Work blues
I'm working the night shift tonight, and I'm getting pretty irritable. It's really not that hard of a job at this group home, but there are all of these constant reminders about how inept the management is here, and some sense of entitlement for a better job within the the ranks here.
Jesus is totally fucking me over at Heritage Christian Services, or rather those that believe they are doing his will. It's because of some backwards policies at this agency that I'm not able to move up in management in the way that I want to. I'm currently an aspiring RN, and I'm interested in being more medically involved with the residents I work with. However, the Bible apparently says that men can't be in the same room as an exposed breast, vagina, or anus of a woman. So the positions that are available that have daytime hours, and involve doctor visits are unattainable by me unless a position opens up at one of the more male-dominated houses. How is that for reverse-discrimination?
I recently decided to go back to working full-time at the group home where I have been picking up hours sporadically over the past few months. But just being here essentially alone tonight is enough to make me say "fuck it" and search for a new job. I'm probably being too hasty, because as it is now, I really need the money if I'm going to keep my excellent credit, continue taking classes, and have health insurance.
I think school starts in a little over a week, and I'm thinking of heading down to Pittsburgh for Tuesday-Saturday. Maybe I can dodge a little bit of that cold wave coming next week.
