It has been a rough busy week at work, a week like not a usual week. Like you constantly have things to do, sometimes in a hurry and sometimes not, but no stopping, accept for lunch or coffee breaks. Today has been the same at work, I nearly was fed up aswell. Doing the best you can, and then get sometimes comments. I know it's mostly a joke but enough is enough, right? My fore worker is good at 'that.' He's the guy who has to teach me, and he does. But mostly he comments me when I make a mistake or I ask him something with a joke or laughing face. For example, "Oh Sjon, pay attention please." Or, Hey, hurry up, your still not done?" <--- He says that with a laughing face.
It's fun sometimes, but not always. When I go to him for a question, he puts sometimes a face like he wants to say, "Oh no, what now?" He's been doing it alot when I work with him, not always though. He's a very nice guy, and no one can work like him, he's fast, no one can beat him. I tried to copy him sometimes but I gave up on that. I tell him, "Nah, there's no use to copy you, no one can." I get alot of serious compliments from him too, he told me several times that he rather works with me then other workers. I love my job and I like the work I do, that shows while I work, I show alot of enthusiasm. Today has been rough, I had to do something else in my own section.
Finish the mats what are nearly done, clean them (glue spots), measuring them, pack them and write them down. That's really quit a job, cause some mats are huge. It was actually my first time (I think) I did this, finish them completely. And some mats had to be done in a rush, cause customers were waiting. My fore worker worked on another section but he could see me work, and yes he did sometimes pull a 'Hey, hurry up, your still not done?' face, lol. Or when I went to him for questions, the 'Oh, what now?' face. Not always though, but in the end of the day I was a bit fed up with the jokes. Been busy, managed alot, and then the faces and comments, that no fun!
I ignored him and did my own thing, it was nearly closing time aswell, so yeah, I cleaned up. Tomorrow I will work aswell, though it's only a half day. It's busy! Tomorrow my fore worker will help me out on our own section, I think I need to man up a bit more, not always be the nice guy, if you know what I mean. Speak up! And that is what I will do from now on, on a honest and polite way. A fair way. What does it matter that I come up with 100's of questions when I have to do something new! I need to learn aswell, right? When my fore worker gives me those faces again, I will look at him for a second and turn around and continue what I do. Ignorance is best I think, just doing my best and pay attention is good.
