Maia2976's Journal

My work day is starting off  a lil' shakey.  Booooo.  I just spoke to a client whom has stood me up three time in the last three weeks and I informed her of how inappropriate it was and she informed me that I was unprofessional telling her how she should behave.  What a joke!?  And she wonders why she can not become employed.  Hmmm.  Really are these basic life responsibilities so hard for people to comprehend and follow?  It amazes me, really and truly amazes me.  She requested another case manager and I told her no.  I don't really have that authority but really my manger will tell her no too.  "Sir I need a new case manager because this bitch requires me to show up for my scheduled appointments or at least call when I can't make it!  How dare she!"  I gurantee she will show up late or not at all again.  This job is hard sometimes.  Not most of the time, but sometimes.  Situations like these with young adults get me all up in arms and I want to complain and debate how our polictically correct society is giving birth to all kinds of entittlement and accomodation where accomodation isn't necessary.  It's more ENABLING.

I'm sorry, I am likely guilty sometimes too but really and mostly people are STUPID.

I am feeling better today.  I am still very soar but I am not in achey pain right now!  Finally!  I think Troy and I will go to dinner tonight to celebrate.  Maybe I'll attempt something more than soup or noodles or rice!

I was just contacted by CSU's fianancial aid guy.  He seemed a lil' peevey at me, but in the most professional way.  A lil' condecending maybe.  I decided to not reciprocate as it was my email that prolly set him off.  By the end of the conversation however he wasn't so condecending and even called me back 5 mins later to ask if I had heard about a special loan for Social Work majors via CSU.  I have not and he offered that once he did recieve all my paperwork, again, that he'd look into it personally for me.  I think it was his way of apologizing.  I prolly did come off a lil' negative but not unprofessinal in my email but I have just been having the toughest run around getting everything transferred.  I can be abrasive unintentionally and I need to check that sometimes when I am seeking out someone to help me...even if it's the 3rd, 5th, 10th person or phone call I'm making.

We don't really have the extra cash to do it but I can get a desktop for my home at a really good rate.  I think I need to bite the bullet and just do it.  I'll absolutley need a computer at home come school days.  I really want a laptop but it is like $500 cheaper to get the desktop.  What to do, what to do?

I am having fantasies this A.M. about winning $800,000 (why that amt., I do not know).  Gee, I'd quit work for now, go to school full time and be okay.
