an appropriate title for my most recent entry. i think my current job is going to ruin my young life. it makes me so depressed and frustrated and sore. today i dealt directly with a woman going through the last "stage" i guess you'd say of alzheimers. this normally nice tall big woman is sweet and cooperative, almost swung at me and a nurse today. she's a house. she could fucking destroy me. she threatens, she gets crazy eyes and becomes an unreasonable bitch. i felt like crying today, but i held it back because 1. its unprofessional to cry at work 2. i can't get upset over what an old woman whose mind is wasting away says to me. sadly she doesn't even know whats going on, so in a way i can understand the threats and bullshit that comes along with the transition, but i don't want to put up with it. its frustrating, its dangerous and its upsetting. i like a lot of the residents there, but its hard to establish meaningful relationships with elderly when they don't remember one thing from another 5 seconds later. it feels like a waste even trying. i'm anxiously waiting to hear back from baystate. i'll pound on the door if i have to. i just can't find myself enjoying the job anymore. i'm off orientation as of this week and i'll be working less which will have its pros and cons. but i have landmarks to look forward to:
movie date with amanda and sq to see elizabethtown wednesday
day off thursday
the horrible anatomy exam 2 so once its over i can start making a cake! YES! and maybe mccray's trip with a fun bunch if they don't flake.
saturday is killer fiction! TO ALL THE LOSERS WHO ACTUALLY READ MY LIVEJOURNAL:
KILLER FICTION is mike wynn and chris mckenna's newest project with aaron kakos and featuring the skills of flynn and stankovich. to most of you this means nothing, but for the people who know these guys you need to go and support their first show. its going to be awesome. and if its not, my cake will own. so its at the flywheel at 7:00 on saturday night. there's a flier on 413_core on livejournal. its on my friends page if you scroll down.
and that's about it.
