For context I live outside of Los Lunas and completely off grid, but don't have an on-site well. I haul water for the house, we normally use the filling station in Los Lunas to fill IBC totes or barrels for transporting.

The problem is that LL has the filling station torn up completely for the first large-scale maintenance in a couple decades. They had signs up saying the project would take a week, which at least we topped the tanks at home before, and that's about 10 days of storage. No worries, we're good.

It's been 10 days. They are nowhere near completion. There's probably at least two or three weeks worth of construction to do based on what I saw tonight, and we're running out of water. I plan on calling the Village and asking WTF is going on tomorrow, but also figured I'd pick the brain of the collective here.

Where in the SV, LL/BF/Peralta, or Belen areas is somewhere to fill large barrels or tanks?

My wife isn't on Reddit herself, so she asked me to ask the community at large.

She is working for a nursing home in their memory care unit and has had some serious concerns about staffing and management behaviours. She doesn't have a CRN, RN, or any other nursing accreditation, and was literally thrown to the deep end, solo, on her first day. (She complained LOUDLY and got training after the first week, but was completely left to fend for herself for the first week. The person who was *supposed* to have been training her was sacked, apparently they had been a problem for a while?) This is after an interview where she openly stated she didn't have prior experience with in-patient care, she had done some assisted in-home-living work but nothing in-patient style.

The home where she is working seems to be having serious turnover issues as well, scarcely a week passes where she doesn't mention someone else having quit or her boss calling her on her days off asking her to cover for someone else who called in or no-call-no-showed. She has managed to get off-shift at the correct time something like six or seven times in the past three months, her relief comes in *exactly* on the clock or five to ten minutes late consistently, which means that turnover holds my wife for an additional twenty to thirty minutes past the end of her shift. Which her management complains to HER about being long on the shift, with no apparent behaviour changes or consequences for the relief crew.

She is covering 20 patients solo, admittedly on the graveyard shift, all of whom are late-stage Alzheimer's or similar and she reports that between five and ten patients are active at any given time, and basically all of them are fully incapable of self-maintenance (adult diapers, incontinence, difficulty moving around, etc.), and she is having to handle all of them simultaneously.

So, with the background out of the way... Is this in any way normal? She enjoys helping people, she found the work fulfilling after the initial panic inducing week, and quite frankly we really need the second income stream so she is hesitant to consider tendering her resignation unless she has an immediate replacement position somewhere, but she also doesn't want to jump from one frying pan into another boiling pot either, to strain a metaphor. Is this the norm, or is she simply in a bad site?
