Oh, no... No, they all knew me by then.
I'd come to work in outlandish clothing, get shitfaced on the job, sing over the intercom, etc...
They were well aware of who I was by that point. It wasn't a store, we made shoes there. I made women's high heeled shoes. I was good at it, 'cause I can follow directions. So, I was kinda important. I was a 'utility' worker, that worked in whatever department needed me. I didn't work in stitching, 'cause that takes too long to train properly.
I'd come to work with various hair styles or colors. (I was a performing musician at the time, in a few bands 'cause I really needed the money.)
I'd work on some pretty dangerous equipment, like eat-your-hand dangerous. More than once, I went to work while tripping sack. Yeah...
So, suffice to say, they already knew I was retarded!
LoL Well having you work there sure broke up the monotony of the day to day life in manufacturing
I was well-liked and, dare I say, respected.
We're talking the 80s, a rather wild decade for me. Then again, the 70s, 90s, 00s, and even the 10s were fairly wild decades for me.
But, in the 80s I was much more flamboyant - and not in a gay way. I'd hair that went to the small of my back and I'd sometimes spike it, so I had like 18" spikes, sometimes of various colors.
I had more holes in my ears than most women. I had a ring in my nose, my eyebrows pierced, and absolutely wore makeup on stage.
Shit, I can apply makeup (probably) better than your girlfriend... Well, I'm out of practice today.
I dont like my girlfriend to wear make up, so I am sure you can apply make up better than her.
