Short Lived

Geoff reported to us  this morning that the temp agency informed him not to come back tonight to the placement they put him at. 

He said there were 3 guys, a giant conveyor belt, and too much stuff. I guess he didn't work fast enough for them (which makes sense, he's ... who he is, and lacks speed) and that he was sluggish. 

He was awake for 20+ hours so I get that. 

But he said no one was helpful, no one instructed him well, they were kind of jerks. And he is mad that he didn't even get a second chance tonight. 

I asked him if he asked for a second chance, to say "I'm sorry, I haven't slept since Saturday night, I'm not used to the night shift but I can get on that schedule today," and if he gave any feedback about how they didn't really give him good instruction. 

He said no. 

So, you didn't plead your case.

No. 

Alright then. That's on you. I'm sure you could have tried to communicate that, and tried harder to work faster if you had a second chance. 

He's just really disappointed, in them, in him, in everything. "I don't know why I bother, why I try. Hospital jobs don't want me, this dumb job doesn't want me." 

I feel like the world sometimes sees him as a Cheese Sandwich, and we know he is so much more than that. 

Anyway. I took two walks today because I didn't get time to run on the treadmill for 2 miles. Work was stupid busy. I'm tired. 

No picture tonight. Just the digits.
