This week I'm working four days worth of 15 hour shifts. It'll be quite a strain, but I think I should be able to cope. Just got to keep smiling and get through it!
I do love my job. I'm working as a Health Care Assistant; and though you could say that really, what we do is the 'dirty work', it is a service that people really need in order for their lives to keep some semblance of normalcy. That is so rewarding. The people who I visit are, for the most part, so grateful for the time you spend and the care you take. Not only that, but all the families have their own ways of being lovely. They really do make us feel welcome in their homes. It is very rare for their frustrations to leak out onto us. Though perhaps that could have been phrased a little better, because sometimes it's not just frustrations that leak out!
