Having been a security guard myself, most of these young guys (like I was) saw the job mainly as a way to pay for college. They get grumpy because they are royally chewed out if people ignore them. For this reason I preferred to work banks. People don’t mess with the bank guards.
Yeah, they tell me if I fall down to stay down until help arrives. If I hit my head I could get hemorrhaging in my brain. The one time I did fall down I broke my neck in two places and didn’t realize it until several hours later.
We actually argue over who gets to do laundry and dishes. We like it because we like the warmth on our hands. Unfortunately, I have gotten old and slow before my wife did, but she sometimes lets me take a turn anyway.
Um, yeah. You don’t “cheer up” depressed people. It just makes it worse. The thing to do is just be there for them, sit quietly with them if they wish, and just listen without offering advice.
