Fact: my day was worse than yours

[Libertine]

If I ever consider getting a job in care for the mentally handicapped, please, remind me that it's a bad idea

[TurboAngel]

Ok I will. So what happened?

Let's just say that the first thing I did today, after having coffee, was cleaning up someone else's soiled bed. It didn't get better after that.

<--- 15 years spent working in a hospital, several of those years working with the elderly.


In other words, tell me about it.

My wife works with disabled children. If you think your having a bad day because you need to help them think about them and their situation and not being able to do much of anything for the most part. Get over yourself and your ignorance.

To say working with them is not for you is one thing its another thing to say your having a bad day because you had to help.

I dunno how people in that industry do it.

Well I mean the good people in that industry.

my mother is a registered nurse, so when i was in my teens she would take me to help out with elderly people and disabled kids, disabled kids i can manage, but the elderly they are really demanding...

still if its family or family of a really close friend id do it in a heart beat...

[Basic_man]

That's a real bad idea!

[Adultnet]

Ever spent a week reminding a neurotic, mentally handicapped man of the random names he tries to remember just for the sake of remembering, every 2 or 3 minutes of every waking hour, over and over and over again, until you know the names of all the weathermen on tv on every single station of dozens, all the b-list celebrities on talkshows, all the names of cousins of friends of brothers of people he met 30 years ago by heart?

Ever been accused for months on end by such a mentally handicapped for doing something which he himself does but forgets immediately afterwards?

Ever had someone burst out at you in a violent rage for taking the wrong cup when making coffee?

No?

Then I kindly suggest you shut the fuck up.

I do it, and I am glad to help, but I don't fucking enjoy it. If you think you would, you'd be welcome to come and help.

Today started for me by taking 2 models to the hospital to check for HIV and Hep. One of them came back positive for HIV and the other had Hep B.

I said fuck it, called another model for a condom shoot (ladyboy) and she showed up high as a fucking kite. Sent her home. Called another ladyboy.

She showed up, we started the shoot but she had a limp cock. I said fuck it, had my guy fuck her anyway. He stopped a few minutes in and told her to clean her ass, she had poopy butt. She went to the shitter for 5 mins.

She came back out with her fucking skirt on (my skirt for the shoot) and I grabbed at the back of it and told her to take it off, as I did I touched something wet.

For the SECOND time this week I have had someone else's shit on my hands. Tranny shit.

She ran back to the shitter, cleaned up, came back to shoot and made it all of 5 more minutes until she shit again and pissed off my guy. He threw in the towel. I had to clean shit off a white sheet.

On the way out of the shoot, I was pulled over for not having a helmet while driving my scooter. $15 dollar fine. Big deal right? The scary part was I was sitting there with a back pack full of cams, condoms, lube and DV tapes complete with the days shitty footage and a SD card full of pics. He searched everywhere, saw the cams, didn't look at the tapes. I almost shit my pants. Here, in Thailand, I would have been arrested on the spot for this.

Now I'm home reading about your bad day. Don't feel too bad for you. At least you're not retarded.

The positioning of these sentences is intentional, yes?

See thats the issue, people who help but dont help because they are kind and compassionate, by the sound of what you are saying you would be the reason people are neglected and get injured.

If you dont enjoy it or cant find it in your heart to work with the disabled and not let what goes on around you effect you and your attitude, you should not be helping. Sometime not helping is better for everyone.

So keep on bitching about how hard your life is because you chose to help someone who cant even help themself and apprently your a better person for doing so.

[sicone]

Could be a lot worse. Try removing and cleaning up after bodies for a living

What the fuck are you talking about?

I help because I care about the person. I don't help because I enjoy having to repeat the name of a minor celebrity who was on tv some days ago several hundreds of times in a single night, having to clean up soiled beds, etc.

Congratulations. You seem to have succeeded in posting the single dumbest thing I have ever read on GFY. A remarkable accomplishment.

Has it occurred to you that in quite a few cases, not helping has a serious impact on the lives of others? That, perhaps, if people don't help, it may mean there is no help at all?

Here's an idea for you, dipshit. Go talk to a few people who care for a severely mentally handicapped person 24/7, and ask them if there ever are any "bad days". Better yet, try it out for yourself for a while, and experience those bad days in person. I'd recommend getting an Alzheimer's patient to live with you for a while, it should make it sink in just how bad a bad day can get.

The "aww, it's such a nice, enriching experience to be able to help someone" thing should wear off pretty quickly.

Nice catch.

If it's your JOB and you are being paid to be there, then absolutely you have to find a way to like if not love what you do, no matter how "shitty" things get at times. The focus, after all, is helping those who can't help themselves, and there really is no higher calling.

But if you're someone who isn't working a job but is there anyway, I wouldn't expect them to be used to that sort of thing, thus I wouldn't expect them to actually "like" being there. It's still very commendable to see someone do it just because they care about the person, as not enough family members step up and do this. I've seen way too many patients (especially the elderly) left alone to the care of strangers. Trained hospital staff, yes, but strangers nonetheless.

Libertine deserves a pat on the back for doing it. I wouldn't expect anyone not actually in that line of work to "like" it though.
