Well I survived, right? I must have or I wouldn't be writing...yeah sarcasm is my friend. Last night wasn't bad. They sent a guy from another house to help me, Amy said that he knew the residents and that everything would be find. Katrina stayed to help me until he showed up. So I got as much done as I could before he arrived...then he got there and we found out he hadn't been around any of the residents since they moved to this house so the last time he saw any of them they were all in better health. Katrina got pissed enough for the both of us and made some phone calls to try and fix everything cause obviously he didn't know the clients and I'm new. She managed to convince the house manager to come in early. Yeah her!
Which left me and this guy I just met to ourselves. I'd got all the cleaning except sweeping and moping out of the way and had started on the sweeping, which I preceeded to do. He mopped even though I volunteered to do it. We spilt up everything evenly after that, got everything done right away and then both basically went out seperate ways with homework. We talked a little, he seemed nice.
Also 'came out' to my first person at this new job, which ended up being the guy I worked with last night. He just started going on about him and his boyfriend so that just sequeyed into conversation.
He kinda got on my nerves though. I mean he was nice enough, did all his work and helped me with transfering when I asked, but he was also very egocentric and came across as condesending to the clients. He kept trying to get this one girl to say something she use to say when he knew her that he though was funny. I had to walk out of the room at one point and she gave me this irrated, 'don't leave me alone with him' look. I felt bad because she was especially helpful that morning in getting herself ready for the day even though she's doesn't like getting up in the morning. I wanted to tell him that she's not a parrot, but I just kept a running conversation with her and at one point told her she should tell him she's not an African Grey. And I made sure she picked out what she wore that morning and was patient when it took her a while to make one or two decisions. I basically just did her routine of getting her up, getting her breakfast and then giving her space because that's what she wants. Maybe I'm making something out of nothing, but I could tell she was getting irritated with him and I haven't know her that long. It was other little things to. Like I asked her to say good morning to him and she did and instead of saying thank you or good morning back he told her 'you better say good morning to me.'
I don't want to sound ungrateful, because he came in to work when he didn't have to and got two of the people ready by himself and helped me out when I needed it...one of the guys has to be a two man tansfer and the other man in the house was irritated this morning and not being helpful at all, he even tried to pinch me, but when I told him 'no, don't pinch me' and explained how I was just trying to get him ready for school he gave me a startled look and pulled his hand away. Anyway tangent, can you tell I'm getting attached to these people already?
I'm babbling because I'm still kinda waking up, but my sinus headache went away for now and I got a B on my philosophy test. Only tonight at work then I'm scheduled three days off. However I did say if they needed me to I could pick up one of the girl who quit shifts. So if I do, overtime!
Anyway thanks for the well wishes and encouragement yesterday, I needed it. Am feeling much better today.
