Back to square one

By nurseITHINKNOT - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML

OP this may be a sign you are not a good caregiver, who's to say you probably fed him something he was allergic too, or maybe even caused him some sort of stress. my point is find a new career

43. she is a girl, and is attractive. she has the right to make comments that don't make sense or don't contribute. and to avoid people bitching at me the attractive part isn't why she can it's because she's a woman and that's how they are. if all she has to say is fyl that's why's she has to say :P

well yea but most elderly people tend to die at some point. be glad he passed after 2 hours. would op feel better about the situation if he got to kno the old man first. to me that would make it worse if you developed some kind of bond first.

Who said OP cared about the old man? I'm sure OP is probably jobless now, and that's what he/she/it was talking about.

MizzErikaHart 8

well the op did not say that he/she lost the job. I'm sure op would've said that his/her job was terminated had that happened.

I hate kids. They poop, cry, and sleep only during the day. Older people are better to look after. They poop, cr.... Oh... But I was serious about the hating kids. I don't think I'll be having children until my 'Bio Clock' is well and truly ticking.

I prefer Puppies, they are way cuter and they grow out of pooping and peeing everywhere in just a few months (if trained right). Dogs are the best!

old people poop and cry ALL DAY. they're also more angry and aggressive and can physically attack you. Kids are less of a hassle, trust me I work in a nursing home.

Well if the name thing is anything to go by - 'nurseITHINKNOT' then she's probably so scarred by her experience that she, like, ran away to Bulgaria or something xD
