So I'm a mid-50s ,geeky kinda guy. Thick glasses, overbite,you get the pic.
I work as a flagger and I help set up signs on construction sites we work on.
Mentally, I have a hard time understanding what they're doing . I can't picture it in my mind. Say the boss says "Were gonna put a sign this way because we closing off this street,and another sign here.."
It's simple. But like anything, I can't see the end result. I feel like the crew I'm working for are tired of my sh*t. They pick me up,don't speak to me, but just to each other . A "good morning" is met with silence. And I know the workers talk about how stupid I am at following directions as soon as I leave the truck. Yet they talk and joke with other workers all the time.
And that feeling of being an outcast at work and dealing with ignorant Karen drivers who yell at me when they can't get into a blocked street. I just feel like crap at the end of the day.
So why don't I leave? Because who wants to hire a guy in his 50s besides jobs like this?
Anyways ,that's my rant .
