Hmm … I see I might be repeating myself.
Eight hours of jam pack thrills, by which I mean,
work. Work against residents' destructive
urges. Against obscene drama, obscene
conditions. The State waits, servile, passive,
never addressing Administrators
who cut costs by having nurse aides work "short;"
who fire at will any malcontents. Slurs
aside; for each mishap, lack of support,
each time we err the State takes notes and our
nursing aide certificate lasts as long
as no mishap occurs. Another hour
I can go home. One slow response, one wrong
move — all this is gone. There is no welcome
to thrive, to keep on in such a system.

You’re a warrior, Zachary, adherant to the true, traditional definition.
Way to go.
