IT security, used to work at a managed host with several data centers as a Sr security engineer. Now I'm doing basically the same but for a network and streaming video provider. It's work from home but it does certainly fatigue the brain some days.

Hrm, I am finding most of these responses fascinating. I have a hard time seeing myself doing something else, so it's interesting to see the different paths people have taken.

Must be challenging and stressful, especially now.

Thanks. Part the reason I went into Industry from Consulting was to reduce the stress levels. It’s more like 9 am to 6 pm in industry as opposed to 8 am to 8 pm in consulting.
Log4J was a nice Christmas present.

We have musical acts that come in to perform, various games (bingo, jingo, wheel of fortune, poker keno, craps, monopoly, scrabble, fishing, jarts, plinko, bucket toss, basketball, ring toss, nerf guns, bowling, etc.), crafting, baking, group exercise, fingernail painting, gardening in the summer, trivia, coffee/tea, etc. We used to do local outings pre-Covid (shopping, casinos, fall foliage, Christmas lights, etc.)
Some residents do all of these things, some refuse/can't (we do individual therapy with those, even if it's only simple sensory stimulation), most just attend the ones that interest them. Games and music tend to be the most popular.
The residents vary a great deal in their abilities/functioning too, which limits what they can or can't do. Some are still pretty mobile and have their wits about them, others are completely bedridden and can no longer talk or do anything for themselves.

Am I the only one that read that as jiggalo?
Piss taking aside, it sounds like a very satisfying job to be helping others

It's bingo with trivia card clues and pictures on the cards instead of letters/numbers. For example, I'd read, "You use these to send letters.", a resident will then (hopefully) guess envelope, and they'll all put a chip on an envelope square on their jingo cards if they have one. While it makes them think, I don't like Jingo because it's confusing for many of the residents (some have a lot of trouble picking out pictures), regular bingo, with just numbers to worry about, is easier for them.
