Technician No. 40

She is technician No. 40. The technicians who go to work (give physical therapy to customers) are all called by their job number. Her job number is 40.

The first time I met her was at a training meeting. We were the same batch of applicants for physical therapist jobs. She wore glasses that covered most of her face, her hair was tied in a knot, and she wore a very old-fashioned down jacket.

The female technician required makeup. When we saw her the next day, we all laughed. Her eyebrows were painted in different lengths and thicknesses, and her unruly natural curly hair , very funny. She was embarrassed to say that she didn't know how to put on makeup, so she only put on lipstick occasionally.

The unit I work in is a large bathing center. All physical therapists have to do pedicures and promote other physiotherapy items during the pedicures. Most of the physical therapists who apply for jobs have some basic knowledge and can get started quickly. Technician No. 40 said that she used to do electronic physiotherapy, and she was watching around when others were assessing their techniques. A simple foot massage was included in the bathing package, and she was basically able to do it within two days.

We think it will be slow for her to get started without a basic foundation, not to mention that it will take some time to adapt. When the foreman is not busy, he will teach newbies. Although there are designated veteran technicians, they only want to enjoy the massage of the new technicians and give very little guidance. She has no foundation, so she forwards various massage techniques on her friends circle every day. Whenever the old technician comes to work, she moves a bench to sit next to her.

Within a few days, she started clocking, and there were actually people who clocked it. When we practiced together, I worked with her to experience her techniques.

Her palms are not big and her fingers are very thin. When her thumb pushes through the acupuncture points, it looks like a pencil. She has a lot of hand movements. Watching her do it feels very fancy. She doesn’t finish a movement without stopping. The next movement followed, and the thin arms moved neatly on the feet. Asked where she learned so many moves, she said she learned from many masters.

I really learned from many teachers, I feel deeply. There are so many techniques to remember and they must be coherent when doing them. It will definitely not be possible without hard work.

The variety of techniques is not the reason why she was given more time. The commission for the simple pedicure in the package was not high. Many technicians did it hastily. According to the requirement, it was two Ten minutes, what they did was only about ten minutes, but she was different, the time could only be more or less. After they had done it together, she was still doing it, with her head buried, and her thin arms led her fingers to touch her feet. of each acupuncture point.

After a few days of pedicure, new employees can be promoted physiotherapy projects through shoulder, neck and back physiotherapy techniques. I inspected it with her. After I finished it, I watched her do it. Her technique was very messy, with a hammer here and there, and she would do whatever technique came to mind. I guess I learned it by myself after seeing other people's techniques. Even if the movements are not in place, she is still working hard. The supervisor's back was turned red when she pushed her. We said to her, sister, you can save a scraper with this strength.

After she finished, her entire back was wet, and her two shoulder blades were highlighted.

She knew that her method would not work. If she encountered a difficult customer, she might be complained. That would not be worth the gain, and she would have to delay selling physical therapy for a month.

The technicians have to work to make money and want to rest when they are not working. No one wants to be a model for her and be "ravaged" by her. She asked the waiter at the bar to practice cupping and gua sha. Back massage can be done on the same person's back every day, while cupping and scraping can take several days at a time.

Of course she couldn't wait for several days and practiced her hands twice. Under her serious pedicure, the customer paid for her cupping. I was unsure of what I was familiar with, but I couldn't help but sweat profusely after doing the cupping, and was scolded by the customer because it was too hot to drink. Fortunately, the old technician came to the rescue and cupped the cup for free, and the matter was over.

She would have been cautious if she had experienced such a thing. Not to mention other physical treatments, she will definitely not touch cupping for the time being. Unexpectedly, she still promoted the product and still pulled it out. Even though other technicians criticized her for not pulling it out vigorously, she still made money.

She rarely goes home. The technicians are on duty every one or two days and can take two days off. She never takes a break and does not go back to the dormitory, just like usual after get off work. Continue to set the clock until twelve o'clock at night. Sleeping was not allowed in the clock room, so she took a nap against the corner of the wall. When she heard the front desk calling No. 40, she cheered up and went to the clock.

Of course, you will earn more if you work more clocks. Normal clock work is scheduled in shifts, but sometimes technicians will not be there because they are going to the toilet or doing other things, and they will catch up with customers. In a hurry, when the bar counter is looking for a technician, she will be the first to rush in and receive the customer's physical therapy.

