Ok so it's been a while since the last blog. Still feeling shitty. Go to work then home then go back to work etc.

Getting sick of the lack of team work there and the bullying. I spoke to my sister about it as she is the BIG boss over aged care in this region. I told her I was thinking of quitting and straight out of her mouth was "I don't care where you work" But then we had a longer conversation (we were stuck in traffic) and she said the same crap is all over in this industry and after working in it for 33 years I do know that. ( It is.) At this job I have saved for three cruises and am now debt free apart from rent. As where I work is a public facility and sometimes I am in charge overnight. Its about $4.50 per hour difference from public to private facilities. I only do night shift so get penalties for that and the in-charge rate is still higher again. I really would be an idiot to leave.

So then, I have to work out new stratagies to cope with the crap. I have just completed three nights and rung in sick for tonight because I am mentally over it and just dont want to go. I feel that the poor residents I look after dont need to be around my mood. Three of the people (there is only four on) working tonight are constantly arguing, making snide comments about each other and generally acting like two year olds I dont need to be there to listen to it.

I have told all of them at one point or another to shut up because I don't want to hear it. Either put your complaint in writing and send it to management, deal with it or grow up and shut up. And every time they start whispering bitchy comments I walk away and say I'm not interested.

So, I do try but like today I just can't deal with it. So instead of sleeping after my shift last night I am watching TV and playing with (cuddling) my little dog.

Sorry if I have bored anyone but I just needed to vent.

Hope anyone who reads this has a great week. Cheers.
