Confessions of a Nursing Home Worker (Part II)

December 1, 2014

I tried not to get too close to the residents.  As mean as it sounds, the nursing Home was a waiting room for death, and I didn’t want to get friendly with people who were about to die.  I looked at it as a job.  I do it.  I go home.  I don’t think about

Confessions of a Nursing Home Worker (Part I)

November 24, 2014

When I worked in the Nursing Home, we had a fire evacuation plan.  The plan was, we were to report to the auditorium.  A room in the middle of the building with no windows.  Yup.  That’s one hell of a plan. In the event of a fire, we were to report to the windowless room,

I can feel the eyes looking at my face.  When my gaze meets theirs, I can see the fear and worry in their eyes.  They are wondering if someone hit me.  They are wondering if I have an abusive boyfriend.  I would think the same, if I saw a woman with a shiner on her

Don’t Kill Your Heroes

October 5, 2014

The time I was most star struck in my entire life was by someone most would never recognize:  David Sedaris. David Sedaris is an author, one of my favorite writers, and an inspiration to me.  His writing is hilarious, real, and cynical yet warm.  In a way, my love for his work had more of
