Last night I came back to work positive happy and well refreshed after my holiday, after only 48hrs of dealing with the public I find myself back to feeling very disheartened with my job. I have had torrents of abuse, threats of violence and at least one person spit at me. In bad moments this makes me feel like I am bad at my job, most of the time I realise that there are just a lot of people out there who have no respect for themselves or others.
I am feeling a little bit frustrated and angry because there are still times when I enjoy what I do, I can't help thinking there has to be an easier way to make a living.
On the bright side I have learnt to see that it is the job thats stressful and not blame myself too much for feeling pressured and crabby. I seem to have become the thing I promised myself I wouldn't, a superbitch A&E sister.
