I've been in training at my new job, and enjoying every minute of it! I feel so blessed to be working, and even my kids can tell. Kelly asked me, "Does it feel good to say that you can't answer your phone because you're working?" And Laine said, "It must feel good to be earning money again!"
I keep thinking, I'm going to get paid to do this? Paid to love people, nurture them in every way I can, and keep busy doing good? I almost feel guilty for taking money to do what I love doing anyway. Almost.
There are a hundred residents at Nazareth House. There are about 75 employees. So basically, I have to learn 175 names/faces in addition to trying to learn all of my regular responsibilities. I need to learn each resident's particular needs/likes, as well as their unique situation. I conduct one or two morning and afternoon activities personally, oversee the activities of each of the assistants who help with activities, and also arrange staff activities and in-services (training) for them.
I get to work with a lady I really like and admire. She is one of those people who never asks anyone to do anything she wouldn't do herself, and no job is beneath her at Nazareth House.
I think I'm in love. :)
