 i had a refugee from Ukraine living in this house looking after Grandma when she was alive but near death and the most difficult aspect of dealing with him was he had no sense of time having value ...

he was in his 60s but he was like a child in how careless he was with his time because he came from a culture where you just kind of drift through life rather than create your life ...

it was hard for me because whenever i tried to explain to him that my time had value and i couldn't just waste it on him he would take it as a personal offense ...

i can't deal with that ...
