I was in the kitchen, so not really working with the residents directly. :p
What had happened was the Dishwasher used there was replaced with a new one, and he messed up installing it and a piece broke off. It was replaced but needed a High Temp Codder pin to hold it in place. I don't know if you know what a Codder pin is, but essentially they are made to hold a lot of force.
In place of that, which would have cost sixty dollars, he shoved a plastic pen into the hole. And after that broke, he used a paper clip. One of the times I got hurt was going back to use that machine and the things snapping. Hurt my hand, nothing serious, just ended up inflaming the tendons pretty badly, ended up fine after a couple days of rest.
I left the retirement home I worked at for four years because the head of Maitenence kept refusing to do his job, and over the last few months I had to go see a doctor three different times because of related injuries. It would be that job, I didn't really want to leave, but there refusal to do anything about that guy put me in a position I was having to choose between the job and my health, so I left before anything serious happened beyond some relatively minor injuries I already took. :p
I went to a nursing home kitchen after that, but I was so disgusted by the standards they ran that kitchen as I couldn't bring myself to stay there.
Went back to a normal kitchen, but after a few months there so many problems were piling up because the kitchen manager just refused to ever spend any time in the kitchen and had no idea what was going on at any given point.
I now seem to be in a relatively sane and stable kitchen though. XD
My daughter and I started watching "you and i are polar opposites" yesterday because you said its so cute and omg we love it😂! Thanks for the recommendation.

But it seems to have finally settled down. I have a couple days to relax myself starting tomorrow, so that will be nice.
Another poem for the wall
I try not to stall
If spirits start to fall
It's called "Sweet Blossoms"!
