Bring Home Work

You know, we work in a somewhat similar situation, but my clients (my guys) are developmentally disabled. I would love to bring home some of their clothing and alter or fix it so it is again wearable, but I have a manager who is a nasty person, who would not only expect me to fix more but I am sure would expand what I was doing. I brought in my steamer to clean the kitchen wainscot one time, then he expected me to bring it in all of the time and to do the bathrooms as well. I brought in a fan so that when I cook I don't die from the heat (I work with people who set the heat up to the 80's and 90's in the winter, wear sweatshirts in the summer) and I am having power surges. Well the AC did not work one day, and he was upset, he could not find my fan. It was at home in the fans real home--my bedroom window. He told me I was selfish for not leaving it at work if someone else should need it. I hope your client appreciates you.

What a nice, thoughtful thing for you to do! I think that says alot about what a giving person you are. :)

With a job like yours, your clients will become friends and like family to you. I hope things continue to go well for you and with your job.

That is very kind of you. I am sure this elderly woman,who obviously loves the dress, will be very grateful to you.Not too many people employed in this capacity would do extra.

That was so very thoughtful of you, Elusive. It's the little things we do that bring us our blessings. I am sure that she will be one happy lady when she gets her shift back.

You are just too much..How very sweet of you. This way she didn't have to give it up..One time my consumer didn't have an iron, so I took her dresser scarf home with me and ironed it for her..She was so excited.."It is the little things that mean the most." Thank you for sharing..

I find myself with work at home the last two nights, but it is just paperwork. I like the way you think about fixing that garment. It is a shame when we throw out favorites, for lack of mending.

Oh that is so sweet and you know she will be just tickled with it. I think you are a pretty cool person to have been so considerate.

That is really nice of you- I would not mind taking that kind of work home either- It’s nice to help out people- I bet she will be thrilled- and I’m glad that you can sew to make her happy- It’s amazing what little things really make people smile! Isn’t it?

That was very thoughtful of you. These folk are lucky to have someone as nice as you, thoughtful too, looking after them. :)

It must be nice to have people like you who can help those who can no longer do anything for themselves. She sure will appreciate it. I mean she probably wanted to look nice and with the zipper broken and that. I am glad that you fixed her shift.

wonderful man,hope there are more like you.keep it up.
