    retail hardware guy.
    just over 60 days at the new job and have been given responsibility of the plumbing department, the biggest selling category in the store. The owner is starting to really like how I work and my overall philosophy and approach to operating a business. today she told me she wishes the store manager would notice/think of the stuff I have talked with her about and actually take action to improve things....

    not the highest pay, but interacting with folks daily is an awesome, challenging and educational endeavor.
    everyone is a mirror and has something to teach.

    Not the paid well part.

    Everything else about my job I love. But it doesn't pay enough. Well, it does, but the cost of living is insanely high.

    So there is that.

    The last job I had was as a caretaker for this old senile woman through a home assisted living company. I was not qualified at all and the boss lied to me about how bad she was. And I think they were asking way too much of one person to do. It was a huge house and they wanted me to clean, do laundry, cook for her, bathe her, all while watching her and making sure she didn't hurt herself. I didn't get anything done my first day because every time I walked away she forgot who I was and she got scared of being alone and would start screaming. Then if I didn't come back fast enough she would get up and fall.

    Before I was about to leave she went to the bathroom by herself and fell in the tub and cut herself. Her husband came home and told me I did a great job and that she usually gets hurt worse than that on the regular. I was sickened. The lady I was working for even told me straight up that the family just wanted her to die already and I was like...is this why they have one person doing all this? Do they want an accident to happen so they don't have to deal with her anymore? They honestly need a separate maid, chef, and someone to sit with her constantly. I was honestly afraid I was going to have a death pinned on me so I didn't stay long. After that I went back to my freelance work because I couldn't handle that kind of pressure.
