Well go figure. I was fired from my home health aide job. Here is the scoop-
I was given a new client last week. So I met there with the nursing supervisor (she had to open the case before I could do anything) and while I was waiting for her in the lobby, this guy is walking down the hall and by just looking at him, I had the creeps. I thought to myself, "I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley."
So we get to the apartment and the guy mentioned above answers the door. Lovely. I go in and instantly start feeling sick to my stomach. I just didn't get a good vibe. After the nursing supervisor leaves, the guy is bragging about his extensive gun and knife collection and how his wife sleeps with a loaded gun...and all sorts of other creepy things.
After my time is up, I go outside to get air because I really though I was going to throw up. It wasn't just all the weapons-it was the whole atmosphere. It is so hard to describe in words-but I knew in my gut that something was not right.
So I call the office when I get home. They tell me I have to go the following morning because there is no time to find cover and to call them back afterwards. So when I go, he tells me that after I finish getting his wife ready, he will take her to meet her ride and I need to do some dishes, sweeping and he will be back. So when I come out the room, all the lights are off. The entire place was pitch black. I grabbed my stuff and just left.
So I call the office and get the same nurse who was with me the night before. She agreed that there was something about this place-she felt it too. I told her about him leaving me in the dark to wait for him to come back and some of the other things I had just been informed of a few minutes earlier (an aide was grabbed between her legs). She informed me that they were not taking me off of it. That I should just go and if anything happens, then leave immediately and call them then. I informed her I was never going back (I am suppose to be there 7 days a week-we work 12 on 2 off). She said if I didn't go then I would be fired-I told her I wasn't going ever again. So I was fired.
