First Day

I was assigned to assist with Sean. Sean was wearing a bright blue athletic type fabric polo tan shorts and darker plastic framed glasses. Working within ten feet of Sean for over three hours, I was referred to as "dude", "sir", and "man"  dozens of times. I was talked to by name once, and before it was said out loud, with little confidence, there was a long hesitation, as Sean carefully started at and processed my name labeled on my name tag, hanging off the collar of my yellow Polo.

On my way to my second and final fifteen minute break, the "soup", named Chad, informed me that it was time for my break. I looked at my watch and said "Sounds good" which Chad sharply replied, after he took a step or to past me, with an angry face and voice "I know when your break started". My reply, OK with a confused reflection in my voice, as I continued to process our short conversation.
