I am totally loving this week, well minus the weather. I looked at my work schedule and found that I am only scheduled to work two days this week, which is rather unusual for me. Plus it just so happens to be my weekend off. This is going to feel like a vacation to me. I am not going to know what to do with myself. One of my nurses always jokes that I should just take up residency in one of the unoccupied rooms seeing as to how I practically live at the nursing home anyways. Sadly she is right. It is rare that I ever have a day off, because of the fact that they always seem to have people call in, resulting in me having to come to work anyways. I feel bad knowing that for one my co- workers will be working short and for two that the residents are obviously in the nursing home for a reason and should not be the ones to suffer for those who just didn’t want to show up to work that day. Not to mention I have a problem saying “no”. I try hard to put others before myself and if that means living in a nursing home, then I guess that’s what I have to do for my residents. (Just not this week;P)
Must be nice I wouldn't know what that feels like lol. I feel ya on the whole living at the nursing home and just taking up residency we really should. That's are next task to work on, learn how to say No to people. It is hard though knowing that they are there for a reason and you might be the only person who will actually come in and help. I guess their lucky to have people like us who are just to nice sometimes haha :).
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of never getting off work. I work at subliminal in waterloo and we are growing and buying another business. So I get to train all the new people and work almost ever day. I only have one day off and if I ever have more it is because I asked off for it. This whole full-time worker and full-time student just keeps getting harder.
