Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?
Certain Hope:
Bones,
I'm sorry! Thought I'd replied to your previous post ... I'm sure I typed it! ...about those wacky-bossy-pushy women trying to photograph your clients and force them to attend a particular service... sheesh. Don't they think these people have human rights? Sounds like they treat them as animals!
And the ones spoiling for a fight last night. Bones, do you have access to any form of physical protection there - I dunno, like pepper spray? Stun gun? lol ((((((Bones))))))) sounds a bit scary to me. You must have a great tone of voice to back these characters down when they get loaded for bear... I just hate to think of you being in danger there. Must be difficult to sub at a different place, where nobody knows you...
One positive jumps out at me all the way around... your bosses are backing you up every step of the way, sounds like. Yay!
Stay safe, Bones. Hope you don't have to return to that other building again.
Love,
Carolyn

You brave Bones, you!
(Did you see that amazing Bonesey Valentine? I forget who posted it but it was probably Izzyy...in your honor, I'll bet!)
Be safe at work and happy at home...
love

Thanks, Carolyn!
Most of the clients, at the second facility where I subbed, have met me before. I've taken self-defense classes in the past so if "push came to shove" I can defend myself. There were volunteers there at the second facility too. However, judging by the way they all huddled in the kitchen, like sheep, told me that they were too scared to think straight. I was having trouble with my cell phone while calling the police and asked where their church phone was. Their response: Silence while looking like scared deer. God help them if things had gotten really bad.
As for the first facility, I got the impression that the group of volunteers there are a bunch of N's who's attitudes were: "Me First!" It made me angry that they attempted to treat the clients as if they were animals in a zoo! Give me a break!!! There will be a year-end meeting, when the program wraps up for the season, where issues like this will be discussed.

Thanks, Hops!
I didn't see the Valentine. Do you know where it is located?
Thanks, again!
Bones
Certain Hope:
Oh, I see, Bones. And I'm very glad to know you've taken some self-defense classes!
I hope the year-end meeting is not the end of the calendar year, because those pushy volunteers could do alot of damage between now and then.
The Valentine which Hops mentioned is on the "Anything" thread, reply # 1149, Bones:

It is cute :).. Izzy posted it.
Well, I hope you're off work today and able to relax. I think we're on our final phase of the flu in our household, now that everyone's had it... so this should be a far more pleasant day! Been a long haul X 4 of us.
Love to you and hugs,
Carolyn
