100 Challenging things a boy could do

[synapticjava]

Back to work today. I'm not all that excited about it. I'll have to pass meds on my first shift back after training with no one to help me. I should mention that if you mess up on meds you're immediately terminated, do not pass GET THE FUCK OUT, do not collect unemployment. So I'm a teeny tiny wittle bit nervous. There won't even be another trained person there tonight to ask questions. In my unit it's me and a part timer and in the other unit it's an untrained full timer and part timer, and with Secure Housing giving me the UBER silent treatment, I'll have to pass meds in both units. EEP.

OTOH, it's Saturday which is historically the most stressless day of the week. No programming or school, limited visitation, usually only a few home passes. The only downside is that a bad Saturday is a bad day. One week we had 5 visits, 2 psych evals, and 4 home passes and appointments. It was a nightmare. *please don't let today be that day* And unless our numbers jumped back up, we should only have about 8 kids. Much easier to deal with than the 14 we had on Monday. *shudders* It seems the county is trying for the catch and release program, tagging all the minors and releasing them back into the wild.

I think I'll take Serenity in and make the kids watch it. If I have to watch one more Adam Sandler movie I might stable my forehead. You know, just for funsies.

A 'mess up and you're fired' policy combined with no training/not much training seems not only too harsh but amazingly stupid. Maybe if they don't want people to mess up, they should supervise a little more and train a little more.

Sheesh.

I'm sure you'll do fine, bay-bee.

And yes! Serenity sounds like a plan. :)
