Work Posting
This Saturday I worked a full day at my job and it felt like an abnormally looooong day. I work at an assisted living center as an activities assistant and oof it was just one of those days where no one was pleased and the schedule kept getting out of hand. I was the only one working this day and I felt so so tired and I couldn't handle hear any more residents critique what I was doing and my patience was growing thin. We had a christmas party and my boss asked me to where an elf costume which just felt like the cherry on top. I was the only one dressed as an elf and the only one really there to clean up and set up all the rest of the activities. Lets just say I didn't feel like the happy, christmas elf you would want at a christmas party. Anyways I ended up posting a picture of myself in the elf costume on social media and I realized in that moment how social media became a coping mechanism for me. When I was alone working, feeling like the only sane person, absolutely exhausted, I felt validated, understood and comforted by posting and feeling like other people also have long hard days at work and it is okay to laugh about it at the end of the day.
