Today is my last day at my current job. I cannot believe that I’m leaving my little cocoon where I’m surrounded by 400 old people who love me to death! I also cannot believe that I’ve been working at a ‘real’ job for an entire year! Where did the last year go? It feels like [...]

Today I distributed my “goodbye” letter to the residents telling them that I am leaving. I’m getting all kinds of mixed emotions from anger, sadness, excitement, shock, and even physical illness. A few have said that they are “just sick” about me leaving. I’m taking it all as a big, huge compliment! The fact that [...]

Short post today as I’m taking some time to write my “Goodbye” letter to my beloved residents. Word got out that I’m leaving so a few of my residents already know. I figured I’d better get a formal resignation letter out to them ASAP so I can quit avoiding those awkward situations when ‘Betty’ asks [...]

Not all old people gross me out. For the most part I feel that older people are rather clean and have good hygiene. But as a program director at a senior living facility-I see both sides of the cleanliness spectrum. I’ve been around a gentleman who had scabies. I’ve been enlisted to inspect a residents’ [...]

I’ve got some issues. Don’t we all? And mine aren’t breaking news type of issues, but I’m bothered none the less. And since I can say whatever I want to on my blog, I’m going to. And I’m going to complain. Maybe it will help me. Maybe not? First of all…my job. My boss to be [...]

Last night I was out till the wee hours of the morning. Ok, so maybe midnight isn’t the wee hours of the morning. I was on a trip with my residents to Humble, Texas. We attended “The Opry in Humble” An Opry is a show featuring country music with some redneck comedy mixed in. I [...]

Wasn’t that a Spice Girls song? It was. I was pretending like I kinda thought it might be, but I didn’t know. I could probably sing every single song on that CD. So could my friend Jessica. She was obsessed. Anyways….this post isn’t about the Spice Girls. It’s about being old. I’m back to work [...]

Here, let me explain myself. My job as an Activity Planner gives me the opportunity to be busy all day. And not the sucky kind of busy-like entering numbers into a data base busy, but busy like walking all over the place doing this and that. I currently teach two “classes.” On Monday’s I teach [...]

Sundays suck. I know you may me wondering if I meant to say, “Mondays Suck!” Nope, Mondays are OK, but Sundays suck. I hate them because that means that the weekend is already over and it’s time to go back to work. I don’t care how much you enjoy your job, it still sucks when you [...]
