i stayed up until midnight working on my assignment then got up at six this morning and worked on it some more. i’ve just now finished the final commenting, bug reporting and printing. i will not even think about it again until i hand it in tonight.
\nthe other morning while getting ready for work, i heard on the radio that a woman who worked in a care facility was terminated for putting an elderly resident, secured into a geriatric chair, into a closet overnight. she has recently had that termination overturned and is now serving a several month suspension without pay instead. i very nearly became physically ill at the thought. it took a lot of self control for me not to completely rage and lose it at the mere thought of someone doing that to another person. i just kept going back to what that poor resident must have been thinking and feeling as they were shut up in a closet for the night. even now, i can feel the fury rising inside me.
\ni just don’t understand what it is about people that makes them think it’s okay to abuse or mis-treat seniors in this manner. why aren’t we more compassionate with the people who can do the least for themselves? i need to find out if there are any seniors advocacy groups in the area i can get involved in or, at the very least, financially support. maybe i’ll try to find time to go volunteer at a care facility again. i did a little bit of that in highschool and i did enjoy myself quite a bit.
\nlately, i’ve been experiencing quite a bit of road rage. i’m swearing and yelling at other drivers a lot more than i normally do. i caught myself doing it yesterday on the way home. i don’t know if this is a continuing trend, but i hope not. i don’t particularily like being an asshole driver. i’ve prided myself on being pretty level-headed behind the wheel. maybe when i’m not stressing about other things i’ll calm down in my car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
