I've already fallen in 'like' with the asst. DON at the new place!! After talking to her a few times I've discovered that she has a strange sense of humor - just like mine - I got to laughing at some of the things she said and she told me "Well, you gotta have FUN once in awhile." Outstanding!!:roll
I did get a little teary today leaving some of the residents - they've been in a twitter the last couple of days since they heard I was leaving.
My absolute favorite doll of all time was very upset - I SO enjoyed our time together in the early AM - she is WC bound, kinda forgetful, but so funny - and I like to tell her jokes and stories and such to get her laughing.
She told me she hoped my new job worked out, and I told her if it didn't, I'd probably just come out there, pull up a chair next to hers, and we'd think up tricks to pull on people all day. From the other side of the room, I heard this little voice say "I hope you two don't play any tricks on me!" It was her little roommate - we all got a big laugh out of that!:)
Its sad to leave, but nice to know the folk you care for, care for you too. I had a tearful day too before I left my last post. Lots of residents wishing me well, a few crying, some asked me not to go. I still keep in touch with the matron and some of the residents and pop in when I'm in the area.

Well, this is my last weekend at the old place! Yippee!!
:roll
I already KNOW the new one is going to be better - I was prepared to fight for at least a week of orientation - but the new DON doesn't have me scheduled on my own until the middle of DECEMBER!!!
:yeah:
After only getting 3 days at the other place - this just sounds like heaven!:)
I'm gonna do one nite next week, then off for the holiday, then officially start the next!
