Bob is an 85-year-old Walmart greeter, a classic Bob, an every-bob. You know Bob. Everyone likes Bob, but everyone also thinks it might be best if Bob just stayed home and relaxed instead of tempting his own health by hauling himself to work every day. Take it easy for once, Bob. You're still here, Bob? The worry is that Bob might have a major medical episode right there on the tile.
Tomorrow: Bob! Hello, Bob! Go home, Bob!
The next day: Bob? Again, Bob? My goodness, Bob.
The day after that: Oh Bob...
Bob smiles and nods wearily, but Bob isn't listening. Bob has work to do.
Bob wakes up every morning and hobbles out to his car. Bob drives through terrible weather. Bob works day after day even though he doesn't really need to.
Julie is Bob.
At least at my job I can lay down on a couch if I need to. However, I'm sick of being a Bob as well. The other day a woman actually gasped in my presence!
