Thank you, Jonsey, one of the people here (I've seen/heard her before, but don't know her name) woke me up (i guess I took a nap) about a couple hours ago to tell me (1) dinner was coming (2) I had gotten a box from Amazon.
Wouldn't you know it, I loaned my pair of scissors to Cena and she has not returned them after three days and multiple requests (passed on to others to relay to her). So, that's the last itme I loan anyone anything again, unless I get a deposit, worth more than the item. Leave behind ten bucks, I loan you the item (which costs less than $10). Return the item, you get your $10 back. If not, I've made a small profit, and I'll buy another one.
She (the lady who woke me) came back wiih dinner, set it up for me, and opened the box for me, and in it was a transparent bag of "Halloween style" Starburst. I had her put the bag in with the other things i have, so that gets rid of one unnecessary empty box cluttering up my area. I thanked her and she left (with the empty box).
She just came back, she brought one medicine cup with powder in it, and another 1/2 full of "cream to put on your butt," as the other aide (whom I'll call Mr. Jamaica (you can probably guess why), since I didn't see his name tag) said.
I have found my constant practice of politeness and civility is paying off. Mr. Jamaica said I was the only person he liked working with. Probably because I don't yell at people, I don't get mad at them (unless they really screw up badly), I do yelp or cry out when something hurts (or if what they have to do hurts me), I make other noises when I feel strange things, but I try to use "please" when asking for something and almost always say thank you.
In short, I treat the staff, aides and nurses, like they are people, not servants. Most,if not almost all, of the time. Some people here do their job but they're not very nice about it. They never do any misconduct, but I presume sometimes the grind of the job can wear them down and it's reflected in the way they work. I can tell a story from the first floor if anyone's interested.
