Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that’s something.
I was going out for dumplings tonight, so now I can go and enjoy myself rather than try and distract myself!
I did! I did want to join the UWU for a number of reasons but the guy I spoke to said they wouldn’t take me on with a pre existing situation so I went for the HWU… we’ll see how it works out.
Thank you - contemplating a nice beach walk and a cakey thing, and tonight is dumplings! 😁
Exactly to all. I forget who said “I’m utterly and abjectly pissed off” but it summed up my state of mind!
Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that’s a relief to say the least.
Change in the attitude of the carer lead was… a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she’s taken me off that client, so all well there.
I’d put in an application to join a union this morning and I’ll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction!
Yipes - got a phone call on my break between clients - major shit has gone down at work.
Better not say too much even semi-anonymously, but it’s time-to-join-the-union-and-get-representation shit.
I see many phone calls in my future…
Oh poo. Thought I had the afternoon off tomorrow but the client is back sooner than we all thought.
I just hope they haven’t discharged her too soon…
Oooh nice.
Just filled the green bin with the grass that’s sprouted in the flower beds, and haven’t even touched the back section around the lemon tree or the front.
Joining the Odd Sleep club - kept on stirring awake every hour or so, with weird dreams the last couple of times.
The one that did me in the end was dreaming I went to a once off client (I work in aged care) and first of all the car wouldn’t move and I was somehow blocking both lanes, then when I got there the client thought he was having heart problems and we agreed we’d wait and see what happened and yeah, if he wanted to finish his electronics project go for it, it’d soothe him whereas I know damned well from first aid training and personal experience that when in doubt you Call The Fucking Ambulance. So basically I couldn’t get back to sleep for going WTAF, plus the cats both using my shoulders as pillows.
Eventually got up and turned on the heater because my face was freezing - took a while for the cats to figure it out but now Zooks is on my lap on the couch. Sammi is probably being a mini-potat in the bed
Work up way too early and couldn’t get back to sleep so put on my big girl pants and went out to do the errands.
Aldi run done, cat litter and replacement gas cylinder for the soda King bought, replacement water jug filters and one of the Kmart Stanley mugs bought since I damaged the other one. Also filled up the car at the cheap petrol place on Kingston road.
Now back home and snuggled up with Sammi. Hoping to get a nap in but one of the neighbors has just started hammering so…
Just back from the vet - very happy with Sammi, they don’t think she needs any more shots for now, I just need to keep an eye on her and contact them if anything changes.
Also Zooki’s ears are fine, so no more drops. Thank Christ.
Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that’s the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.
Had plans to do some tidying and sorting since my morning client cancelled but I’m tired from a busy two days and the cats clearly want to nap on me.
Who am I to deny them?
EDIT: Aaaand just like that they got up.
Just out of the dentist - crown/bridge went well, here’s hoping nothing slips underneath the bridge bit. Will be on soft stuff for a bit.
In feline news, both cats are scarfing down the treats they utterly refused a fortnight back. Cats…
Ha. Mine go up the final week before Christmas if that and the tree Christmas Eve, and down around the 6th January.
Huh. Old school friend (who I lost touch with and have tried to find in and off) friended me on FB and asked me to a mumble year school reunion.
Would love to catch up with her, but as for the other? I’d rather remove my own epidermis with a potato peeler.
Same and same.
Huzzah!
Plans to do a stack of laundry and give the place a bloody good tidying have been foiled after the tireds hit after an Aldi run.
Just crawled in next to Sammi (who’s going well) for a nana nap.
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.