Sometimes there are many customers at night, and many of them are reluctant to come out to work overtime after get off work. But it is different on the 40th. As long as she is called to work overtime, she will definitely come. Sometimes there are many customers and many technicians have to stay. Some of them want to sneak away, but she will take the initiative to stay. Later, when there were many customers, the person on duty called for someone, and the technicians who didn't want to work overtime said, "Look for number 40, she's free."

The words are sour, and even if they are not cheap, they still have all the glory.

A technician with more than ten years of experience said that making money on the 40th is life-threatening. I have never seen anyone making money without taking a break. I have never promoted cupping in so many years. I won't do anything I'm not good at or something that's dangerous. I really don't know where she spends her money, and she doesn't support her family.

The implication is that it is shameless for you to work hard and make more money without supporting your family. However, she does not support her family. The technicians are all peripheral. No. 40 has such a beautiful working status. Her The family situation has long been understood by some technicians and has become a gossip.

They said with a gloating tone, what kind of pretense is there for an old girl in her thirties to get pregnant before marriage, give birth to a child to a man, and then wait for the man to pick her up? Woolen cloth.

A person who knew the ins and outs said that after giving birth to a child, of course he would wait to receive it.

What are you waiting for? The man has already been married, so she can give birth to a son. The technicians were still talking about the gossip, and she must have heard it. Without saying a word, she called the clock, asked the foreman for technical consultation, and asked the waiter to practice their techniques.

One day on duty, I was serving customers at the bar, and I saw her followed by the supervisor and a swearing customer. After asking the bartender, she found out that when she was picking the customer's ears, the customer's ears were bleeding. Fortunately, the hospital examination was fine.

Ear picking is relatively easy compared to other physical treatments, but it requires a high degree of concentration from the technician. However, many technicians simply fool around in the client's ears for a few times.

She may have been too honest and dug too deeply, and something happened. Other technicians said that she would definitely not make blind sales now, and she would dare to pick ears even with those big glasses.

At that time, the foreman suggested that she should stop selling ear plucking because her eyesight was not good. She must have been reluctant to make more money every time. Many customers would choose ear plucking after pedicures. Ears are a very popular item in physical therapy.

Others were chattering, and most of them were gloating about the misfortune. She said nothing and sat silently. It happened that I lined up with her at the last minute to give an elderly couple a pedicure. She reported her job number as required and then started doing it silently. I heard her sniffling and glanced at her. In the dim light, only the outline of her face and her thin waving arms were visible. I thought she must not be able to do well in this situation. Unexpectedly, the uncle asked her her job number and said she was doing well. She said "40" without raising her head.

I watched her get up after finishing, walking in front of me with her shoulders slumped, her back soaked with sweat. For some reason, it reminded me of something I saw at my aunt's house when I was a child. A chicken, that chicken has been abnormal since it was a child. It always fell down when walking and was always bullied by other chickens. The second aunt thought that this chicken would not live long, but just such a chicken was born in the second aunt's house. Eggs for several years.

No matter what the circumstances were, she cried no matter what she had to do, but she wiped her tears and continued to work. There is nothing that is not miserable. When you are single in your thirties, you don’t want to go back home, or maybe you don’t dare to go back. She must have felt miserable too. I once saw her sobbing alone while answering a call from her family. She never thought of complaining to anyone and tried hard to live a strong life.

There is a child in the work unit. His father passed away and his mother’s whereabouts are unknown. He came to work when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Because he had no money to pay for school fees, he saved some money after working for a year. Back at school, the work unit mobilized various departments to donate money to express their love. Most of the technicians paid ten or eight yuan. Unexpectedly, technician No. 40, who had been eating shredded potatoes all day and was reluctant to buy cosmetics, donated a thousand dollars.

The technician who mocked her as a tough guy who worked hard to make money but didn’t know how to spend it also shut up. All under one roof, the more you earn, the more you pay. Working hard is not just to earn more money. No. 40 is the same for other technicians, but they have different experiences and different consumption.

After the ear-picking incident, technician No. 40 picked the ears of others again the next day. I asked her, aren't you afraid that something will happen again? She said she was scared, her hands kept shaking, and she pinched herself several times while changing ear-picking tools.

Life is always going to pass, no matter what you are afraid of, once you step over the hurdle, it will become a level ground. Even in an office area, everyone carries different weights of life, and among these people, there are always some who stand high.

There is a guestbook at the bar where customers evaluate the waiters and give suggestions to the unit. Many of the messages are for Technician No. 40. At the end of the quarter, the outstanding employee award was given to No. 40, and no one had any objections.

She stood on the podium with exquisite makeup. She was no longer the same as when I first saw her.
