So, today i started a new job. Your probably thinking I started some fun job. Maybe at the mall, or some neat restaurant. But no, I started a job at the nursing home.
Its actually not all that bad, besides the fact that I have to clean dishes and be on my feet for over 4 hours. Some things can be fun though, when the sweet old people say nice things or smile at you.
Today it wasnt bad because my cousin Madi is the one to train me. I get to go to work for two days with her, so I can learn everything. Although I wish I could work with her everyday, I'll be happy with the two days that I do get to.
The first day actually went okay. We got there at 4:00 and got to work right away. We got our hair nets on,which are blue...and not the cutest things ive ever seen. We started out by setting the table and getting everything ready. After that we got the pitchers ready and set them all out. We served the food, washed the dishes, moped, took the trash out, and many other things that I cant even remember.
The best part of tonight was when this little old lady would talk to us. Shes about 90 years old im guessing and has alztimers. Everytime I would walk by she would say the funniest things. When i clanked the silverware a little, she got a little angry and warned me not to do it again. But she did tell me that she wouldnt tell on me this time and that she'd let me get away with it. That was hilarious to me.
All in all, today went pretty well. It was the first day at a new job so of course there will be some challenges. But hey, its money.

I like your outlook! Hairnets can be fashonable, hey I've worn one for a year! I totally understand how cool it is to go into work and have people truly happy to see you, it's the best thing.
ReplyDeletehaha! I can just picture a little, old lady saying that to you. That's classic. :) These are the life experiences you won't forget and can someday tell your kids, "When I was young, I had to wear blue hair nets and converse with 90 year olds.." haha Sounds like you are going to make some friends whether you want to or not. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty good job, so far! ;) I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, but at least you can say that the people you are working with appreciate all that you are doing, regardless of if they remember to tell you so.
