Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that's a relief to say the least. Change in the attitude of the carer lead was... a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she's taken me off that client, so all well there.
I'd put in an application to join a union this morning and I'll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction!

Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.

Exactly to all. I forget who said "I'm utterly and abjectly pissed off" but it summed up my state of mind!
