Their flashing tongues, spitting out blood and poison.

I do a lot of logistics at my job, so I'm constantly making notes, sending texts, writing out information, making calls, and directing the utility crew.

One of my best guys had a stroke a few years ago, and one of the long term problems from it is he can no longer read. He can recognize letters and common words and signs, but he cannot read. I know this, yet somehow can never remember it. Over the run of the last show, I have:

Given him pull orders for equipment
Texted him important info
Sent him emails with work orders for the next day when I wasn't going to be in
Asked him if he had a FB account
And lastly, told him if he wrote out a letter of recommendation I would sign it.


I just can't keep it in my head that he cannot read. Finally he was so exasperated he told me "I might be illiterate, but your loving stupid."

Now it's become a thing, people randomly remind me out of the blue. Thank god he has a good attitude and is one of my best guys, haha.
