[QUOTE="Andy, post: 186963, member: 5096"] He is so lucky to have you helping and understanding. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone would look for ways to help each other instead of being judgmental? I have always been fortunate to have jobs where co-workers overlooked or worked around each other's quirkiness. When I started a job in the cities (20 yrs old), the older ladies were complaining about one of the gentlemen who did something they didn't like alot. They quieted down quickly when I said something like, "Oh, that is just him, it is just like when you swear. You don't realize you are doing it but we tolerate it." I can't believe I was so bold back then but I think I was able to say it in a way that didn't offend - that whatever it was was tolerable even though we didn't like it. That person started watching her language after that. Jobs are nicer when co-workers help each other out and respect each other for who they are. Makes for a much nicer work time. We also had a guy who had a sleeping disorder. Can't even start to spell it - it is where you can fall asleep instantly any time day or night. Got to the point he was sleeping more than not but we all knew what was going on and worked around it. [/QUOTE]
