text: I once had to sit with an elderly lady who was really mean.\nIt was the weekend shift- two 14 hour days.\n\nAll she did was nap and eat. When she was awake she would complain. Anything nice or any attempts to connect with her were shot down with insults. She'd spill her food on purpose and spit at me sometimes.\n\nI could read while she slept, but after a while that gets boring also and your eyes start to get sore. \n\nShe was really wealthy and lived in a nursing home, so I didn't have to change her diapers- but I was so bored that I would offer to take out the trash and do little things- just for something to do!\n\nFor $6.50 an hour, it was hell. I know some jobs are more physically demanding, but atleast the days go by quicker. 14 hours of sitting on my butt or getting crabbed at was no fun!
