I have and they do help relax me. But I have a hard time doing them consistently. I have a hard time sticking to anything without external force or structure. There was a period of time when I was meditating for 2 hours a day and reading lots of spiritual books and feeling super great, but I didn't have a full-time job back then. You can't win lol.
random work thoughts..

Woah, I never got asked to wheel patients around or help people eat. That would take up even more time. Sounds incredibly stressful!
Yeah I think the only way to survive in a job like that is to not care so much unfortunately. Management in those places expect too much
The nurses like to park patients in wheelchairs right in front of our cleaning cupboard, so we have to keep wheeling them out of the way. Whilst trying not to slam them directly into a wall like I always nearly manage to.Woah, I never got asked to wheel patients around or help people eat. That would take up even more time.

They also like to give cake (or whatever they've got spare) to the patients who haven't eaten for a long time which is nice, but I guess eating cake in a wheelchair when you're 80 years old isn't easy so we have to help them out sometimes.
The nurses work for the NHS, but the cleaners work for an on-site facilities company (with none of the perks of being a full NHS employee) so there's a bit of a disconnect there.
Two ladies at my work had a very heated disagreement this evening. The word that starts with b and rhymes with 'itch' was in frequent use. It was getting pretty vocal and unpleasant so I snuck out before the inevitable fist fight started.
I hope they make up and become friends again. It's not my business what caused their falling out but I will pray that things are sorted out amicably between them.

There is a nurse in one of my areas at work who was always very nice to me. But I could never remember her name. So I asked my workmate what her name was. My workmate then went and blatantly just told her that I forgot her name and asked what her name was! So now she doesn't seem to like me any more.
There's another nurse, a male one, there who just obviously doesn't have much patience for me and is sarcastic with me. I don't blame them at all as I can be a difficult person to get along with, but it is disappointing when it happens and I have to accept it's my fault sadly
These things never work out well for me. I get on well enough with a young guy there, and a lady about my age. I seem to get on okay with the ladies I work with. But the rest of them don't like me, I swear. All the nurses stare at me like I've got two heads. It's probably going to be one of those jobs I have to leave for a new one just because I'm too unpopular.

The liftgate is broken in my truck and won't be fixed until Monday. I have the option of running it anyway tonight or driving our junk substitute truck.
My truck:
Governed at 70mph
Has side door
Can open back door without operating the liftgate to quickly grab stuff off the back
Obviously liftgate isn't working, so will have to carry everything by hand off and on the truck
Sub truck:
Governed at 72mph
No side door
Can't access back door without running liftgate all the way down and then all the way back up after and it's very slow like 30 seconds each way
![Forehead Face Nose Hair Cheek]()
Me calculating which option will get me off work earlier on a Friday night.

I shouldn't be so bothered about it all but I'm getting a bit depressed about social stuff at my job.
I'm a man who works with four women and everybody says 'Good evening ladies!' as they walk past us. I'm like: "I'M HERE TOO!" but I guess I don't even warrant an acknowledgement. Same as yesterday, my supervisor individually said goodbye to everybody EXCEPT ME. This is the same boss who flat refused to say hello to me when we first met and just made an 'ew!' face at me. Also yesterday one of the nurses called me a freak when she thought I couldn't hear her.
But I understand I'm difficult to get to know and I look a bit of a rum 'un so I can't have too many complaints. It's just sad really as I quite like the people I work with. It's a shame but I have to accept that this job is too socially demanding for me and I need to find a more solitary occupation. I need to do this before I cause any more upset for other people.
