Izzy...

I'd miss you if you weren't you 


Bones...

I'd miss your threads if you stopped posting to them. They've  (and YOU've) become a part of the tapestry here, in this our home away from home.


You are both very much loved and appreciated.

I had my hands full when I was working the overnight shift Saturday night to Sunday morning.  One individual REALLY PLUCKED EVERYONE'S LAST NERVE with her N-Behaviors!

When I arrived to relieve the evening staff person, he informed me of an incident that took place earlier Saturday evening.  The host church was showing a movie and this N-individual decided that SHE didn't like the movie and, therefore, NO ONE SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO WATCH IT!  She started throwing a screaming tantrum and the church volunteers put her in a "time out" away from everyone else.  At 1:00 AM, she enters the room where the other clients are sleeping and demands to eat.  First, there is no food out for anyone.  Second, everyone has to get up at 5:00 AM which leaves her only four hours to sleep.  Based on these facts, I advised that she get some sleep as soon as possible.  She started screaming:  "I CAN DO AS I PLEASE!  YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"  The church volunteer took her back to "time out" so she wouldn't wake up the other clients.  At 5:00 AM she comes back in, while the other clients are up and getting ready to leave, starts picking fights while screaming that everyone is picking on her.  I told her that she needed to stop to which she replied:  "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU B#$%H!"  At that point, I told her to get out.  This time, the church volunteer made her leave the building.  Sheesh!!!!

BTW, I notified my bosses and submitted a written report about what happened in the event any administrators question what took place.

Dear Bones,

I have a coworker I'd like to put into a time out, but I don't think she'd go quietly, either 

Oy. So glad you made it through that overnight shift in one piece... and filing a written report sounds very wise to me. Good job.

Love,
Carolyn

Thanks, Carolyn.

I wanted to make sure the incident was documented because as I was repeatedly taught in graduate school:  "If it isn't documented, it didn't happen!"

Thanks, Bones... sounds like wise counsel to anyone who's working (or living) in an environment where conflict abounds. Document, document, document.
Not sure whether or not you're working this weekend, but I hope you'll find some rest and relaxation in the midst of whatever you do.

Thanks, Carolyn.  I go back to work on Sunday as we are moving to a new church and I have to make sure that I have the supplies I need.

The hypothermia season is about to wind up and it has been quite a bumptious ride!

With the winter program being wrapped up for the season, we're still in the process of tying up loose ends.

For the past month, I have not been feeling well and it has been affecting my current employment.  I went to the doctor today and the EKG shows that there might be a blockage.  Now I have to get a stress test to pinpoint the problem.

I've been out of work since October 2008, due to medical reasons, have been attempting to deal with bureaucrats at voc. rehab. and feel like I'm beating my head on a brick wall.  Also, things finally came to a head with bf and it is essentially over with him.  I'm so tired.
