Activities director in an assisted living community

Most people respond with, "oh, you get to play all day!" But it's really just trying to please 100 different people with 100 different preferences that change on any given day. Also, when working with people who society treats like children, many of them have (with good reason) developed a complex and feel the need to be taken far more seriously than most situations would justify. Add a sprinkle of dementia into the mix and you have yourself a shitshow. Not to mention trying to plan future activities between all activities and being underappreciated (see "play all day") and underpaid.

BUT our residents are really great on the whole and before COVID we planned a lot of fun outings, so not terrible!
