Conversational Woes

So I had some interesting conversations today.

The first one goes like this


JM: Hey nice boss am I going to get the dementia course training, because all other happy care staff at big scary mansion care home seem to be on the course except me.

Nice Boss: I'm sorry JM I didn't order enough booklets for all the staff at big scary mansion residential home, you and the housekeeper are the only ones not on the course yet.

JM but nice boss I am a care assistant at big scary mansion and deserve to be on the course with all the others. .

Nice boss Well you're going to university in January JM and you should get a lot of dementia training in the mental health course.

JM: Um not necessarily and even if I do I might not get it for another two or three years . And Id like to learn  how to deal with the new residents you're bringing in now.

HMM ever feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall.  The situation at big scary mansion is really annoying me now. I started there two years ago and even though I was promised training, its never really happened. The induction pack that every new employee has to complete was finished and handed in in may 2009, to date its never been marked and handed back. I got so fed up of waiting 9 months to start my NVQ2 witch never started that I dragged myself back to college and got an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Health Studies and it seems because I'm willing to train myself then I don't get the paid for company training.
Its not as though I'm even asking for the earth just training which allows me to do my job properly.

Rant over lol
