Nursing Home Saga Continued...

Lady at lunch: Nurse, this soup tastes awful, what did you put in it?
Note: Lady is scooping up coffee with her spoon

Funny Lady: Nurse, did you know that this is the president?
Me: No, I didn’t. Wow.
Funny Lady: I told my daughter I got to eat with the president today.
Me: And lucky me, I get to serve the president.
Funny Lady: Well, that’s not that special now is it?

Lady: Hey nurse, I didn’t get my  treat
Me: I’ll bring it right away, I promise
Lady: You will?
Me: Of course, go sit down in your room and I’ll bring it right to you
Lady (turns to other HCA): you make sure she brings it!

8 residents asked me if I was married and gave me a sympathetic pat when I said no.

One man- Hey, I’m a half breed don’t you know?
Second man- Oh yeah? What’s that?
First man- My mother is German and my father is Canadian
Second man- well you’re a half breed of nothing

Me at lunch: Can I get you ladies anything else?
Ladies: Anything?
Me: Sure thing, what’ll it be…
Ladies: We’d like money and a ticket outta here please.

Me: okay dear, let’s do something pretty with that hair of yours.
Cute Lady: Can you make it look like yours?
Me: A side ponytail, not the latest fashion…
Cute Lady: well just make me pretty like you.
(I like her)

Not the best day at work…I actually think one of the regulars went home ‘sick’ because she didn’t want to work with someone new. Brutal eh? I wish people wouldn’t be so mean when you’re just starting out, it takes time to learn…
