Anywho....I guess I'm pretty bummed about my job. I really can't stand going to work majority of the time. I'm constantly late about 5 to 10 minutes for my shift because of this. I like most of my co-workers and my residents....but my higher-ups and supervisors are huge....well...meanies. I'd say worse, but it would probably get **** out.

The work is awful too...I mean yes I'm helping the elderly, but it can be so stressful physically and mentally. Especially since the staffing is awful. I usually work with three other CNA's, which leaves me putting about 13 people to be every night. Half of the people I put to bed seem to think they are the only person on the floor and are entitled to go to bed first. A few of them are abusive, violent and just plain non-cooperative.

I've gotten a lot faster and better at my job then when I started...unfotunatly feeding, toileting, and bathing crabby old people every day can be very tiring no matter how long you've been doing it.

So from 3-11 I'm on my feet, busting my ass, getting only ONE break and to top it all off...I get little to no recognition.

It's like babysitting forty sick and/or spoiled children. *huff*

Unfortunatly it's the only high paying job around...well...higher because it's still not enough to make a spectacular living off of.

I'm still wondering if I should quite or not...I mean I need the money, but I am so miserable at this job that I don't feel like it's worth it.

My cousin said the exact same thing before quitting and getting some higher studies to be a full time Nurse in a hospital. He, just like you, was with elders, and like you, talked alot about how not that great this job was to do.

He was indeed very tired each time I saw him during week days. He really had enough of those elders seeking attention all the time. Some beign nice, others being real a$$ about it all.

What they say is quite true. You might get older on the outside, but you get way younger on the inside (mentaly..) He always refered to them as kids.

Sad really. I don't think I could help you much, but you have my total support girl. I don't know if for you, getting higher studies would help. Because my cousin wasn't a nurse, he was below that. The only thing he could do, was to take care of elders, clean up and give minor medical care. No injections or anything like that. I just don't remember the right term in english.

But now that he's taking care of injections, big bad ugly wounds, supporting the doctor and giving some orders. He's just as tired as before, but he enjoy it.

Maybe you could too.

Just don't give up.

Alright, so I'm going insane now. I'm seriously contemplating jumping off a cliff. If I can find one within walking distance.

If you're gonna kill yourself, can I have your consoles and games and your HDTV? I'll take the DVD collection, too.

Yeah, sure thing. You'll have to pay for the shipping, though. I'm not going to get buried in a box my dad had to build for me. I want a GOOD casket.

愛 · 02-05-2007, 02:58 PM

I dunno, man. Maybe it'll be easier to just pick it up. Canadians don't know how to ship stuff. Remember that ordeal with Kingdom Hearts II? Ridiculous.

What's the matter, if you don't mind my asking?

Oh, you know. Women...and the fact that life is meaningless and we'll all grow old and turn into dust one day!

Meaning is overrated.

Eh, may as well live life to the fullest as much as we can *runs out onto the road, narrowly being avoided getting creamed on the road by cars*

In my mind, I picture God's answer to "what's the meaning of life?" is "there was no meaning! I just expected people to live it to the fullest! Instead, people had to go around contemplating meaning and reason when there was none".

I don't believe in a meaning of life. Just life itself.

Peanut · 02-16-2007, 05:45 PM

Can someone seriously just shoot me already?

I'll get the gun, you did the hole. We'll get 'er done real quick.

Peanut · 02-16-2007, 06:21 PM

Yeah, seriously. Make it quick.
