It's incredibly painful to say. This one wounded my pride pretty deep.

I was doing a money management class with my clients for nearly an hour and a half, working with each person individually, having them count out coins, figuring out dollar amounts, and generally getting to understand that if they don't know this stuff people might try to take advantage of them, etc. It's not easy for them to understand this stuff. They're the sort that would pay for a candy bar with a $100 bill and not expect change. Still, I was able to get them to do/understand several things.

Anyway, I wrapped a little early and popped in a movie, "Night at the Museum," after rejecting the two "Hannah Montana" DVDs that one of the clients kept handing me to play.

Not TWO MINUTES into the movie starting (it was still in opening credits and not one character was shown on screen yet), the QA person for our regional center walks in.

He starts into me about playing a movie. I explained they were doing money management and it was the end of the day. He asks the clients questions and is dismayed that they don't know who their counselors are at regional, especially when they look to me for answers. When I tell them, "Sorry, guys, I wouldn't know that," he turns to me and says, "Maybe you should work on that."

Moving on, he asked the clients if they picked out the movie, and the one who didn't get to watch the Hannah Montana DVDs points at me and says, "She did!" That looks REALLY bad.

At the same time, my DSP had gone to take her 10 and all the doors were opened while the QA guy was here, so my non-verbal, always-ready-to-elope client kept trying to walk out of the room. But since I couldn't use my stern voice in front of the QA guy I kept having to chase after the client and pull him by the back of his shirt to get into back in the room. The guy tried to ask this client some questions and was semi-annoyed that he wasn't answering him.

So anyway the guy goes to my boss and mentions that clients shouldn't be watching movies at program. It was the end of the day and I was in the leisure room, where we usually have a movie going at the end of the day for the clients while they wait for their rides. So no movies ever now.

When my boss happened by later, I asked her how badly I fucked up and she smiled and said I did all right and that he was very complimentary of our program. There was another indoor group he visited in our center that was doing freeplay with a couple clients watching a movie and others playing on the computers, and since it was "FREEPLAY" he apparently wasn't as put off by them having a movie on.

THE NEXT DAY... at our Friday meeting, which we have in the last 20 minutes before clocking out, we hear from our boss that the guy got back to regional and said he was "disgusted" by us and that we weren't engaging with our clients at all.

...

...

...

FUCK YOU, SIR. FUCK YOU SO HARD.

He literally used the word "disgusted." As though we were having the clients writhe around in feces while we smoked in the corner or something.

I've really stepped up at this job, which I'd always tried to remind myself was always meant to be temporary while I found something else. I've been killing myself with this job trying to make a difference. While others take their bowling clubs out, they'd just ask for all the shoes on the clients' behalves. I, however, was teaching them to say their shoe sizes and taught one of the non-verbals how to gesture his shoe size. That took weeks of work to get him to retain it.

I turned the history and book clubs into actually reading together and researching.



And I GODDAMN VOLUNTEERED to start a money management lesson. My boss found the fake money for me, and I started teaching it. No one was ever doing anything like that at the center. I also took over doing the laundry club, because no one wanted to do it. I figured that's a good skill to have and I've managed to get every single client to participate. My boss and the case manager have been impressed.

THIS FUCKING QA MOTHERFUCKER JUST CAME IN AND TOOK A SHIT ON ALL OF IT.

All because he walked in at the most opportune time.

It makes me so fucking mad. It's going to regional that I'm a fuck-up.

Bad enough I took a fucking promotion with NO PAY RAISE to run these clubs and steer them in a better direction.

This company is NOT a non-profit because the people at the top are literally raking in millions a year. QA shit like this justifies us workers at the bottom not getting any raises, saying we don't deserve them.

It's corrupt and there's too goddamn much liability with everyone stabbing each other in the back at every turn. I want out NOW.

The Neo-Conservatives are for Hillary because she more matches up with their ideologies. I mean, what does that tell you?

Still, I'd rather take that over someone who's endorsed by a majority of the American hate groups, makes fun of the disabled, is currently attacking a judge simply for being "Mexican" saying it's OK because he'd be equally pissed with the guy if he was Muslim, and has inspired hate speech to be considered acceptable among the American people because, "Hey, we're just telling it like it is."

The First Amendment protects your right to say what you want -- to a point -- and not get arrested. You're protected from the government here.

However, it DOES NOT defend you from the criticism and other reactions of the American people, who are allowed their right to say what they want, as well, through Fair Comment. If someone calls you a "jackass" for saying you think we should deport all people of a particular heritage, they're not impeding on your First Amendment right, sir. They could have put together a much more thought-out response, but maybe they figured someone who'd say something like that needed a more concise reactionary statement?

Anyway, I'm not addressing anyone on this board with those last two paragraphs, but rather everyone I've seen complain, "I thought this was America, and I can say whatever I want! I've got the First Amendment!" You sure do, bucko, and so do the rest of us.

Starz are the ones putting out "American Gods" when it comes out, so I have to swallow some pride there. Still, I'm certain HBO would have done a better job, even though we haven't seen anything yet.

