Monday went better then Thursday...
Today went well with work, I finnished my butler-tray and finnished aswell the HUGE corner-couch, (see pictures) there was no nagging and insulting from Rob. Rob insulted me and tried to take away my motivation at work last Thursday, I had a little burst out towards him that afternoon. I told what happened though with Rob and me towards my Boss this morning, My Boss told me that it could be that Rob didn't like the work he was doing at that moment. Rob does most of the time the same work over and over, 'that' work was finnished last Thursday, so, he had to do something else, wich he didn't like. Then he gets annoyed and starts to tease weak people, childish! Rob talked to me normal today, he almost acted like nothing has happened, I did the same, it was fine, forgive and forget.

Today aswell my project leader, (I still don't know how you call such a person) visited me at work. She helps me looking for the right job, Her name is Agnes and she is a part of the staff from Reha. She wanted to know a bit more about my work/job past, I filled her in. Agnes asked me awell how it was going at work, I told her it's going very well, I really like it here and I learn alot. Considering going back to a metal working job is out of the question, It's just to heavy for me, and it's been such a while since I worked in the metal. Although I have four welding diploma's I don't know, but for now it's a "No." After Agnes asked me a few more things we went to my work place, she would like to see what I made so far at Reha, I showed her three butler-trays and the 'new' corner couch. Other stuff I made was sold last week.
My Boss showed up aswell while I was talking to Agnes, he joined the conversation. My Boss told Agnes that I did a good job and that I learn quickly, he saw my growing in my job. I only have a few min points according to my Boss, I forget things easily, and paying attention I have to learn a bit more. Technicly I have to grow more aswell, now there were a few things I didn't agreed with my Boss. But I letted it be. I should have said something though, show more my assertive side. Now working with my Boss isn't always a pleasure, he is the Boss but actually he is the Boss on the office, officially a office worker. We really need a second Boss who helps us out, a Boss who has more skills in this job. My Boss knows what he wants and knows what has to be made, and he knows how he wants it, but doing it is a bit 'hmm, hmm.'

Sometimes I see him working while we work together, or he helps me. Then I see sometimes the mistakes he makes. He doesn't look on a centimeter or two, he isn't that perfectioned what sometimes is needed. He does his best but he's doing it to fast, "Ah that's okay," he says then, while it's not. My Boss makes sometimes mistakes when he's working on something with me, and I see his mistakes. Later on he tries to shove his mistakes towards me and tells me then in a friendly way, "See what you did wrong? Next time it's better that you do it this way or that way." My Boss tries to teach me something then, but trough 'his' mistakes it goes wrong and I get the fault. (Be more assertive Sjon, speak!) I do not hate my Boss, he's a really friendly guy and does his best for me, but he belongs on his office.
Another example, my Boss helps me out to much, he overreacts, although he means it good. This afternoon I was making a table and when he helped me he made almost the whole table, I thought, "Hey I like this work let me do it, and I need to learn this aswell." And I know that he will make mistakes, or he will explain me things what I already know. Maybe my Boss tries to make me be more assertive and want me to speak up.Let's try this tomorrow. I like the work that I do, I like to be neat and correct in the things I do aswell. I want to learn things and I'm at the right adress for that at Reha. I feel a challenge!
