Today's been interesting. I'd picked up two extra shifts at work this week and today I got a call asking me to pick up another one. I said I was busy. There's working and then there's overworking and I'm not sure I'm not already touching that so no one more shift today that would've consituted a double when I have a bake sale as soon as I get off work, nope not going to happen.
I got my Fall Out Boy ticket today and that had me all happy.
Feeling slightly off though and it's people commenting on my job. Yesterday when I went to the mall with a resident, we were having fun looking at scarf or it might have been a dress, but anyway I'd brought it up to her hand so she could feel it and was describing it to her (she's blind) and some woman passed us, looked right at me and told me, 'You're a saint.' I managed a 'thank you', but it weirded me out. I enjoy going to the mall with this resident, she gets a big kick out of it and we both have a great time so I'm not really doing anything special. And okay I would still take her out even if I didn't have to clock in and wasn't getting paid for it, we have fun, it's a good time. Then today I ran into Mrs. Peterson at the gym and she asked me about my job, if I was still working there. Then she got really close to me and asked softly if I 'treated them good?'. Apparently one of the girl's who she talks to at the gym is physically handicapped and her caregiver is mean to her and she was wondering about me. I managed to stumble over some words ackwardly saying of course I was nice to my residents. These two instances bother me, and I'm not sure why, hell I'm not even sure I'm making sense. I work in a total care facility. I work with residents that couldn't take care of themselves if left on their own.I don't even know why I'm letting other peoples comments bother me. I love my job. I love the residents I work with and really that's what matters. And I'm really not making sense so I'm going to stop.
