Why Me

I understand that there is a certain way to do things at a job but im the type of person that thinks if you can do the same job in a different way and still come out with the same result then who cares how you do it. Well at work they thought i would be a good idea to put cody in the kitchen...hmmm lets think about this one for a second. Cody is a nursing student not a culinary arts student but he is still expected to cook a meal for 32 very gripey old people who don't appreciate anything. You could bring in Wolfgang Puck to cook for them and they still would have something negitive to say about it. Anyways back to what i was saying, if i wanted to cook instead of becoming more experienced in my trade i would have went to McDonalds or Pizza Hut but no these people seem to think that it would be funny to stick me in the kitchen. The worse part about it is they don't give you enough time for the tasks assinged that day. So when i stay to coplete the job right i get this little note on my time card "NO OVERTIME WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL." Well then when i clock out and leave on time and not everything is done then i get pulled into the D.O.N.'s office and get told "Your not completing your job you need to be getting everything done before you leave" Come on cant they just make up their minds jeez louise so this makes me ask the question "Why do I always get stuck in all these unfortunate situations whenever alls i try to do is help?" And that was my bump in the road for today

  1. I know how you feel in certain situations, I was a CNA for years. It sounds like maybe you don't really enjoy the job that much? The thing with being an aid is that it's the bottom of the totem pole, it's the hardest and least appreciated job in the industry. To make it worth it, you just need to find that one special elderly person that makes you smile. Another way to think about it is that when we were kids, how appreciative were we of our parents? Not very...well when we get older, the tables turn. They may not realize everything you're doing, but you have to know and feel good in your own heart about what you're doing, even without the recognition. If not, then maybe this isn't the thing for you.
