Its all too easy to see that I am not blogging at much as I first intended. I begin this entry today with intentions of writing to remember.....
A situation at work has been blown way out of proportion. They don't tell us that people aren't coming down to eat, so I set places for them. Then, as they see their plate they "remember" that this person isn't coming down. So, I go and undo all the setting up I did and put this person on the room tray cart. This person then comes down right at the time that we should be cleaning up, but since these cnas are such bad workers they are not able to get done on time. They ask for me to feed this person and I ask them if they can wait till later, that is it too late. They come back again (after trying to make small talk) ask for the food again. I was frusterated and I tell them that they need to get their stuff together and decide whether these people are coming down or not, that we both need to work a little harder to get this figuered out. I got a reply that " it is really hard to get everyone out of bed". I gave the person their food and that was the end of it.
This afternoon, I got talked to my the shift supervisor telling me that I need to have the residents come first. I told my side of the story and things were fine (I was still angry, but as far as I was conserned things were cleared with the administration). I got home from work and at about 315 my phone rings; the caller id shows its a private number. I answered the phone. I recognized the voice as the person who had asked me to get the food the following evening. They were talking at me, not to me. "I had fun with your dogs last night", "want to play a game" , "want to play guess who", there was more but I was in good spirit and told my boyfriend to say "who is this" in a "scary" voice. He did and the caller knew who he was. This person then asked my bf if he had been fishing. He denyed that he had and the caller asked if he had been fishing for my scivies. My bf got upset and hung up the phone. I started to go through the list of people who would A) have my phone number and B) want to do this too me. I ruled out the person who did it because I didnt know at the time that they were so upset about the previous nights events. I was later told that those people who were working that night say I have no right to do what I have done. They all hate me and think Im a bitch.
There are plenty of times when they have done wrong to the residents. They sit and talk instead of feeding them. They will yell at them . They will refuse to turn the radio to a classical station. They will come back and go in our friges and leave the door open. They will use our coffee pot. They are simply lazy slobs.
When my bf arrived at work shortly after recieving the phone call, he said that they two people who we now know did it started laughing at the sight of him, and when he didnt treat them that kindly, they figured out that he knew and stayed out of his way. Dispite of last nights happenings, however, after talking to my bf I know that the same thing that happened last night happened again tonight. One of the people probably overheard me saying that the night shift should be cleared out and replenished, and something else along the lines of how they are all worthless: They are.
there it all is in case i need to refer to it later
