Cafe Entre Amis

My dad has decided now after 56 yrs to start asking hard questions I don't know if I can answer. Thanks to his frickin therapist. And if I'm able to answer him there's a very good chance I will either get blamed for everything or I will hurt his feelings so bad that what little is there will be gone between us. I am at a place tonight where I honestly do not know what to do.
 
:coffee: Morning. Well this an interesting turn of events. Father emailed back and wasn't mad and was apologetic for his part in the death of our relationship. And he wants to try to work on it with the time we have left. I'm not sure how well that's gonna go but I'm willing to meet him half way. Things are just kinda messed up for me right now & I'm struggling with my own stuff so it's making it difficult for me to wanna deal with much of anything.

At least the new job has helped bring my stress and anxiety down to a more manageable level. I spent enough time crying last night and this morning I'm gonna feel like shit when I get to work. I have vacation coming but not till October.

Yesterday I was working on my own Creative island in my Fortnite game which is a shooter game but it's not gory or anything. It's actually kinda fun. Helps bring my stress level down some too. For a while it was bugging my anxiety but I figured out why. I can do solo games no problem. Duo games no problem. But the trios and squads were just too much. So I don't play those anymore. There's a couple gun games in there to help with practice. I also need to work on my building skills to help my game play. It's something when you're older and trying to play stuff like that.

I also designed 2 gowns yresterday for my little goth Animal Crossing girl. One was based off a game character from Paladins and the other was based off an Anime character. So I try to keep busy.

I work the next 4 days so I'll see y'all later.

Me too. I was torn about responding honestly.
Work kinda sucked tonight because the Meditech thing that has our bed board on it so we can log in and look to see what rooms need to be cleaned was down all day. We had to physically run floor to floor to see if there were rooms to clean. Some floors couldn't manage to do the written discharges so they let them go all at once. *SMH* It was a bit crazy.

I wish my father had been so forthcoming. Unfortunately, he passed away before we could see eye-to-eye.

You are fortunate to have this opportunity.

He seems to be ok. I was shocked. I'm sorry your daddy passed before you could work things out. I'm gonna try with mine. I've been to 4 funerals in my life and I decided no more. I want to remember them as they are and do my grieving without all the funeral fan fare.
 
I'm getting ready to call it a night. Had a good day at work. Trying to get settled down for the night so I can sleep. Here's some music from around the world to relax to...Night.

 
☕ How's everyone today? It will be another hot one but, I'm hoping work will be kinda slow. I'm working with the same young man today that I worked with yesterday. I like working with him. He's a good worker and a nice person. Tomorrow is my day off so I can be lazy thank God. I have fish and tator tots in the freezer and I don't care how hot it is tomorrow, I'm baking them. LOL! I weighed myself at work last night. I have gained a pound despite all the walking and sweating I've done. I hope it's muscle weight. 😁 But I doubt it. It's my pizza baby. I'm gonna start trying to work on my diet. The exercise is a no go for the time being because I simply don't have the energy. My job is really hard work. So I will at least try to make better selections when eating out or shopping.

I Googled it and most mansions are 5-6 bedrooms. I clean 6-11 hospital rooms a night. All the trash, linens & equipment have to get hauled out first. Then the cleaning & then putting it back together for the next patient and then mopping. By the time I get to room 8 my energy is starting to go downhill. Plus I get called to do stat runs like mopping a floor in a patients room if they spilled or had an accident. Or sweeping up dirt found somewhere or sometimes if I get asked to help the lead pick up a lost and found item and take it to the basement. I will sometimes offer to help her with something if I'm in the vicinity. Sometimes I have to UV shower rooms if they had patients in them with C-DIFF or COVID. It's a bit more interesting than that stupid kitchen job. If I liked people more I wouldn't mind being a CNA but I'm not cut out for that.
 
:coffee: Morning. Gonna be a wicked hot day outside here today. I think maybe just a t-shirt for work is in order. We are starting to see more Covid patients again.

I do not for the life of me understand why they would hire someone who can't speak or understand English well enough to do her job. She is basically helpless. She can't use her Vocera to log in or call the leads if she needs to or anyone else for that matter. In an emergency situation that would be unsafe. She can't use the computer to check bed board to see what to clean. She doesn't understand how to read the physical bed boards and trying to explain it is pointless. She keeps coming to me and holding things out to me and says you do? I told her no you do. The leads are supposed to be babysitting her. Not me. And I'm gonna make them do their job. I'm not taking it on. Nuh uh. She's either gonna learn or she will just have to wander around the hospital not getting anything done. Yesterday was pretty much the last straw. She saw me hit 3rd floor and she came running up to me with her list and made me go down the rooms she pointed at. They were Covid rooms. She said see...I don't know. I got mad and called the lead. They tell me she's been trained and knows what to do. I asked then why does she keep coming to me and acting like she doesn't know how? He asked me at dinner if I was ok. I said no I'm not ok. I'm mad and frustrated with her and the crap we gotta go through to communicate with her. It's unreasonable to me that we should have to be the ones to deal with her. That's what the charges are for. I'm not racist by any means. I'm just not good with dealing with people who can't speak English. That is a key part of the job and why they put her there I don't know. She can't be trusted to do certain rooms so I have to be responsible for those plus the isolation rooms most of the time because nobody wants to do them so they make excuses for me to do them. I'm about ready to have a conversation with the bosses. Other than that...this is a good job and I like it.

Kansas has their first case of Monkey Pox. And there's been reports of a brain eating amoeba in some Kansas lakes. Time to get ready for work. Chow!
