It's strange to work in a hospital.

You know, in one room there's a father holding his son for the first time; in another room, there's a son holding his father for the last time.
And then, in another room, there's a guy with a TV remote stuck in his 🍑
It's the circle of life.

I'm just a sweeper here observing.

I trained as a CNA as a teen, and the only job years later I could even find in my town was at the hospital, first in the cafeteria and then as a janitor lugging trash and dirty clothes from the floors and moving sharps. The maintence manager wanted to promote me to his department as a boiler technician, and I was very excited seeing after one year working that I could apply for a licence and then make $50,000 a year, but my involuntary union flipped out and forced the hospital to fire me from that position, and was left in a weird limbo where I worked for a hospital but didn't have a offical position. Ended up waxing floors in a medical annex building until I realized there was no way to resolve it and then quit.

I really hate having two employers capable of ruining your day, a Union and the Business you signed up for.
