Hooray! Yesterday I accepted the job as an Activities Assistant for people with Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia, or as the residence calls it, memory loss. This is the work I want to do, so I am very happy. And working part-time, I can take classes or otherwise learn more about dementia and activities.
(Any tips on things to read or watch are welcome.)
According to HR, I will be at entry-level, which is ridiculous since right off the bat I will be expected to plan and lead my own activities.
But here's the cool thing:
I don't feel resentful.
Yeah, I think HR is being narrow brained, but since I negotiated for my extra fifteen cents, I feel mighty!
Yesterday I also went with Mz to her wisdom teeth surgery, which, I'm relieved to say, went about as well as these things can go.
