Continuing Drama...Good News/Great News!
So continues the drama of a Thorn in my side...
I spoke to the nurse who's in charge of all the aides Tuesday morning (she was there to do a supervision). I explained the situation to her and told her that not only I but others were at the end of our ropes dealing with this woman and needed a solution.
Her first solution was to put in night lights..to which I informed her would be a problem due to the fact that where we would have to put the lights would be shining in her face more than the light from the bathroom which doesn't even reach the area she sleeps in.
Her next solution was to carry a flashlight..to which I responded "as it is I have to carry around 3 cell phones, a large ring of keys, gloves and all the other stuff needed to do my job. I don't need to carry around a flashlight to boot and shouldn't have to." Which, ofcourse, she agreed was true.
Her final solution (the one I like best) and i quote 'If the bathroom light is off when you enter the apartment turn on the hall light and see how she likes that. Maybe she'll get sick of the hall light being turned on and realize that it wasn't so bad having the bathroom light on after all'
Now I know this may sound terrible to some people to think this way but please keep in mind that I have spent a few months dealing with this situation and have been nothing but nice to this woman. I was so hoping that at least 1 of the 3 times I entered the apartment that the bathroom light would be off so that I would have the divine opportunity to turn on that hall light. And just let me say..the hall light is 100 times brighter than the tiny bit of light I was asking for!
Now I'm not a religious person but I do think there was some kind of divine intervention at work that night because I got my wish! And oh she was not happy!
But she didn't say a word, just got up and got herself a drink and went back to her chair.
Later, when talking to the team leader from the day shift, I got some great news....
Wait for it.....
She's going to be leaving by Monday!!!! YAY!!!!!
Sorry folks, I know this may make me sound like a terrible person but please believe me when I say I'm not! Almost 4 months of this I believe is more than anyone else would have beared!
So..just a few more days and then...FREEDOM!
The end
