. Morning talks often include something to do with menopause or anything that may be associated with it. Pat has always looked out for me and she's always ready to share a good laugh.
There's also Bridget. She trained me and when I couldn't keep up or put the smokies in wrong and such she would fix them while my back was turned so I wouldn't notice. She's in her early 30's... maybe late 20's, I'm really not sure. She's loud, but then again everybody is.
Michelle makes me laugh all day long. She's in her early 40's. Now that woman can yell. She is always dancing or jokingly getting after someone or just yelling for the sake of yelling. She's definitely one of my favorite people to work with.
There's Tom who is our line operator. He is always on a power trip. He's this small little man who doesn't always think, but everything needs to be done his way even if it is less productive. We all have to stop and wait while Tom thinks things through... yup. Tom's a bit of a dink.
Cameron is also on my line. He's 19 and going to University in Edmonton next year as well so that should be fun. He's a nice guy. He always volunteers/is asked to go to another line, Cryovac, so we don't often work together, but he's always laughing and he's fun.
Ekaterina is a Russian who moved to Canada with her British husband. She is quiet and gentle and she has a heart of gold. Cliche I know, but I'm not joking.
Steven B is a quiet guy, but he's so helpful and such a hardworker. I haven't really talked to him much, but he says good morning to me sometimes.
And there is always Nancy. She is hilarious. She has bleach blond hair and she wears it in a really high pony tail. She is awesome! She also makes me laugh continuously.
Warren E is the last member of my line on Tiromat. He is also the First Aid Attendant. We often talk. He teases me about the guys at work and is trying to get me to go for coffee with one of the other guys at work. We have some good talks too though.

That is it for my line at work. There are many more people there that I may talk about later... but this is it for now.
