Everyone at work is sick right now, including myself. Obviously I can't call out because 1) I need the money, and 2) 80% of the staff is sick so no one would be able to cover. All of us are pretty good about coming in to work unless we are puking our guts out or something. We all just have whatever cold is going around ( Read more... )

Work has been awesome lately. I mean, the kids have been acting up because our supervisor is out with pnumonia, but none of my partners have acted up, so things are still going well in my opinion. lol I think I have a good balance in my relationship with the kids. I used to be a little too lenient with them, but I've gotten to the point where I ( Read more... )

Im "late" meaning my hormones are all out of whack. I know I have thyroid issues, but I'm putting off going to the Doc, because, well, I don't even have a reason. I think I'm just terrified of having any kind of medications listed on my insurance records ( Read more... )

Last weekend was fun. I snuck home for a weekend (Sunday and Monday) so I could go to T's Bday. Thinking back, it wasn't the most intelligent thing to do because I have so much work that I could have been doing those days, but the work will get done (I'll probably stay here instead of going to SA this Sunday), and I'll remember the experience ( Read more... )

I've been thinking too much about the past lately, mostly concerning my work performance. I'm sure it's just the devil fucking with my head, feeding me ideas that I was more competent before, etc., but it's still draining. I just need to forget about the skills I used to have as the person I was before, and use the skills I have now ( Read more... )

My Canadian friend and I have resolved our issues. He appologized to me the other night and we had a long talk. The poor kid is just so confused. He and I were partners tonight, and he just wants to talk and talk and talk... which is ok, because I know he doesn't trust anyone else enough in the facility to talk to. Sometimes he just goes off on ( Read more... )

The canadian participant is extremely pissed off at me. He was first angry at me because he said I wasn't sticking up for him when new staff was "picking on him". I told him that I saw him being disrespectful, so there was nothing I could do. He just said I "didn't want to be assertive". lol He was very disrespectful to me while I was his ( Read more... )

Today was an interesting day at work. Our 9 year old begged for the supervisor to let me be his partner... he was doing awesome until he got his reward (free time with legos)and then decided he wasnt going to work anymore...ran out of the building repeatedly until me and another staff member caught him and took him out to the QR. The other staff ( Read more... )
