Pre-Arrival: Case of Peter

Peter, a 35 year old male, who has a history of depression meets with you after accepting a job offer for a position you helped him find.

He says, “I’m going to start my job next week at the public library as a library clerk. I’m really looking forward to it especially after going through the interview. You know, when I met with the supervisor I told her about my disability as we discussed and explained my need to work in the afternoons. I followed your recommendation of explaining my strengths in working during the PM. She told me that working in the afternoon would be fine and that I could keep a steady schedule without shifting to the morning. I’m so relieved because I was worried they would shift me around to the morning like in my last job. You know I can’t work in the morning since my meds make me drowsy then. But now I don’t have to worry. Thank goodness.”

What kind of expectation is this?
