Back to work

First day back at work for Tony today. Kicked him out of bed and 4.45am. Not for much longer though as he is retiring at the end of July.
I returned to TB after 4 weeks off. I was a bit hesitant as I didn't think any of the residents would remember me but to my surprise they all greeted me with open arms.
Took control of playing trivia with them today as Shirlee was at a staff meeting. Just read out the questions and they shouted back the answers. This guy name Tony knew most of the answers and wouldn't let the others have a turn to answer first. He reminded me of my brother, David when we went away to the mountains for Christmas in July a few years ago. They were asking trivia questions for the kids and David kept piping up with the answers.
I put my foot in it today as I call one of the resident's wife by the wrong name when she came in. I had been talking to Les this morning who had been telling me about his two wives both name Marjorie. He said the first one had died and I thought the one that came in was the other Marjorie but she had also died and this was his third wife, Joan. So I will have to be careful not to take everything the residents say as being correct.
Someone I missed today was Nelly. I meant to ask Shirlee what has happened to her but didn't get the chance. I will check it out next week as she was my great challenge.
