It’s been one of those days. I told you in the last post how the scheduling
works at my new job. When they first explained it to me, my first
question was the obvious one, which is what happens when two people have to
be gone at the same time? The answer was that this never happens, so they
didn’t have a protocol for that. But of course, this being my life, it
happened immediately. I’m not even finished with my training, but we’re
already down to three people. One of the other janitors had a family
emergency, which necessitated him driving halfway across the country at a
moment’s notice. He reportedly didn’t even have time to pack anything. The
old man, meanwhile, has fallen ill. He’s awake and alert, but he’s in no
condition to be moving around, and doing this kind of work. The bosses are
actually making him stay in a special room for treatment. I guess this place
has its own little health clinic? They didn’t tell me anything about it, so
I don’t think it’s for just anyone to use when they need it. So now it’s
just me and the girls. Their initial plan when this happened was to have one
of us take a double shift, and maybe someone else takes it the next day?
That’s too much math. The reason four of us work on one day is because 24
divided by 6 equals 4. But 24 can also be divided into 8, and that makes 3.
To cover the time, we’re each just going to take longer shifts,
but we each get a 30 minute lunch break now. This is the way things
often work in other universes, and even in other places on this world, so
it’s not like I’m reinventing the wheel here.
I’m glad that they’ve taken my advice, because I feel super responsible for
all of this. It may sound ridiculous, but hear me out. I’m starting to
really worry that I’m the cause of all these issues. Things have been
changing since I showed up on the scene, everyone thinks so, even if they’re
not making the connection to me. Issues are arising that were not a problem
before. It’s not always obvious, like when I first came to this world, and
kept getting sick. Someone went missing after I started working at the
nursery, and now this? I know, it sounds self-aggrandizing to think that
everything is all about me, but come on. I understand that I felt like this
before, and there actually weren’t any other missing people, but I’m not
making everything up. I dunno. Maybe I should leave this town, and
move to another to see if something weird happens there too. Of course, I
can’t just run off right away. These people are counting on me. We have to
find at least one more person to fill out the roster, and maybe another
person after that, and if I go, then they’ll have to look for a third. I’m
in such an awkward position. I better get some sleep, and see if I come up
with any better ideas in the morning. The people who set me up with my new
life are asking me to work for them too, which complicates things even
further. I have a feeling that my situation is about to get a lot more
difficult.
