@karen the shifter: You make a good point, I have been injured on the job, but I knew the risk when I signed up. I work with adults with disabilities, and part of the job is to help them through crisis, emotional and physical. No injury is intended ( or at least I can hope it isn't ) and at times occurs when trying to maintain a safe environment. It's really just unsettling that the pay doesn't equal the risk for this field. I'm trying to get out and back into school and look at all the options.

In all honesty the pay isn't what's keeping me there. I love what I do, and the thought of not being able to see some of the clients I've built a relationship with is heart breaking.

@dread pirate: It’s okay! I’m trying to find my way out of there but it pays the best in my area. So I’m stuck. Lol

Also I really like the population I work with but it doesn’t pay to be in this field when jobs that pay more don’t have the risk of injury, and have better insurance.

@dread pirate: That’s awesome! Congrats on that! It’s always nice to have the peace of mind to know exactly what you have to do.

My job essentially was like “ figure it out.” It’s still that way and teaching new employees is not management but staff teaching them when they don’t know it that well themselves, which is scary because it’s client care.

I think it’s cool that we all gotta clean and are putting it off. Lol.
I disappeared to change cat boxes and sweep and was like, “ I’m over this.”

Also yes to free food making things better.

Who’s ready to party?

@unicorn: Oh no. It is very sad to watch others go through that, thank fully they aren’t alone and have you. I’m sending good thoughts for all involved.

@unicorn: How are things?

Hi everybody :)

Empathy. This vessel feels too much of everything.
Also, this vessel doesn't stay on this plain when it sleeps, so it wakes up exhausted AF.

@totalanimefan: Thank you, sorry for the delay I was doing laundry. Should be ready on my end.

@totalanimefan: Awesome, thank you! I'll start the trade :)
