I'm sorry that this is tangential and out of phase. I'm having difficulty making paragraphs follow sequential order, maybe from recent lack of practice? I'm not sure ( Read more... )

"I was working" is the short, flippant answer. It's the truth, though. I worked every day from December 17th - January 3rd. It was not a good idea to do that. By the end of it, I was more than a little frazzled, having difficulty separating the professional from the personal because when you have nothing personal going on, the professional becomes ( Read more... )

There is an infestation at one house so they're sending clients to other houses and oh God if my workplace gets shut down to be fumigated there are going to be a lot more crazy homeless people in San Francisco.

So I worked twelve hours today, most of which was spent making cookies. I made about 12 batches of gingerbread men, 8 batches of cowboy cookies, 5 batches of linzer tart sables, and 4 batches of peanut blossoms.

The worst thing about living in California is finding black widow spiders in my apartment.

Yesterday was the Hanukkah party for family and friends. For the first time in many years, it was well-attended. My sister came, and she brought some friends, and I brought some too, and it was a fun celebration. We didn't have a dreidel, so we made one out of a children's block, a thumb tack, some sticker paper, some glue, and what was once a ( Read more... )

Client came home, alright. After partying at a night club and a bar for several hours. He was also somewhat psychotic. He took off his shirt and gave me two tickets to the gun show. Also kept talking about all the women he wanted to be all up in. He methodically called everyone he knew from the hours of 2:15 to 3:30 while I was arranging for him to ( Read more... )

A client went out to the corner store to buy a candy bar at 10:30 PM on my shift. Curfew was 12 AM. I notified the on-call he wasn't back at 12:05 AM. She walked me through filing (my first) missing persons report: how to call the police, what to say to the dispatcher, etc. Also, how to fill out an incident report ( Read more... )
