Frustrated

I had a really shitty day at work. All I want to do is crawl into bed and just forget about everything. I failed my stupid med test. She said I was "really nervous". Funny thing is despite from being nervous I did a damn good job. The only thing I can figure out is that I wasn’t supposed to put one of the tester needles on the counter. She wants me to shadow someone else and then get tested again. I’ve been thinking about quiting my job a lot lately though. I’m just not satisfied anymore. I used to love what I do and now I just want to bang my head against a wall whenever I have to work.

I work with seniors who have Dementia in the hardest household at Harbour House. I’m tired of the constant questions sometimes I just want to scream at them! It’s the same thing over and over again "where am I?’ "What day is it?" "Where do I sleep?" Ugh!! I can’t take it anymore!!!

To make matters worse they are doing construction on the highway so it took me an extra 20 minutes to get home…and when I got home I couldn’t find parking so that took another 15 minutes and I had to parallel park which I hate doing. I really really really hate Milwaukee. You shouldn’t have to drive around for a half an hour just to find parking.

Yeah if I cant find a parking spot in the first 5 min i’ll just say “pfft… i’ll do it later”. But then again thats always been me, if you remember, simple minded. ^_^ Im sure you’ll do fine on the retake test, good luck and all that jazz!

Soooo….other than this how are things going? hehe

Sorry things are frustrating…seems it’s piling up and making things seem unbearable. Perhaps another area at the same location (that is, not those who have dementia) might help bring some enjoyment back? As for the med test – now that you’ve been through it and know what to expect, I’m sure you’ll do fine the next time. Don’t let it get to you – you’re doing great, I’m sure! *HUGS*
