I remember the other day when I had the worst long day at the hospital.
- As a nurse helping people can be both rewarding or upsetting at times.
Sometimes you can’t do anything for the individual but pray that things go in a positive direction for them. There was this one particular day that just didn’t go well at work and continued with my boyfriend at home. The day in general outside of work and getting at home was dismal. It was slightly cold and rainy, very gloomy. That slight chilliness eventually makes me feel cold as I walk to and from work and a single walk is about 25 minutes. Near the end of the walk I was looking forward to being in my home feeling the electric heater filling my apartment up with the warmth I so desired. As soon as I got home I saw my boyfriend with a hoody on acting all cold. He said that there was something wrong with the heater and the apartment wasn’t heating up. I was so upset because I already had a rough day but he said he already called HVAC services. They will have someone come to the house within 2 hours. I thanked him for that as I couldn’t last the night without heat! He then laughed after 15 minutes and said he lied and couldn’t contain seeing me in 2 tank tops, a hoodie, my winter jacket, 2 pairs of socks on and 2 pairs of sweatpants. I was cold! He then proceeded to turn the dial thermostat up to 75 degrees and I heard the heat pour through the vents. I was so angry with him as he snickered. He thought his prank was funny. All I think is dead man walking.
