I just found out that I have a reputation out in the community, likened to a trouble maker. Because I've fired so many people since I started and there has been so many changes. While I'm happy to shake things up, I'm kind of annoyed because if I was a guy, I'm sure there would be different words to describe me.
I just told H I needed him to join me in reality. He mentioned in an email about moving down in 2 weeks. Yeah, no. Considering we just changed our plan from buying a house to renting a high rise apartment. Vastly different ways of life and I need to pack accordingly, and also get rid of a lot more shit (lawn mowers, etc). And also of this two weeks A and I are spending 5 days down there. Out of his gourd, I tell you.

grrr. Yeah, you'd be a "go-getter" and a "pistol" or whatever the business slang is past 1960.
*hands you sack of oranges for late-night trouble making*

Exactly. Andplusalso, I can't even tell you how many people have complimented me (both clients and employees) saying that this is the best they've seen the clinic operating since it opened.
I just spent a half hour sorting two bathroom drawers full of hotel samples that H has brought home. I'm committing myself to using them up and not buying soap/shampoo/conditioner/lotion/bath gel for a long while. I am going to request that he try to stay wherever has the Aveda samples because I'm loving this rosemary mint shampoo.
The rosemary mint shampoo is the best! The conditioner not so much though. I also like the Aveda bar soaps from the hotels.

Sometimes my job sucks the life out of me....today, listening to a pedophile go on about how it's unfair that his kids can't visit him when "they're not my target victim" followed by him saying "let's be honest here, if I really wanted, up in the visiting room there are always kids if I really wanted to do something." I then asked him why he'd want to bring his kids up there with others who felt the same, to which I got "that's a valid point." He ended up in tears because how hard this is on him. Fuck.you.buddy.
doriswe I don't know how you do it. I'd have such a hard time not slapping him (verbally or physically).
I pride myself on being pretty professional, but this guy got to me. He did horrible things to a little girl (for years) and he was acting so offended that people might think he's a danger to kids. Thankfully, I have a damn good poker face and redirected conversations to policies and crap.
ETA: He's been punished...I'm not there to punish him more by saying jack-assy things. I also really think I'm there to provide an example of positive, appropriate human interaction to these guys. Sometimes that's hard

Your mentality makes a lot of sense. I don't think I could do it, probably because I've worked with so many trauma victims and survivors.
Feel like designing our Dirty Girl shirts while you're at it? But what site are you using? I feel like trying something different this year.
Ha! I can take a look if you want. Although, the site I'm using would be useless to you because they only do cycling clothing.
Oohhhhh. Darn. I've been happy with the site I've used the past 3 years, but I was hoping for something different this year. Maybe flourescent??? I wanted to go that route last year but the site doesn't offer them. I'll search around. Soon too since it's less than 2 months away!

Ugh...I've been on that side too...it was much harder to leave that at the door than this is.
