Every day of my two years of work there my life was in danger for pay that didn't amount to what it was worth. I gave psychotropic medication injections to prostitutes with schizophrenia to keep them stable in the community, picked up a drunk homeless guy numerous times until the one time he was dead and we had to have a makeshift funeral for him and no one came. I talked to a paranoid lady through her door for months until she let me in and gave me iced tea that tasted like roach spray as I watched roaches climb up the walls and chose not to ask her why she was wearing underwear on her head. I won't bore you with the rest but every day was a reminder of my dumb decision.
