We’re all pretty bummed at work today. Like I told you, I have a co-worker who
has gone missing. I actually never had the pleasure of meeting him. He wasn’t
on the schedule on my first day. He was on it for my second day, but he never
showed up, which is why it was so crazy and hectic for me. You never wanna be
short-staffed when you’re trying to train someone new. For the last couple of
weeks, the police have been investigating his disappearance, though investigate
is probably a bit of a strong word. The way I hear it, he wasn’t the most
responsible dude, but he wasn’t the type to just skip town, and not tell
anyone. My boss believes that he might—might—be the type to skip town,
but make contact afterwards to apologize, but even that’s a stretch. He
reportedly loved working at the nursery. They think he may have had some debt
issues, though, which is why they’ve decided to drop the case. Their current
theory is that he just decided to leave at the beginning of the month, and
start a new life somewhere else. He doesn’t appear to have any family; in the
area, or otherwise, so he would have found it easy to leave everything behind.
The rest of us aren’t so sure. It’s not just that he wasn’t showing signs of
wanting to run. He was looking forward to a party last weekend, and he was a
month away from finally paying off his car. His friends don’t think that he
would miss out on the satisfaction. It doesn’t add up. I’m pretty upset about
it myself. I don’t exactly know why. It could be that I have a general disdain
for injustice and unfairness, or because I had to call the man a million times
to try to get him to come into work. Even though I had no way of knowing, I
feel bad about the whole thing. Knowing what I know now, it seems so petty to
have been so anxious about his absence. I’m thinking about passing a hat
around to collect money for a private investigator, but I do not want to
overstep. I’m still so new, to the company, and to the world itself.
