Just finished work. Today i got spewed on, had to clean up two patients that shat themselves....one of those it was literally everywhere and deal with a poor lady with delerium who was screaming and i couldn't take my eyes off her all shift. Mentally and physically fucked. Ordering pizza and going to drink some wine and pass out. One hell of a day

...how do you do it I don't know... it must be so hard. As you say it's not only the physical burden, but the psychological pressure must be difficult to bear. Suppose that's when professionalism comes into play, but even so it sounds really hard going. No surprise that you feel the need to self-medicate by now and then.

I often think how I would manage if I had to care for a sick parent or relative... you do it for work and it's already hard enough, but what if you are stuck in a situation you can't escape from? That's one of the scenarios where having a lot of money or not makes a hell of a lot of difference, whatever people say about money not making you happy.
Have a good rest and hopefully tomorrow's shift won't be as difficult :)

Sounds like a typical night for a baby/toddler mother (never EVER again) followed by a very similar shift at work for a lot of us......well done on being sensible enough not to procreate & be able to pizza, piss it up & pass out after those shitty shifts

Damn right. I admire anyone that can do that job. My Mrs did it for years and she loved it - it takes a special type of person I guess.

I regularly visit 'care' homes in my job (care in inverted commas as often the care is questionable). I went to one the other day as they were having breakfast. There was an old woman sat in the corner of the dining room shouting "help" over and over again every few seconds. I said to the shift manager "sounds like you've got your work cut out there". She rolled her eyes and replied, "She does that all day long, every day. She's a very privileged lady who's never had to do anything for herself in her life..."

Guess the moral of this is that some people need to have their arses wiped - whereas others just expect it...

No way could i cope with that shit.

Yeah i guess it is very similar lol, except when we have to restrain adults and get assaulted. I do love the job though...it just has moments that test you.

Ot - Had a fantastic sleep. Feel renewed. Off to the beach for a coffee and bacon and egg roll.

Yeh that's the point I was making re similar shifts after a night of broken baby sleep...however my shitty, sicky restraint (child, adolescent & adult) days are over for now....lippy wee shits & admin make for an easier life

Are you a parent? It's very rare to hear that type of comment from a person with kids. Always thought that there must be some sort of silent conspiracy... not many people tell you what giving birth and having children is really like. The gritty, gory reality of parenthood is often kept out of the narrative.

Yes - especially if they love it. And for an average pay.

I don't mind giving you the lowdown on the gritty reality of parenthood if you like. It's just a shame that abortion isn't legal up to the age of 18... ;)

Yes I am. Really? I must hang out with the bitter parental realists then! Check out Hollie McNish's 'Nobody told me' https://holliepoetry.com/2015/09/17/nobody-told-me/ if you're into parenting realism <3
 
Children are definitely a pain in the arse and chew up heaps of your time and money, but without them I wouldn't be where I am today. I'd be sitting back enjoying life instead of working two jobs!
 
Breakfast time.

Spliff followed by egg, pork and pickle with soy sauce coming up.

Got a very hot 18 yo niece of my wife staying here with her quite cute 19 yo friend, which is nice, yet frustrating.
