Updating That Resume’

As my luck would have it when things seem too good to be true, it might the case once again. Not saying it will happen, but I’ve been transferred off the unit I was working on with the angelic harpies. Instead, I’ll be working on a unit full of boys age 12 and under. It will be an ADHD and ADD fest over there. Very active little buggers, but they’re certainly more fun to deal with than the girls I’ve been working with on the weekends. When you feel your safety is at stake on a daily basis on a unit full of girls, who would gladly rip your hair out at any given moment of crisis on the unit. Yeah, apparently getting chunks of your hair ripped out isn’t a good reason to cry when you are adrenaline crashing and in shock that you’re in pain for that reason and a number of other fucked up things going on in your head. Supposedly, that’s grounds for getting moved off of that unit as well.

M’kay, sorry, too much adrenaline over loads any means of sensible rationality for me. Fuck that! Never mind the fact that that happened, the hair pulling thing, but not restraining a child when someone else deemed it appropriate, mind you it’s an arbitrary notion to restrain a child in some cases, but hey, I got a one day suspension TODAY just for that and something else I can’t even begin to explain in any sensible way.

Probably my biggest pet peeve is that if I screw something up that’s a suspend-able offense in that place, I might not get the written warning meeting until a week later. Yeah, so any sense of feeling like things are getting better on the job goes out the window yet again. I don’t argue, I’ve tried talking to the people who decide these things, but apparently they have some serious guidelines that aren’t accessible at any given moment. I don’t have printouts of stuff, even when I have asked for them repeatedly. You just get told, you did this and this, so we’re going to do this to you for that. Blah-blah-blah-blah. ARRG! *grumble*

Oh yeah, putting in for Memorial Day Weekend off over a month ago was apparently not good enough, there’s some kind of form to fill out specifically for holiday weekends. This means, the reservations I made for Adam and me for ARGG VI in Wisconsin is likely out the mo’foe window now. If I am lucky, I might be able to get someone to trade me days, but the folks who would have traded me weekends around work on the old unit. I’m starting on a new unit Monday and who knows if anyone will trade me there. Yay-fuckin’-rah boys and girls.

Alas, having a 3 day weekend now means I can try to relax after updating my resume’. I now want to focus on a new Monday on a new unit and hopefully have less trouble with the whole new unit. Fencing Sunday at a friend’s house will be a plus, must have some fun! Gonna work on some knitting, perhaps get that spiffy sock cap done in time for cold Pennsic nights. Hey, maybe the Sloshed Fairy will come by too, bring me some wine and get good and schnockered for the helluvit. Yah know, Commode Hunggin’ Drunk is always delightful. There’s definitely some relaxation on order here. Hope y’all have a great weekend! *grin*

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
