Hoping to cheer myself up as had a crap week!

So I'll start...

This week so far I got called a fing c**t, had a chair thrown at me, had a book thrown at me and been spat at.

Any guesses what I do for a living?

I fill in endless paperwork and when I feel like I’m almost on top of it I’m given last min paperwork. I fill in lots of forms about my service users ranging from how they treat one another to how the people they live with treat them.

right at the bottom of my list, I might actually stand at the front of the room and get my service users to fill in some pieces of paper.

Mental Health Practitioner?

Substance Misuse Recovery Worker?

Guessing @PTSDBarbiegirl is also a TA.

I am too but my week has involved having a snowball fight, being asked for my hand in marriage and the absolute heart swelling joy of a child who couldn’t speak or really interact at all at the beginning of the school year today taking my hands and asking me to play a game with him. And also 100 or so wet paper towels, at least until we ran out of paper towels 😂

Today I had to ask one person not to lick another's shoe. Another came through to my room naked asking to get their bottom wiped. I got told to fuck off. And I was asked what my second favourite colour was.

Bingo 😄 sexual health nurse! It’s either a conversation starter or killer whenever someone asks what I do for a living 😂

I'm part of the woke, liberal, elite, "blob" that "wokes from home" on our Pelotons while trying to scupper the will of our elected representatives.

I get shouted at almost daily over a couple of pickles

I operate machinery, specifically a £14.5 million piece of machinery, said machinery produces a £1.69 product that I'd estimate 95% of people on this thread have in their home right now. I do a lot of paperwork and quality control tests.

I'm now wracking my brains for what I might have in my house that cost £1.69 😂

are you a memeber of the opposition?

I run around like a loon all summer answering questions about sausages and massages. I dig stuff out of riverbanks, set fire to things and hit other things with a hammer.

I do the last three in my second job too, but thats usually inside and alot prettier.

BoglarkaTheTerrifying · 17/01/2024 21:49

I live on Champagne and Canapés, travel a lot and meet Royalty and Presidents. Or that’s what the Daily Mail thinks.

holycrabsticks · 17/01/2024 21:49

This week I've been pooped on, vomited on, and bled on at work. I often hear people screaming and crying, and finally, I get lots of opportunity to practice my catching skills.

Can anybody guess!?
