Ok...I have to add this little story to my experience at my new work. When I arrived this morning, there were us outreach workers, and a very, very nice, kinda shy fella who said he was 'just' a cleaner. Well, I could tell he was nervous like me, and the other staff kinda ignored him (a bit). He was a heck of a lot more than 'just' a cleaner...he cleaned up and made nice the office we have to inhabit...cleaning up our, my, crap! And he worked his *ss off!!
So, I took it upon myself to chat it up with him, joke around a bit, sat with him at lunch, as I just had that sense that he had, like me, social awkwardness possibly from (like me) some mental health issues. And, he was also the kindest, nicest fellow. So....he helped me...and I hope, maybe I helped him a bit. I look forward to working with him again.
We all have to look out for each other. That, really, is the point!
