Today was an oddly rough day...

It didn't start out that way...I woke up from a wonderful dream, wondering why in the middle of it was a pink ice cream maker...

I headed to work with a lecture from Mum...I tried to understand where she was coming from. Honestly, I'm trying my best here and I'm even frustrated with myself.

I went to work and we were short again...big surprise. But the night crew didn't get any of my section up but the 2 easiest people to get up...so that left me with 6 2-people lifts and 1 1-person lift. Then the woman helping me had 2 2-people lifts to do. So yes we were 20 min late to breakfast. However the other two women working...were no where to be found. And I would have thought the charge nurse would have been more understanding knowing we were 2 people short. So I was yelled at about that...then I was called off of my break to get a woman a glass of water. Then baths weren't assigned so I went ahead and got one...talked to the lady and was preparing for it...so i wouldn't get in trouble about that either...and without a word suddenly baths are assigned and no one has the balls to tell me. The woman I was suppose to give a bath now to....was in the beauty shop getting her hair done. So there goes the rule of having baths done before lunch. I ended up not going to lunch...I worked straight through. I was upset and lost control over a few tears but I was setermined not to give her anything to write me up for. Then she tells me after she gets back from her lunch that I have to ask a particular worker for help because I'm too slow with the other co-worker. So next time i needed help...that particular one was busy said no and then when I asked the charge nurse for help she said no find someone else. So I ended up finding the original co-worker that was the only on willing to help me...and just doing it slow. Now by lunch time I had passed my ice, made beds, changed everyone but 2 people and passed snacks and helped with one bath. That wasn't good enough though...not by a long shot. So anyways...to make this already long story short...I got chewed out 3 times today....never written up, which is good...but still 4 workers on a 6 worker floor...of course you can't do the same level of work you did before...some things are going to be late and people are going to have to stretch thier patience...

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
