Cindy's Job At The Birch Street Nursing Home


This morning at the Birch Street Nursing Home, Mr. Richards called a meeting of all the patients. He said there are still a few minor improvements to do in the activity room, including replacing the drapes, but that meanwhile work should begin in the nurses' office before the head nurse changes her mind about their deal. He divided the patients into two teams. The first team was responsible for removing the calendar and pictures from the walls, while the other team got busy covering the desks and carpet with trashbags, so that no paint would get on anything. Once everything was set, I took out what was left of the yellow paint, and all the patients except Mr. Pearlman got to work painting the office. The head nurse had left a note for me saying that she did not want a mauve accent wall. She also said in her note that the nurses reserve the right to use the activity room whenever the patients aren't in there, but I didn't bother telling the patients that. Only one wall got finished today, and when it was done I saw that there was very little paint left for the other walls. Mrs. Lieberman was not happy about taking more money from the poker fund to spruce up the nurses' office, but she did give me enough for another can of yellow paint and also to pick up the new drapes for the activity room.
