I'm now trying to get back in touch with people from Wells only to find I no longer have accurate contact info.

So last night I went bowling with a group of friends from work. This one guy who has technically been working under me for 2 1/2 months now (aka we have spent every moment together for over 5 weeks and hung out together when not at work) was there and he got drunk. He sort of tried to hit on me but I blew him off because he also flirted with ( Read more... )

I haven’t been online much. Things are going well for me over all. I love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else. It has been a cold winter. Some days it hasn’t gotten above 0 without the wind chill. I got sick and I started eating the salt pork on the really cold days. It is kind of gross to eat the chunks of pure fat but it is hard to ( Read more... )

There is chaos among RCA staff. The conflict between the field staff and the admid exploded when I was gone and now half of the senior instructors have quit their jobs so we are short staffed and without leaders among the field staff. The administration is sort of changing the therapeutic model. I think they wanted to get rid of some of the ( Read more... )

So… Yesterday my mother, brother and I went to the beach. There was a dense fog so we spent much of our time looking at our feet as we walked along the shoreline. My mother pulled 2 zip lock bags out of her bag and tried to give them to my brother and me so that we could collect seashells ( Read more... )
