stress

Arrived on shift and was advised by my colleague that staff member due to relieve me later (4pm) was ill and would not be in. Stressful, as I'm due to work with person 2 at 5pm! :( The onus is now on me to try to find cover for later and also for this colleague's next shift, this coming Sun-Mon and sleep over. Management sometimes try to say colleagues should try to find cover but that's daft, if you're not well, you're not up to making endless calls!

Although the stress of trying to travel to customers calls on time. We done something really wonderful that made us feel good... after over seven weeks in hospital and in her bed since she got home, we got a lady out of her bed for the first time in three weeks, she was so so delighted. It was really rewarding for us that we were able to assist someone out of her bed when she hadn't been up in so long. After this week, and weekend I feel very honoured to work in the care sector as I'm lucky enough to work with such kind people who always appreciate what you do for them.
