Living on the job

I start a new job on Tuesday. I will be Resident Services Coordinator here at the retirement home where I live. It's a full-time paid internship for the summer. On the plus side, I will have no commute to either of my jobs (I'm continuing part-time with the best job ever). On the downside I already anticipate that living on the work site will cause some boundary issues. Maybe I'll have to get an off duty cap or something. Today during an inservice meeting with the receptionists, the HR director told them that I would assist in overseeing their work and to feel free to call me if they needed something and even reminded them that I lived on site. I came to my own defense since they were so quick to throw me under the bus. "I live here, but please remember that I LIVE here. Just like anybody else, when I go home I want to be at home, not at work. If you need me, you need me, but please be respectful and prudent"

As far as my job description, the best analogy for describing my duties is I am kind of like what an academic advisor is to a university. I mainly deal with new residents helping them get situated. I make them aware of special government programs that they might qualify for. I help put them in contact with the right agencies and services. The best part of my job: I get an office. It even has a a door I can close and a couch for napping. I mean, I assume it's for napping. Why else would they put a couch in an office?
