Resthome work imbalance, and its effects.

At the resthome, having limited capacity dining has turned out to be a shit-ton of work; serving everyone in their rooms is about the same amount of work as serving everyone in the dining hall, but doing half and half is just a killer, and a lot more work to boot, since you have to help some people to get there and back, but you have to help deliver trays, too, and on top of all that some residents are forgetful and extra people show up or never come down to eat in the first place, since they can't keep track of which meals they're scheduled for to come on down to the dining room.

And, some days it's been so busy, me and my one skeptical (Mexican) coworker have actually missed our meals.

So, the other week I asked her, "?Que es la dieta de [name of the resthome]?" ('What is the diet of [name of the resthome]?')

She shrugged, and so I was like, "Mas trabajo y menos comida" ('More work and less food').

"Good one," she was like.
