The bar is quiet. My client is... somewhere... So yeah... 

As a lot of you are aware, I have two jobs. One as a caregiver for special needs people and another as a caregiver for the elderly. For the elderly I have a uniform: dark blue polo, kaki's, and a name tag. This creates, minor, albeit annoying, situations. 

So I often go grocery shopping, and people tend to ignore that I'm assisting my client and will ask me where certain things are. This isn't normally an issue but my current client is a high risk fall victim that needs all of my attention. Of course, I can't blame people for not knowing but this week alone I've had 4 people think I worked for a few different stores. Some angry, some just wanting to know something:

Ex 1: "Um, excuse me, could you open up another register? I'm in a hurry and need to get out of here quick."

Me: "Oh no, I, uh, don't actually work here! I'm a senior caregiver!"

Her: "Oh! I'm so sorry!" *looks at my client* "Sorry I almost stole him from you!"

Ex 2: "Hey!"

Me: "Um, hello."

Him: "Yeah, what the fuck is your stores problem? I've been getting nothing but shitty service all day trying to return this *holding a big vacuum box* and all of you guys are being fucking assholes. You a manager?"

Me: "Uh, no, I don't work here. I take care of elderly people."

Him: *looks at my nametag and realizes his mistake* "Oh shit! Sorry man! Aight, well you have a good day then!"

Lol, you should take it with humor.

Like I said, if it was any other type of client, I would. But my current can't be out of my attention for more than a few seconds at a time. He's got weakening legs (refuses to use a cane though) and a severe brain injury which causes him to forget where he is or why he is where he is + hallucinations. So he has to be my main priority. If it was my bar client, yeah XD but for this client I can wear whatever I want

Sounds like a lot of responsibility with the elderly. You talk about work a lot, I imagine it is the majority of your life right now, possibly more then sleep even. Do you have any other hobbies besides GF, games and anime?

I spend 80hrs of work a week, 3-4hrs minimum with my gf a day, find time to play and care for my dog, and do schooling + game. Absolutely no time for anime XD I sometimes watch what my gf is into. But she hasnt been in an anime mood as of late. Mostly been watching the new Samurai Jack and Youtube. Occasionally we'll watch a movie. Once I get a better job things won't be so hectic, but until then...

I admit, if I lived with a gf. It would be quite the timesink at first, would definitely lose time with some of my hobbies.

I finished my semester in college, and got all of this free time all of a sudden. But my computer can't play games anymore, and I forgot my TV. Thus I sit here and watch anime/ listen to music most nights. And of course posting in the numerous StarOcean threads.

Oh I don't live with her XD she lives with her family still. However her mom did weirdly offer me to rent a condo off to me on the condition that I marry her daughter someday o.o which Im totally okay with since I want to XD the cool thing is she says to me (fixed it so it's in full english, her mom is Cantonese), "If you marry my daughter, I'll give you back all the money you paid rent for. Consider it a savings for buying a house for her. If you or she leaves each other, then forget about it. But if you do, the money is all yours and you basically rented for free."

Ah how was this semester?

You understand any Cantonese?

My semester went off without a hitch for the most part. Well for classes anyways. Been trying to make friends lately, since my old friends graduated. Not exactly successful, as I give off good first impressions but the relationships somewhat fizzle out by the end with all the stress from classes bogging us down. Got 1 more year to attempt it again.

If I had a nickle for every time I was offered the opportunity to rent property on the condition of marriage, I'd have a big bowl of nickle soup. Hi StarOcean! I thought of you when I was at Chapters today, and saw a strategy guide for a game called Star Ocean! I actually got dizzy!

Only bits and pieces I've picked up over being with my gf XD my gf barely knows it but she has a few words from her mom

Oh, I see I see. Making friends can be difficult. I struggled for a while. My personality has evolved into me sounding sarcastic with a bit of an over the top cynical side which for whatever reason people like. Of course theres a lot more to it than that, but I'd say thats most peoples first impression of me XD but it makes people wanna be my friend. So I must be doing something right!
