my new job

hello, my name is charity, and i just started a new job two days ago. This job is at an assisstant living facility. I worked at Hooters at first but then i felt like i needed something that i can put on my resume, so i got a new job. this new job gives me more hours and more money, so thats good. At hooters i had to dress up everyday, be in perfect shape, put on tons of makeup, get harrassed by old, crusty, guys, and i didnt even get that many hours, or enough pay for what i did. At my new job. I get way more hours, and im getting experience with working with people. When i first started i didnt know how to deal with it because i didnt know how to act around the elderly. i didnt know how they would take to me, and i didnt want to offend anyone, but when i got to working i started feeling more comfortable working around them. On my first day i took vital signs which is blood pressure, pulse, and respirations. This was the first thing i had to do when i came in. I had to do it to all 24 members of the facility. Taking vitals got me use to interacting with them. But I also had to help them use the restroom, take baths, and get into bed. Throughout the day i have to help them travel to and from dinner, and with whatever else they need to do on a daily basis. Im really starting to like this job, and it helping me pay bills alot more than my oher job. I also do alot less work at my new job. I hope i keep it for a while because i want to work there as long as possible.
