Summary

"I do have good inside me but I don't think I have this much good inside me. Honestly, I can be quite an arsehole at times. Surely they will be much better off without me."Meet no one special, a middle aged woman who leaves a high status office job to work as a carer in a residential home. Experience her transformation as she starts out as an optimistic do-gooder and quickly becomes a downtrodden, occasional binge drinking wreck within the space of a few months. Eye opening, painfully sad and sometimes downright hilarious, this is the anonymous diary and truthful account of one person working in a UK care home.
