OMG, in the last week, I have never more wanted to put all of these girls over my knee and spank the living daylights out of them. Well, aside from one of them. One of these girls on the nightshift is a developmentally-disabled girl (I don't know the term they use in England); she has Down Sydrome, if I'm guessing correctly, and is the only legal adult amongst them (she'll turn 24 next week, but given her condition she is no more "legal" than the younger girls).
But my God, I have now, twice in the last week, showed up for my morning shift only to discover that these girls didn't finish washing the damned dishes before they left for the night. So I find a full tub of plates and bowls, and a sink full of dirty pots and pans - pots and pans and utensils I need to get breakfast and lunch ready. And so, instead of getting breakfast ready, I've had to spend my first hour just washing the damned dishes, which puts me way behind schedule. GRR. |
