I've had this job as a caregiver at an Independent Supported Living center for about six weeks. There is one guy with cerebral palsy and another older guy that I think got into a motorcycle wreck and fucked his head up. The older guy is fine but the younger guy is such a little shit. Basically he is a selfish asshole that has been babied his whole life. I tried to connect with him at first but now I find myself enjoying his misery more and more as time goes on, I read these papers on him and he has done some really fucked up shit to females he has been left alone with, so it is really hard not to hate him. I have worked with about ten other guys and got along with them all but this guy is my main responsibility and I really want to suffocate him in his sleep. This job also entails suppositories and catheters which is another reason I want to quit. I knew this job would be a challenge when I started but it is really taking a toll on my peace of mind. I feel like I am digging up old demons every time I look at this guy. Normally I would feel that anything that is challenging is worth doing for the experience but I'm not sure this type of challenging myself is taking me in a good direction. Any thoughts or advice?

I remember my first shift at a local pub I loved and the Chef was gay, prancing round the kitchen to "Mr Postman" by The Carpenters and then after saying "I don't know if you realised I was gay" (no shit :facepalm:) I was getting changed in the back cupboard from my Chef Whites into my regular clothes.
He cornered me.
"Oh look at this scar on my ankle"
Me: Yeah..cool...
"Oh and this one on my thigh"
Me: Right...*fuck, I cen see where this is going*
I look down to do my shoes up and look back up with him standing there, holding his "n" shaped erect cock in my face so I grab a bread knife from behind me, push him onto the counter and tell the staff to fuck off.
Shame. I loved playing darts and eating pork knuckles there.
Just go man.
LOL, get over yourself man, they are gay, not rapists (mostly). Ever had a fugly woman hit on you and you brushed her off? You do the same when a gay tries. I have had loads of gays hit on me, its very funny.
As for the job, do as you will, but will you get a new job easily? I have had fuck loads of jobs, luckily I was always good with money and can explain away the times I did not have work, I know some friends have problems as their CV's look like swiss cheese. Think of the arsehole as a customer. No matter where you work, you will have customers of sorts - in your case think yourself lucky only 50% of them are total dicks.
Working is always about eating a certain amount of shit. It is up to you how stinky and how much of it you eat.
Advice from when I have employed people - You are on 10 points right away if you are coming to one job from another, if you do not have a job employers will ask why and 'my last job sucked balls' is not a reply that shows a level of responsibility most employers are looking for.
Just make sure you do something with your time, even if it is 2 hours volunteer work a week to keep a work history going.
