I am tall. I volunteer at a nursing home. I am in college. I need money to pay for my expenses. I would like to become a nurse. My college is near the nursing home where I will work next week. I was offered a job at the nursing home. My working hours will be flexible. I work and go to school at the same time. I like being outdoors. I hike and mountain bike.
I make bagels. I like to paint. I like cartography. I like to arm wrestle. I spent 17 years in nursing. I find my work physically demanding. I work at a hospital.
My work at nursing home started great, i made a few new friends at work already. That's great!  Who are these new friends or yours? They are working together with me. We hit it off very fast, I am glad I met them. Oh, that's so great.  It's always so much more rewarding and enjoyable to go to work if you like the people you work with. Very true. How is work going for you? It's going fine.  Had a few rough days recently but those come with some regularity and you just have to push through them and hope things go more smoothly the next day. Oh I'm sorry to hear about the rough days. I volunteer at a nursing home and I totally get what you mean. How are your interactions with the residents?  I've worked with the elderly and they really run the gamut.  Some are very warm and rewarding to work with and others are very difficult, although I don't blame them for that. Me neither. It just depends on the person. I sometimes have difficulty trying to handle the residents but I try my best. How are you finding it to fit the work into your schedule and balance it with college?  You had said the hours were flexible.  Are you finding time to do everything and still have some time for yourself? The one I was working wasn't as flexible, but I will be starting at another place close to my college next week so I should be good. That's good.  I know you've got a lot on your plate so I'll be thinking about you and hoping it goes well.  Hey, what do you think about me making you some bagels?  And if you don't like them you can give them to people at the nursing home.
