One hell of a night

Frikkin

Tired,

Like, omg. 

After I finished my post last night, I spent an hour or so watching my programs, waiting to go back to work. I chugged quite a bit of coffee in hopes that I would be able to stay up all night, and it worked. The graveyard shift at this old folks home wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was able to figure most things out on my own, especially since there was only one other caretaker working. There was a point where she went on break and I was responsible for everyone in the building. It was kind of scary, but mostly because IT WAS STILL ONLY MY FIRST GODDAMN SHIFT BY MYSELF!!! This came to bite me in the butt real bad around 5am, right as some of the residents were waking up. I was supposed to be doing two jobs at once and I got overwhelmed very quickly. 

Even after the rest of the morning crew came in, I was still in over my head. I only had 5 people that I was responsive for taking care of, but unfortunately they all were fairly high maintenance. One lady was having intestinal troubles and was in a lot of pain. She was nervous about me being new, but I think after spending so much time with her, she might be ok with me. We'll see. 

I do really enjoy working at this place, I feel really appreciated and helpful, even when I'm not sure what I'm doing. After the horrors of the morning shift, I asked to be trained in the mornings just so that doesn't happen again. Also, since the graveyard shift wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I might open up my availability for it. Besides, I have quite a bit more free time during the graveyard shift. Maybe I could bring some homework. .  . 

Well, I'm exhausted and I've only napped for about 2 hours or so. I'm going to go drown in a bubble bath.

Behold. As my editor does his homework and my sister's dog does. . . What ever she is doing.

Also, this hallway is beautiful during the day when the sun is shining in, but during night, its scary as hell.

Seriously, I'm so afraid of looking out the windows and seeing something staring at me. Not cool bro.

This is one of the posters on the walls at work. I love the detail and style of it.

So I tried copying it. I only got this far with the drawing. I kept having to stop and actually, you know, do my job. 

All in pen, too!!!
