my job sucks ass. in two weeks of actually working with clients, i have been
kicked, hit, scratched, grabbed, and hit with feces. the worst incident happened
saturday night, when i was trying to help a resident with his shower. apparently
he didn't like that 'cus he grabbed me by the collar and dragged me down into the
feces ridden shower with him, yanking me towards him and attempting to bite me.
this is the guy that everyone is afraid of 'cus he's like 6'3" and all muscle - it
takes four people to restrain him. i was very lucky in that another staff member
happened to come in at that moment and was able to help me get free, but not before
both shirts i was wearing were torn to shreds.
that job in AZ at the group home that i hated so much was a walk in the park in comparison.
the bright side is that i will soon have nerves of steel. already the thought of
being confronted by someone with all their wits intact doesn't much bother me.
i mean, i'd so much rather get punched in the face than bitten...
