-work has been brutal. i got reamed by two parents for not doing a good job changing their kids. well, changes can't happen if the environment isn't conducive to positive change. got reamed by the doctor for referring him a client who is on benzos. he basically did not want any client referrals who refused therapy and is on benzos. i asked if i should tell clients that they weren't going to get any meds if they were already prescribed that and the doctor said yes. i was not comfortable with telling clients they weren't going to get certain meds because one i'm not a doctor. i told my sup who told her sup who talked to doctor's sup. i can't wait till i see that doctor again! then on friday, i found out i was snowed by a client and she has been telling me a bunch of lies since i started seeing her in january. i could not wait for the weekend.
-speaking of work, it's been one year at my job and boy does it seem like i've been there forever.
-a blizzard hit ohio march 7-8th. pics of the snow are posted on my other site. it was one of the most stressful drives home i ever had. it took me an hour and a half to drive home when it normally takes me 45 minutes. the roads were so sloppy and slick. going to church on saturday was a real treat. vic's car kept sliding and we had so much trouble finding parking since snow was everywhere and we couldn't make it uphill to the church parking lot.
-i was given Buddha by a client since i'm asian and did not have one displayed in my office. the statue was gross because it had yellow junk all over it but it's the thought that counts, right?
-there are nice, honest people in this crazy world. i was so flustered after being yelled at by two parents last week that i forgot my wallet on top of the tomatoes. you may be thinking why don't i carry a purse so i don't lose my wallet. well, i throw my wallet in my work bag and when i stop by the grocery stores after work, i don't like to carry my work bag in since it's so big and heavy. i was just so stressed and flustered that i totally forgot my wallet as i went to get a plastic bag to put my tomato in. i was in line and patted my coat to find my wallet to pay for my groceries. i had a real sick feeling when i couldn't feel my wallet and did not find it in my basket. i ran back to the tomato bin and did not find it there. i went to customer service to ask if a wallet was turned it and learned that no wallet was found. i started to put away all my groceries trying to think of all the things i would need to replace and card companies to call to freeze my account when i heard over the intercom "the customer who reported a missing wallet please go to aisle 6". i ran over to aisle 6 and grabbed my wallet. i opened it up and checked it to see if anything was taken. everything was still there thankfully. if i saw the person who found my wallet, i would've tackled that person in a bear hug for being such an honest person.
-went to columbus for the day to hang out with jessica before she moved. i'll miss her so much. it was good to see ken since it's been over a year. he took me to a cool tea place which will be our place to hang out when i'm in town. john and deanna made me feel so welcome in their home and i slept on the most comfy pillow at their house.
happy birthday, nick!
so that sums up what has been happening in my life.
have faith.
