I had a long, very long, weekend. I work twelve hours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday night the girl that was to replace me at seven called off, they switched the line-up around somewhat. The girl that was supposed to replace the girl that was to replace me, called off. This wasn't realized until 7:05 when I was going 'okay, where's my replacement? I'd like to go home.' They wanted me to stay...they even offered me a shower at the facility. (I work in a nursing home) I left around 8 p.m. and was completely dead the next day (I had to be back in to work at 6:30 a.m.). So Saturday I'm practically in a daze, and we were short, but thankfully one of the girls they put on resorative came over and helped me. Sunday I was a bit more awake, but on my own. I got two comments from two different staff. One of the ladies in activities told me she'd seen me 'running around like a chicken with my head cut off' and apparently they 'need to hire more staff like me'. A nurse thanked me for all my hard work. I wanted nothing more than to go home and sleep after we feed the residents dinner on Sunday, but I still had an hour left. I did what I could, but the girl following me wasn't pleased...I find htis is often the case. The residents aren't to go to bed till after seven, unless they ask to be put to bed. I leave at seven. Often the person coming in after me is upset that all the residents aren't in bed...it's stupid and annoying. You can't expect me to give care and put 15 residents in bed in the course of an hour. Whatever, it's over and I'm not working again until Friday.
I did request this Sunday off for a family x-mas get together, and they scheduled me. They did this last week on the Saturday I requested off. I got it off because they had the paperwork, but now I have to let them know they did this again. My last job was good about giving you off the days you requested. Oh well.
On the plus side I just took my last Intro to Religions quiz and got all the answers right, so that's some good news.
