The Center

As most of you know I have taken the job opportunity as a care technician at a eating disorder clinic, and some might wonder what I actually do in my eight hour shift that brings so much joy in my life, here are just a few:
  1. Flush Toilets
  2. Watch girls eat 6 times a day (big bonus to my job, because if i work the day shift all my meals are paid for)
  3. Try to make sure no one has a huge breakdown (which about three times a day is unpreventable)
  4. Get told to f*** off by angry new patients who were being forced to come by their parents
  5. Become an official facebook stalker during the grave shift when I can't find anything productive to do at 3 am.
But seriously this is the first job I've ever really enjoyed, some days I even feel like I actually make a difference and a bonus is that I get caught up with all of my favorite tv shows during the grave shift because there is absolutely nothing to do the last 7 hours besides checking the girls every half hour to make sure they haven't died of heart failure.
