He also met a nice lady and is dating for the first time. Good luck to your son! He deserves some good things to come his way.

Thanks, BGB. It's always good to hear positive stories. My son survived day four at work - and his first day working alone. Well, I guess his supervisor came over and helped out today, but normally he'll be scheduled to manage his group alone on Tuesdays. The other days there are one or two other people scheduled with him.

He does deserve some good things in his life. Right now he's lying on his bed, wearing a furry hat, and staring at the ceiling. I don't know if he's feeling good or bad. If I had to guess, I'd say he's depressed, but he has such a poker face, it's hard to tell what he's feeling by looking at him. He'll look calm when he's really angry and sad when he's feeling good.

He told me last night that he really likes this job, but he's afraid if he says so he'll "jinx" it. He's also afraid they'll fire him. He hasn't had a lot of luck with jobs.
