  I assessed a patient at clinic last week prior them coming in for a procedure in the future. They were very nervous to say the least. At the end of the assessment he said that he was glad he had come in for the appointment as he did feel better now he had had the procedure explained to him.I told him that that had made my day. Its good when I see that I have made a difference!:)

  Seeing mostly non-verbal people with dementia communicate and laugh with their fellow residents.
  
  Seeing people with dementia sing a whole song without forgetting any of the words.
  
  Consoling bereaved relatives.

  Getting through the night without a death, a trip to A&E, and not being assaulted enough to make a mark
  
  Only joking
  
  I quite like doing a job that a lot of people can't do and know that I'm actually pretty good at it.

  I can't phone relatives with sad news. I get through it if I have to.....but tbh it is quite frankly the worst part of my job.
  
  A lot of our residents are vocal in the singing sense. It's amazing how many songs they can remember word for word...and that is before dementia is taken into account.

  Customers who are nice. And ones who expect the fare to be much higher that it is and they are all happy and stuff when they find out its not.

  Seeing a resident go from being aggressive and non-cooperative to being a happy engaged person - usually over the course of years, but good nevertheless.

  Seeing someone I might have worked with a few years ago make the transformation from 'Homeless, Unemployed, addicted to drugs' to 'I've got a job!'.

  I hate my job at the moment Not to be big headed, but I know more than people who manage me and it narks me so much (although I don't show it). A lot of the time I just want to say "no, that's wrong" but they always take it the wrong way.
  
  I get very little job satisfaction at the moment.

  As a press officer in the NHS I deal with alot of crap but it gave me great satisfaction last week when I stopped a story getting into the papers by refusing to divulge any information after the ambulance crew had already blabbed to the local paper.

  Probably because they have no management skills and have to use smileys to get their point across

  That is not the way of the world.
  
  In my occupation, I get to play with bones, rummage in holes and come up with all manner of theories as to how the bones and other things got to be there, and what that meant. Those are the good bits.
  That's when I'm not writing up dull but necessary reports for my supervisor and spending far too much time on here.

  Knowing that I am committing to record an impartially accurate account of what parents say about their children, events in their lives and professional involvement with them, within a system where they all too often do not seem to have any real voice - whether the information turns out to be for the better or the worse in the long run.
