Funny stories!!

I have been asked (nagged) about posting some of the funny things that have happened to me when working. Now, these things happened back in May when I was still working at Pro-Tem.
I was working a stretch of nights in May before and after graduation at a house other then my normal one. The first stretch of 6 12 hours nights I was paired with one of the regular night staff members from that home. Most of my shifts I worked with Tina.
Now, I must say working double on nights can either be fun or boring… depending on if your partner is fun… I am glad to say she is fun!!!
Now for the stories! The first one is only really funny if you have worked nights and know how it fees when you are super tired and can’t sleep and it’s like 4:30 am!!
What happened is that all night long we put our garbage in the garbage can… veggie peelings and stuff now its 4:30 am and we have to pull the full and over heavy garbage bag out of a cylinder shaped flip top garbage can…. To our horror the bag was suctioned to the bottom of the can!!! This meant we spent about 10 or 15 mins pulling on the bag and then the bag and the can. By the end we were laughing; I was trying not to pee my pants and laugh to loud cause we don’t want to wake the residents at that time of the morning.

The next thing happened when I was again working with Tina but it’s the end of May and I think I am on my last shift at Pro-tem and things have now settled down in the house so they are back to working one staff member.

I just came in for my 730pm start when this good looking family member walks in and asks if he can take his uncle out… Well I hardly ever work there so I ask and they say sure so off they go….. They come back at around 830pm I think anyways.

In the evenings we feed everyone snacks and that night we had toast and jam. Now most of the residents are in bed and I will be cleaning the kitchen soon as everyone is in bed. But I can’t really cause the family member and resident are up chatting and walking around the house. Now, it seemed like this guy wanted to stay and chat with Tina and I and we were not really rushing him out of the house.

So he sits down on one of the chairs and starts asking us about this CD player… well then he stands up and I guess he does something to notice that he SAT IN JAM!!! Well, once he draws our attention to it Tina and I start to laugh!!! He then turns around and wants me to clean it off his BUTT!!! I am really laughing now and tell him he can use the bathroom... he stands there and asks me to wipe it off…. So, what’s a girl to do but wipe it? I must say I question whether or not he was wearing underwear. This jam was basically at his crotch!! He then heads into the bathroom to see whether or not I got it all!!

Well, Tina and I laughed and laughed about that.

All, I can say is that the jam was high and near the seam that meets in the middle of our crotch and then goes down your inner thigh!!!!

I have now shared that story and I hope Tina you are happy and that you have had a good laugh!!
