tired but happy

Postby monkeybone » Fri Aug 24, 2007 21:45:58

i worked with a woman today for about 8 hours - longer than expected but she needed groceries and then there was the issue with the litterbox and her cat who i think is ill.
i go to work at my 'main' house tomorrow 8a until sunday night 10p. i'm tired but looking forward to having a trainee around while we shop for groceries at the walmart.

for those who don't know: i work with mentally retarded people. and i love my job most of the time. i have met the most interesting people!

it suits me and i wish sometimes that i had gone into this line of work long ago. but on the other hand i realize that i had to go through all the work and life experiences i've had thus far >> so that i could be led to the place i'm at now.

make sense?

i'm still rather new and therefore not terribly jaded yet. i've been 'played' by people - but never more than once. :D my biggest challenge is a woman who gets anger flashes and bites herself, pounds the walls and doors of her room.

but it's not every day.

most of my time with them is simple lessons of life - do you need to flush the toilet? is the kitchen faucet still running? have you pulled up your underwear? please take your dishes to the sink. that kind of stuff.

and we have fun too! movies, bowling, church on saturday at st. augustines. just life stuff.

i'm absolutely blathering. sorry. but it seems that i know what some of you do - and so i thought i'd let you know the same about me.

cheers until monday!

Wow!!! Very interesting. I couldn't do this sort of work. I have a VERY weak stomach and a VERY short fuse.

I just asked Madd the other day what you do for a living and he didn't know.
