Part 2/5:
The speaker draws a relatable parallel between their own experiences starting a new job and the rooster’s repetitive barking. When beginning a new position, an individual is typically considered "the new guy" for about a week. During this introductory period, they are highly visible, and their status as a newcomer is evident. However, after some time, colleagues stop calling them "the new guy," and they settle into a routine, their identity stabilizing within the workplace.
Contrasting this human experience with the rooster’s behavior underscores a sense of frustration or confusion. Unlike humans, who tend to adapt and settle into routines, the rooster seems to be caught in a perpetual state of alertness, barking at the same neighbor dog every single day as if it were the first encounter.
