one thing about my work - everyday is totally unexpected

work: there is a fulltime position opening at the end of this month ... there are about 4 ppl wanting it, one is more qualified than me... :-( so im just gonna wait till it all gets played out then decide from that what i want to do .. i really like working there, but i dont want to keep working there if its never gonna work into full time- i need a full time job! ive been there 6 months now ... thats a long time LOL ...

one of our new clients showed up on friday but i hadnt been there to see her until monday morning at 7am.. so i walk in and the night shift informs me that I (the only female on shift) had to go check on this new client who is in the CR. my 1st impression of the new girl was seeing her butt naked in the control room!.. yeah that was interesting way to start my monday...

soo an update on the male client that threw the desks at me ... friday he assaulted a male staff by punching him in the face.... i also dont think i mentioned that a while back he wrote me letters and drew me pictures telling me that he liked me- so we had to sit down with him and the supervisors and explain to him that even though the feelings he was having were normal (since some of these kids have sexual abuse issues we have to make sure they understand whats normal and not normal), he would no longer be allowed contact with me or other female staff unless there was NO male staff present that could help him/talk to him. explaining to him that staff and clients could NOT have any sort of relationship beyond staff/client! well its been a few months since that and he started trying to talk to me again and always when no other staff was around, asking me questions about if i was mad at him, why he couldnt talk to me, etc ... well monday i was off work at 3 but i was still therearound 4 because we had a CRAZY shift and i didnt get my paperwork done, and this kid hands me this piece of paper that is a letter to me. so i take it to my assist. director and show her - its a letter basically talking about this imaginary relationship that this kid has with me - he was asking about what was going to happen when he was released, if he coudl buy me presents, wondered if i was worried about the age diff between us etc! it was FREAKY STALKERISH! that on top of other violent outbursts, an incident of him stealing someone elses shoes etc ... he was taken to juvenile detention yesterday afternoon.... so now im thoroughly SCARED that this kid is going to stalk me when he gets our of detention ... hes like 16 i think... yeah ... its freaky! he could stalk me at work or home all he has to do is find out my last name - which isnt like we keep that totally secret from them, most of them know our last names... yeah, im scared ... so i hope someone keeps me posted on this kids release date from detention so i can try to PROTECT myself!

keeping my fingers crossed that i dont get sick because beth has mono (i spent the last 2 weekends with her - inthe car, sleeping in the same beds etc...) and a client at work had some virus they thought was mumps so she was on quarentiene for 5 days ... but tests showed it wasnt mumps... therefore i was exposed to mono and some weird random virus like the mumps in the same week! CRAZYNESS!




-- sooo steamboat days is this week... Styx was last night --they were ok- didnt walk around much because i didnt feel like seeing ppl i didnt want to see... therefore i hung out with beki, carl & kayla from CFTC (work). tonite i have a VIP ticket to POISON! im so excited! hopefully i get to go down to more concerts, but its looking like i wont be able to make it back down there till sunday night for Joe Nichols with Jake McVey as the opening act! ... should be a good show...

ok thats all for now im gonna try to take a nap! i'm dead tired!
