sometimes i cant control how much stress i have to handle, it could be small things from the kids fighting or things that go wrong like my electral problem ,
this was bad enough when it happend at home but when it happened at work last tues night i had other ppl who myself and the person i was working with were responsible for ,
we couldnt turn the power back on in the main part of the building as there were sparks comming of the trip so i started making phonecalls while the person with me checked the residents,
we have no onsite person on charge my first phone call was to the boss( the owner ) answer phone , then the assistant manager her phone was turned of so then tried the other assistant manger who was on leave who asked what we had tried as we couldnt get any other advice she sugested going into the office to see if there was a noumber for a electrician but it was dark and we couldnt find a noumber so i sugested using the one that i called a few days before she gave me the go ahead and then told me to leave a messsage on the boss phone using my mobile as our phones were out as they were plugged into the mains, the electricanm turned up sorted out what the problem was made it safe and got most of the eletric working but the boss phoned and said i should of just moved the residents , how no lights , stair lift was eletric , it was raining the fire exit isnt man enough to take a resident in a wheel chair and the distress this would of caused just to save him self the call out fee,
like i said some of the stress is uncontrolable ,
today my hubby and myself went to watch the footie in the club without the children normally they all find something to do when i came home my second eldest said my oldest had gone with my sister in law to the market but on phoning the sister in law she wasnt with them so now im panicking as i couldnt see her and she doesnt normally stray far away from the house my emidiate thoughts were that she had gone into the neighbours house which is not allowed but after a few more minutes my youngest came other from her friends and told us she had gone up to a juble sale up the road not taking her phone or telling anybody were she had gone,
as her mental age is average between 8 and 10 and not her real age of 21 1/2 my panicking just made lots of stress thanks for letting me rant
