I have to know, did he have multiple nested backups?

This is the one I try to limit conversations with because lurking under the surface of the crazy is full-blown racist asshole who straightfacedly responds to anything I've ever seen on the Internet that contradicts her viewpoints with "You can't trust the liberal media. They hack the videos so you only see what they want you to see." She also believes cops can do no wrong and that racism is non-existent.
Basically I try to keep the poking of the lunatic to a minimum.
Well looks like I'll be getting an hour overtime a day starting next week, ending once we find a temp or a replacement for the temp who is leaving tomorrow.
My boss did give me the option of working 8-5 instead of 7-5, but I opted for the extra hour because of 1) extra pay and 2) I like the drive to work being fairly quick.

Got to work about 20 minutes ago, saw a check for a delivery and a post-it attached the read "Ryan- I ran to S-Way*".
Which at first my brain translated to "Ryan- I ran away".
This is goddamn magical. The other coworker has successfully convinced the crazy coworker she's not actually a conservative (she is) and now she's in a miniature existential crisis.

No this is someone who doesn't actually know what a conservative is. Literally does not know what makes someone a conservative ("A conservative is someone who's passionate about what they believe in, like I am."). The other coworker is gaslighting her with a dictionary.
As heard from a coworker speaking to another coworker. Coworker is the Joe Arpaio supporter with a heavy Christian bent.

Other Coworker: "Uhhhh..."

Me: "Render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar."

No, Jesus Christ and Caesar were different people. Keep up!
I knew a guy who was adamant that Jesus was actually Julius Caesar's son
Julius Caesar was posthumously recognized as a god, and had 44 whole years after his assassination before the birth of Jesus to sort out the right god trick to do an immaculate conception, setting up his son/new mortal incarnation perfectly to be executed under the authority of a successor of his old incarnation, all in fulfillment of his ineffable plan. Also, they have the same initials. Q.E.D.

I can't even make this up.
Is it gaslighting then?
I feel like it's more about the psychological effect rather than, like, it having to actually be a lie.
Although I guess it might be more accurate to say this coworker gaslighted themselves.

It sounds more like a gaslight went out, long ago, during some really crucial phase in that coworker's childhood, and nobody noticed the leak for like a while.

I was going to post this in the U Mad? thread, but this has just gone past frustrating to funny now.
The newest hire, still doesn't get it, just does not fucking get it.
I just heard from a coworker that dude was trying to get her close kitchen shift Tuesday night, which she denied. So he decided to come in and drink instead. Makes total sense. He proceeds to get drunk, like ya do, and decides to hang out in the tiny kitchen with his beer (not really legal/appropriate) and bitch about me to the cook while she has a full rack of tickets up. He's under the impression that the sole reason I do not like him is that he was late for every shift for a month. One of which was when he was TWO HOURS late. I know, I should have made an executive decision right then, but I'm an idiot, I blame myself that he's still here. THEN he starts going on about how we should have a Caesar salad on the menu, but he supposes he has to work here another 3 years before he can start making changes. This whole time the cook is busting ass trying to get through orders and this guy is wandering around her only exit lane going off on me and the menu and oh my god what planet is this guy from?
It is positively mind blowing that this guy thinks these things. Yes, part of the reason I do not care for this person is his disdain for punctuality, but he's also self important, barges in to conversations, burns about 60% of the food he cooks, and at every opportunity he is out on a smoke break.
It's also very funny to me that he thinks he's going to be working here in 3 years.
See I got promoted and my new boss wants me ASAP, but my current bosses won't give me up until eventually sometime. They won't give beer an actual date and keep telling me it's the fault of a guy who just wrote even though he put his two weeks in. It's their fault for hiring someone who can't start until June 5th as far as I'm concerned. So now my new boss went to her boss who is going to talk to my bosses boss about nee getting there sooner. Meanwhile I still haven't been told what my new pay rate will be.
So today at the high school they are, in conjunction with the local police force, doing their Every Fifteen Minutes activity.
Every fifteen minutes they play a muffled heart-beat over the intercoms. Then somebody dressed up as a grim reaper walks the school, and plucks a student out of a classroom. That student then goes over to the library where the theater & art teachers apply make-up to have them look deceased. The student is then returned to their class and for the rest of the day they do no work, they don't talk and then just sit/walk around silently.
At the end of the day we have an assembly where the whole school gathers out at the parking lot to observe a simulated crash scene.
Oooh boy...
What the fuck
