I work in a retirement home as a Dietary Aide, which just means I’m a glorified server, and I enjoy it. I also have been talking to the marketing manager there, and she feels she could make use of my skills when she begins her marketing. I conduct small conversations with the residents whenever I run into some in the halls of the home. As of late the home as been undertaking changes. The Long Term Care section of the home recently moved to a better area because it was only interim. The activity room was recently ripped apart, even the walls, to make room for new wires and cables which would run through the building.
Always curious I inquired about the wires. They are being added so that computers can be set up in the activity room. Often times the residents would see me using my BlackBerry, and inquire as to what it was. After I explained all the functions and uses they would tell me how lucky I am to have such a tool. Now that a large computer area will be coming the residents will have the opportunity to use email. This is good as some resident’s families live far away and don't often come to visit. Now they will be able stay in touch with their loved ones without to much hassle.
