Cindy's Job At The Birch Street Nursing Home

When I got to the Birch Street Nursing Home this morning, I was suprised that there was no new note from the head nurse about the work going on in the activity room. Mr. Richards, in his brief meeting on the goals for the day, said the plan was to just finish painting the mauve accent wall, since Mrs. Lieberman had told him she had an itch to play some poker. It took much more time than he expected, but we did finish painting the accent wall, which was the final bit of painting for this project. Somehow even more paint ended up on the carpet, but that will be taken care of next week. After we cleaned the paint brushes, we had enough time for only two hands of poker before some of the patients began nodding off.

When I got to the Birch Street Nursing Home this morning, there was a note from the head nurse telling me she had noticed all the paint on the carpet of the activity room and that it must be taken care of. I quickly wrote a note reminding her that the patients' original proposal included pulling up the carpet. After Mr. Richards led a brief meeting on the goals for the day, painting continued. The patients got a lot done, finishing up the yellow walls and starting on the mauve accent wall. Now the carpet has two colors on it.

Kiddies, if you're concerned about job security, rather than working toward additional degrees or certifications in your chosen field, simply dig up some dirt on your boss. It's faster and more fun.

It took me longer to walk to the Birch Street Nursing Home this morning because I was carrying three cans of yellow paint and one can of mauve. And my backpack was stuffed with paintbrushes and a paint tray. When I got there, the patients were already gathered in the activity room and ready to start painting the walls. Mrs. Kunkle suggested we first put down something to protect the carpet. Mr. Matthews jumped in and said we could use one of Mrs. Henley's dresses to cover the entire area, but Mr. Richards said that the carpet will be replaced in a couple of weeks anyway. I passed out paintbrushes to all the patients and opened the first can of yellow paint. Once everyone was busy at work, I slipped out to buy a box of Valentine's Day chocolates to share with the patients. When I got back, I saw that a little progress had been made on one of the walls. However, quite a bit of paint was on the carpet and Mr. Pearlman had wandered over to the window and was busy painting it yellow. I quickly grabbed a clean brush from my backpack and swapped that one for the one he was using, and let him get back to it. When we were done painting for the day, the patients enjoyed the Valentine's Day chocolates. I hope the paint isn't toxic because Mrs. Henley did not wash her hands before digging into that box.

A Tip From Grandmother Winsome

Kiddies, certain words mean different things in different places. So if a British associate wants to store a body in your boot, don't worry that he thinks he can force a corpse into your footwear. It means he wants to leave a body in the trunk of your car.

This morning at the Birch Street Nursing Home, I received the head nurse's response to the patients' latest proposal for improving the look of the activity room. She said that if the patients are able to raise the necessary money themselves, they can go ahead with their improvements, but with one exception. She vetoed the fuchsia accent wall. When I told the patients the head nurse approved of the bulk of the proposal, they got excited. Mr. Richards was a little disappointed about the fuchsia wall, but after a few seconds said we could paint it mauve instead. Then he began enthusiastically listing supplies we would need for this project, so I got the notebook out of my backpack and tried to keep up with all his ideas. Mr. Richards said that the first phase of the project should be painting the walls, and the other patients all agreed. Mrs. Lieberman handed me the money to purchase several cans of yellow paint and one can of mauve. Before I left, Mr. Richards reminded me to get enough paintbrushes for everyone.
