I have successfully moved and started my new job here in Hickory.

I am still living our of boxes as there is so much crap I have accumulated over the years, but it will be put away in time.

I accepted my job at the Long Term Care Center (aka Old Folks Home) because of the 45 some jobs I applied for on Indeed it was the first I heard back from. No interview, just paper work and a start date.

All places like that are essentially the same.Once you walk in all you want to do is walk the hell out. Nothing makes you lose your fear of Hell and Death like an old folks home. You are surrounded by misery. Its one of the reasons that I plan to kill myself when I turn 50.

This place is particularly poorly run. Flys abound and there was human shit on the walls and floor of some of the rooms. Vital supplies constantly run short and trash and soiled linen overflow their containers and into the floor.

The staff is rude and poorly trained. It took me until halfway through my second day that someone showed me were the charts are. They punish me for being ignorant of things that they have known for years.

There are people there that scream and howl. They have been their for decades, bloated and useless, tubes and wires running in and out of holes in their bodies. 

At a staff meeting the administrators told us that October 24th will be our next audit by the state.If we do not correct the 17 violations and 3 imminent danger violations they will shut us down.

I will stick with it as long as I can. But the first chance I get I am jumping and getting the fuck out.
