job posting for stressful job goes viral

[Sympthsical]

24. God, I know these people

Not these people specifically. Although, I might do. SIL's partner is friends with a lot of winery owners whom I've met.

But I live next to Napa. A lot of friends and in-laws there, and I spend no minor amount of time hanging about the area. I know this type. I have met this type often.

My background is working class, down to earth, unassuming Midwesterner. When I relocated here many moons ago, I had a phrase for these types. "Wacky Californians" It's just a specific type of person who's into all sorts of goofy, holistic, astrological, meditative, deep spiritual connection, alternative medicine craziness. I don't mean as side hobbies or interests. I mean as a Type A, full-speed ahead, making professional decisions based upon, I will recruit everyone into my insanity if it kills me," kinds of people. (They're also often anti-vaxxers, fyi).

I am always on the look out for these types, because they absolutely slay me. When I realize I'm about to have a conversation with one, I get all excited, feet moving up and down like an engaged puppy. My partner just rolls his eyes and walks away. When I worked in East Bay (specifically Berkeley), I met them all the time.

But this is sheer gloriousness. This is the pinnacle of my long search for Wackiest Californian. Finally. It is done. I have seen the Wackiest Californians.

And now I can rest.
