a) poor
and/or
b) not good looking

could also mean "tired"

my current supervisor, when she was working the front desk (before she got the job as my supervisor) askled me to get rid of a guy who was creeping her out.

What I found was just a white guy with a backpack who seemingly had been biking all day, and I gave him directions to the park.

Later she expressed regret about not letting him use the showers at the community center. I might have suggested that too, but I thought she wanted to get rid of the guy.

As the janitor, I double as building security too, or back up security when building supervisors are present.
