Andy by name only!
@ Saturday, May. 19, 2007 – 10.46:30
Last night i was reminded of an incident that happened several years ago when i worked as a care assistant in a residential home for people with mental health problems. One day i was working the afternoon shift, all the 'seneor care staff' were either on holiday, or off sick, and i 'acting senior'. The father of one of the residents phoned, very irate because his son had gone on home leave for the weekend , and his father had been un happy about the fact that he had a mustach, and he had insisted it be shaved off before he return home.
I had allready explained to him the week before, that if his son chose to grow a mustach we, as carers had no right to tell him otherwise, and physicaly shaving it off against his will would be assault.
So when i came to the afternoon shift, he had allready gone home. about an hour into the shift the telephone rang, and i answered in the usual way.
'Good afternoon. Beechwood. Andy speaking.'
There was a loud grown, and then an irate voice,
'Andy? Andy? Thys not very bloody andy though are tha?'The reason i bring this up now is I live less than five minutes walk away from the home, and i saw the same resident last night, thick mustach, large beard...If he goes on weekend leave again to day i pitty the poor sod who's senior care on shift.
