repetitive conversations

I don't write a lot about what I do mostly because it would probably come across as mean rather than funny...But there's one guy here, he's kind of 'low functioning' and he is determined to find me a husband no matter how many times I tell him I'm happy as I am. I bring this up because he just walked by my desk clapping and giggling because his driver just came to pick him up and he's the latest poor soul in michael's pool of "available men" for me.
It's kind of like being in charge of a bunch of 45-50 year old 2nd graders.
Most of the time it's charming, but there are the days when I have to tell people to not wipe boogers on the table or pull their pants up or for the love of GOD! no more sailor moon porn (oh that's gonna get some hits for sure) on the computer.
There's another girl who is obsessed with TV stars and if they're alive or dead. Fortunately for both of us, that's my wheel house of trivia so our conversations go like this:
V: who played on jeb clapett on the beverly hillbillies.
Me: Jed Clampett. And it was buddy epsen.
V: buddy espoon diiiiiiied?
Me: uh, yeah. Buddy epsen died. I think he died the same week as buddy hackett. It was a bad week for buddy's.
V: buddies died on a heart attack?
Me: Uh, yeah, sure. They died on a heart attack.
I have had this conversation about various cast members from: What's Happenin', Good Times, The Jeffersons, I dream of Jeanie, The Munsters, The Beverly Hillbillies and Bewitched. as well as cartoons like Babar, and some stupid Tugboat thing which, thank god there's a wikipedia page all about these damn boats, but I've had to read it more times than I have ever really wanted to (which granted, would optimally been "none")
Oh good, everyone is leaving early today. that's nice.
