Well I started my nightshift at 21:30 and had to go see few clients around town first.

I then arrived to our "homebase" which is grouphome for elderly people around 22:30.

First I thought someone had spilled berry soup on the floor as there was a metal soup pot lid on the floor.
But nope it was blood... lot of blood, as one of the elders had had massive nose bleed.
It took me almost an hour to get it stop.
I showered her, changed her beddings and clothes, and took 2 large carpets and 2 laundry baskets to the laundryroom.

Then I started cleaning the corridors as she had wandered around the house, touching walls, cabinets, doors, etc...

It took me 4 hours to get all (if I even found everything).
I washed the floors twice but blood smell still lingers around.

Other elderly also came to watch what I was doing, and let's say they were somewhat shocked looking.

Anyway, the lesson of the story:
DO NOT WORK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!
Go get wasted instead.

Ugh.  That sucks.  I hate working on my birthday. 

Hopefully you can get wasted afterwards instead.  ;D

Try to have a happy birthday anyway.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Thank you.

Actually I chose to work as I knew non of my siblings have time to go partying (that is Finnish style... ;)) in the middle of the week.
And my brother's batchelor party was month ago... and my Juhannus 3 months from now... I think I'll let my liver have a little rest time. ;D

Anyway... I just got home, I'll go to sleep and back to work in 14 hours. ;)
Hopefully next night is quiet.

Happy "official" birthday.  Now I see the birthday cake in your profile.  I didn't see it yesterday, so I assumed it had been the day before.

First off, happy birthday!  Secondly, damn.....that really sounds like a rough night.  My ex used to work at a nursing home and would tell me the stories of the place.  Basically, if you're a nurse expecting to take care of old people sitting around wanting to tell stories, then the reality check is pretty heavy.  And the worst part she said, was the paperwork drill, especially if one of the patients had a fall.  I absolutely recommend getting drunk now, and as a rum guy, there's some pretty smooth and mellow ways to do it!

Finnish people are so advanced that we have always operated in digital mode, in this case sober or absolutely hammered. :D
Besides I'm at work, and none of the clients have any alcohol currently. ;)

Well we have quite relaxed work pace currently so we have time to talk and listen to the elderly.
Yeah the paper work is taking time as the mobile connections are quite slow due to increased security programs taking bandwidth.
It has eased a bit after we got smartphones we can use on the road instead of having to go to computer at one of our bases (laptops did not work fast enough and ran out of power too fast).
Smartphones also have app where we just click when we start taking care of client and when we stop.
Saves over and hour a day.

I do know how strict the paperwork was in Canada (where I did one of the work studies while at school) so I assume it's about the same in US if not stricter.
In Canada every pill given had to be signed even if it was going everyday, and even bandage.

It's not nearly as strict here.
We type more on general level and only write extra medication give (not even always that if it's just Tylenol or such).

Here if some falls and does hurt we just help them up, maybe if it happens often we do write it up so we can see how often it happens. And if the fall is bad we just call ambulance and let them do the paperwork. ;)

See, I absolutely refuse to work on my birthday. I don't care if no one can go out to party or even if anyone remembers. It's my birthday, so I'm taking a me day. The rest of the world can piss off.

Anyway, happy birthday to you.

That sucks.  I had a few shitty nights at work myself.  Had a guy waving a gun and then had trashcan lids thrown at me.  Man I love my job!  Gotta love the heroin addicts that run the streets here in Seattle.

My birthday is on the 6th of October, and since I'm an accountant, I'm always busiest during the first week of the month and taking vacation days isn't an option.  So the only way I can get the day off on my birthday is if it falls on the weekend....... and even then, only if I'm not so busy that I don't have to work weekends. :-[