Just like they would have with "Preacher" had the production been allowed to continue. Christ, I still have yet to try to watch the AMC series. It just looks terrible.

Back to Starz, though, they put out "Outlander." Grrr. When I ran into Salina at Wondercon, I was bringing up the show to her. She hadn't seen it yet, but I warned it's full of rape. She goes, "So it's on Starz, then?" and I laughed and said yes. "Oh Starz," she continued. "That's typical."

Makes me question if I should watch anything else they do. I was into the first season of "Spartacus" as that one came out. Of course everyone insisted "Rome" is better and it was a waste to watch anything else. Poor Andy Whitfield, though. R.I.P., sir.


Er... uh, fact: I hate peas. Especially when they're mushy.

I would say the "Fallout" games, but I haven't felt like replaying them lately. For some reason I just really want to replay "Bioshock Infinite," but it won't fit on my system, currently, unless I take off "Fallout 4." Argh.

I used to replay "Final Fantasy XII," some years back. No idea why. I mean, both FFXII and "Infinite" have the same endings no matter what, while the Fallouts can be different. "Fallout 3" is still my favorite of the bunch.

I'm so very behind in the super hero movies, and man do I just not care any more. My friend/co-worker kept telling me "Age of Apocalypse" was crap. Yeah, I sort of figured.


Finally sat down and watched "Far From the Madding Crowd," which was very much a chick flick that felt Jane Austen-y, but takes place well after the period in which she wrote. She was Romantic, this was Victorian. It's well-shot, but I just despised how the heroine kept going, "I'm independent and strong and I don't need a man," to two men who would have been GREAT husbands and jumps on the dick of the first douche who comes her way. All because he's a soldier in a red coat who can play with his sword and tells her there was someone else, prettier, that he was in love with and this causes her to jealously covet him more. Anyway, it all works out.

Also watched "Tale of Tales," which was a bit on the underrated side. I mean, it wasn't, "Holy shit, this is the greatest movie EVER!" but it definitely had A LOT going for it with costumes, scenery and effects. I've missed movies like this. Brings me back to the fantasy films of my childhood. Still, it's definitely not for kids.

The most hyped thing I watched recently was "The Lobster," which NPR and many other outlets kept pushing as the next great, unconventional love story. Pretty much it's a dystopian world where all the people are forced to couple and find someone to marry and constantly be around. If you fail to do this (or, say, you get divorced or your spouse dies), you're sent to "The Hotel" where it's compulsory that you couple with someone within 45 days or you are turned into the animal of your choosing. People who choose to evade this system go live in the forest and are known as Loners, who also have their own ridiculously strict rules that you are NEVER to form romantic attachments with anyone or face body mutilation. The explanation of this all makes it sound more badass than it all really is. It's like it was trying to be a Wes Anderson movie, but without that delightful whimsy.

Lastly, finally watched Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid." I love his earlier work. This one was still fine, but yeah, it wasn't another "Kung Fu Hustle." The story with this one is that the mer-people are pissed off with all the pollution and this absurdly strong sonar that's designed to scare away all marine life from this region, which in turn is causing them serious bodily harm. They send one of their own to pretend to be human, seduce the billionaire who "owns" the bay they live in, and kill him. Of course, they end up falling in love.


So yeah, I've been on a weird movie kick.

Realized this thread is almost 8 years old. Clicking through pages, saw this answer to the question, "Do you have a humorous answering machine message?"

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

In answer to the question: realizing I taught a client something and it stuck. I'm not even kidding about how many times I've erupted in excitement over this, even little things like a client remembering my name after I'd already been working there for more than a few months. Like one of our more elderly who has trouble remembering said my name once while addressing me, I stopped dead, and just started shouting and clapping, going, "You said my name!! THANK YOU!!"

Recently I've been working with a mostly non-verbal client and getting him to say things in basic sign language. I discovered he knows and can say most of the alphabet and count to 10 on his fingers. He's very limited in how he says things since he was allowed to go without speaking for so long and was never given speech therapy. Anyway, I have it so that when I ask, "Jeffrey, what's your shoe size?" he puts up 10 fingers and he can also do the signs for "thank you," "eat," and "bathroom."

It's the little things that make me so happy.

"The Battle of the Bastards" is next week. Hopefully Jon&Co fare better than Stannis did.

I wonder what they'll do with episode 10. It'll probably be all about Dany in Mereen with a dash of Cersei and Loras' trial.

Spoiler:
The Hound was easily the best part of the episode for me, especially his exchanges with Beric Dondarrion. Such sass.

While I should be in the camp all excited about Bethesda, I guess Kratos still oddly has my heart. I dug the trailer of him running around with his son in what appears to be Scandinavia. The voice is a bit off, though. Sounds like T.C. Carson isn't voicing him any more.


Are there any songs with lyrics you completely had wrong in your head for years? Example: Most people think the lyrics to Toto's "Africa" are "I guess it rains down in Africa," etc.

Brandon does laundry and any IT stuff that needs doing. I occasionally clean... something. Usually some fixture in the bathroom.

I don't really spend much of my not-a-work time doing chores. Our room very much reflects this.
