Forgot to post last night but I arrived in Mollymook yesterday afternoon. I’m here until tomorrow then I start heading home 🏖️
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!
Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.
Just join your union anyway, it’s always a good thing and they need the support too, to advocate for you. Forget cmfuckup, and focus on your own union and the good things they can do for you. :)
I’m so glad this has worked out, and that they know you had nothing to do with it! Enjoy your day and all the beautiful things in your life, you deserve the relief and peace!
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! 😁
Fantastic news.
How does $$$ go missing anyway and I’m guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?
I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren’t going through a nice time if you’re also considering joining a union for protection.
I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.
- Old person hides cash away
- they forget where they left it and search other places
- they decide it was the carer who stole it
- they find it later and call back to say it was found
Old people do be forgetting things lol
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 had an accident trimming my beard last night, the length attachment fell off while using and took a huge chunk of it out. Didn’t have any other option but to trim it all off. I kept the mo and some of the “soul patch” (had to look up what that’s called, strange name). I haven’t been hairless on my face like this for years, it’s an adjustment. Feeling wind on my cheeks this morning was weird and kinda nice. Maybe this was divine intervention to change it up.
My husband’s been growing beards lately and he can’t get the trimming right near the top lip. Doesn’t matter how many you tube videos he’s watched he somehow makes it look weird so he shaves it all off and the growing process starts again.
I don’t care if he has a beard or not. I just don’t want to see food dangling off the mo.
I used to trim my own and it looked pretty bad each time. Started going to the local barbers, and they’re fantastic. I go every 6-8 weeks, and in between trim it myself a bit.
They’re worth it.
Good idea. Maybe I should give it a go first though.
When he goes in for a hair cut he gets his eyebrows trimmed. Surely that’s a sign you’re getting old when the hairdresser asks “Sir would you like your eyebrows trimmed too”?
Gozleme, gozleme, goooozleme
In mood here’s tonights’ sunset
