Remind me why I do this job?

midnightsjaneIt was one of those days when I wondered why the hell I'm still doing this. Today I was in CCU, a place I generally enjoy, today not so much. The guy I was looking after has severe brain damage and behavioural problems because of it, so I know he's not really responsible for his actions. Still, it doesn't make it any better when I get told at various times of the day to a)fuck off b)suck my cock, and c)lick the feces off the guy's foot after he smeared his poop all over himself and the bed. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW. There are no words for how icky that was. I was very tempted to just smack him upside the head. Eww, ewww.
Sometimes the milk of human kindness runs very thin, when the person I'm trying to care for is not the most likeable of humans. It's not supposed to make a difference, but it's a whole lot easier to look after someone who is pleasant and co-operative than with someone who is the complete opposite of that.
No big surprise there.
Still, one of those days when I think maybe I should just retire for good. And I would, if I didn't have all those horses who need to be fed and cared for. This week they're all getting their teeth done.....and I don't have a dental plan for them.
Guess that answers my question, eh?
