#and a longer hire that also could be described as a ditz

While part of me is kinda amused that the housekeeper crossed out taking their trash to the dumpster from their contract...the other part of me is boiling with rage about how nobody besides the PM shift, of which I belong, takes trash to the dumpsters. Yes, some AM workers will empty the trash on the weekends, because that has been procedure since the beginning of the building, but would it kill them to notice that three giant trash barrels were at least 3/4 of the way full?

#the blogger is a home health aide #work problems #yeah part of me is amused by the housekeeper #the other part of me wants to throttle them #it doesn’t help that due to families realizing that they can take care of their mildly incapacitated elders at home #all of our newer residents have more severe health concerns #and some mad genius plunked two tub baths on the same shift for people that have difficulty moving quickly #plus the new resident needs a two person transfer...right when I was supposed to be giving a bath #and then the brain trusts that are the powers that be moved a resident down to memory care #without thinking to grab all the safety equipment #so this resident that was a grumbling one assist upstairs had to be a s #slightly difficult two assist downstairs #when the only staff on the unit was a new hire that um could be politely called a ditz #and a longer hire that also could be described as a ditz #i got to play the role of grizzled elder that will gladly show the younguns how to do so #something but I was not messing around #yes I will happily go check on the resident whose call button has been going off for like half an hour #and I will manage to metaphorically argue with the transfer situation #so that the resident stands up safely but I will be calling and letting the nurse know what an absolute crapshow this room movement is #somebody should have let the room pickers know that because of the resident’s arm weakness #they really should use a different room if you want to not break your back toileting the resident #or possibly the aides need to be better at communicating these things to the nurses #cause my working knowledge of the residents is much more workable than what is in the chart #but the last hour or 45 minutes of the shift was a mild disaster
