The Night Agent season 2




After a long and grueling season working as a night agent at a retirement home, I was finally ready for a break. I had put in my two weeks' notice, and I was planning on taking some time off to volunteer at an animal shelter and finally finish that novel I'd been working on for years.

But then, out of the blue, I got a call from my boss, who offered me the promotion to night manager. I was flattered, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for the added responsibility. I asked for a few days to think it over, and I spent those days talking to my friends, family, and the other night agents.

In the end, I decided to take the promotion. It was more money and more responsibility, but it was also a chance to make a difference in the lives of the residents. I started my new job the following week, and I've been working as the night manager ever since.

It's not an easy job. I work long hours, and I'm on call 24/7. But it's also a rewarding job. I get to help people every day, and I know that I'm making a difference in their lives.

One of the things I love most about my job is getting to know the residents. They're all so different, and they all have their own unique stories to tell. I've learned so much from them, and I've come to appreciate the wisdom and experience that they have to offer.

Of course, there are also some challenges to working as a night manager. One of the biggest challenges is dealing with difficult residents. Sometimes, residents can be angry, confused, or even violent. It's important to be patient and understanding in these situations, and to always try to de-escalate the situation.

Another challenge is dealing with the loneliness that can come with working nights. When everyone else is asleep, it can be hard to stay awake and alert. But I've found that there are ways to make it easier. I listen to audiobooks, I read books, and I sometimes even watch movies. I also try to get outside for a walk or run every day, even if it's just for a few minutes.

Overall, I'm glad that I took the promotion to night manager. It's a challenging job, but it's also a rewarding one. I get to help people every day, and I'm making a difference in their lives.

If you're thinking about becoming a night manager, I encourage you to do it. It's not an easy job, but it's a rewarding one. And who knows, you might just find that you love it.

Here are some tips for working as a night manager:

  • Be patient and understanding. Residents can be angry, confused, or even violent. It's important to always try to de-escalate the situation.
  • Be flexible. Things change quickly at night, so it's important to be able to adapt to change.
  • Be organized. There's a lot to keep track of as a night manager, so it's important to be organized and efficient.
  • Take care of yourself. It can be hard to stay awake and alert at night, so it's important to take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

Working as a night manager can be a rewarding experience. With the right attitude and a positive outlook, you can make a difference in the lives of your residents.
