When you make us
Sandwiches spread the butter
Right to the very edge
On both sides. She
Was mad as a hatter.
I think there is two
Diazepam in there:
Oh no I will end up
Back in hospital. No!
Let me check.
No it is just like
The sheet says.
There is no mistake.
Six and two threes.
Never heard that before.
Powdered tea. Why
Not tea bags?
I did not put
Enough in the first time.
Then the train
Sees I have put
The milk in first
While I am waiting
And says with tea
The milk goes in last.
I do not say,
I drink tea myself
And the woman's
Dosset was fine.
I was leaving so
If she told the other
Carers it was wrong,
I had no will
Left to fight my case.
Screw them. I was leaving.
They park their car
Behind mine overlapping
My path to reverse
And I have to
Meticulously perform a
Ten point turn.
And normally they
Were in a rush.
But this time train
Was deliberately waiting
For me to go so
They could say I
Had been in hospital.
Because she jumped
Out of her skin
And I heard hushed talking
When I popped my
Head around the
Door and I say:
Sorry I am not
Eavesdropping but I
Am ok to go?
And they say, ah ah sh..
I thought you had left
To go to next client.
It was blatantly obvious
They were spilling the beans,
To a client of all people.
That is gross misconduct.
Tell the staff. I can
Understand. Since
You did anyway.
A client? That
Was not proffessional.
And the letter
Through my door
When you knew
I was leaving.
That was not necessary.
But it is ok.
When I phoned
Up to say I could
Not work the last
Week as I needed
Blood tests, your
Voice cracked up.
You thought it was cancer.
Because I had been
Losing weight since
Splitting from fiance.
But at the end
Of the day, the
Clients did prefer
More flamboyant and gregarious
Staff to lighten the day.
I was not bubbly
And I did not care
Much for a
Popularity contest either.
It was just a job.
That was it.
A means to an end.
But at least I
Could say I was
Making a difference
And I had a
Proper title.
I was "a" something
Not just a dispensable
Shop worker and
The pay was much better.
It did not feel like
A "dead end" job either.
It was not
The easy way out
I can tell you.
And I was arrogant.
To think I could
Fit the mould
With no prior experience.
The TL was right
To have thier
Doubts about me.
