Yes, bonny, it was a great laugh. I'm really glad I managed to stir myself from my weekend stupor, even if just in the nick of time. Plus, the ticket was $50. I'm not sure I'd be allowed in to see another Scottish comedian if I had been so wasteful with money.

Heh! Billy Connelly might have something to say about that!

I am not sure how official this is (they asked today, I answered, no paperwork has been done and they may or may not need to post the job externally for official purposes), but I appear to have agreed to become the house coordinator for one of the three houses I work at as a Direct Support Professional. Incidentally, I am also one of seven people in the entire company all over the state to have been accepted to the company's mentoring program for people who want to pursue national credentialing for Direct Care Professionals.

I'm so pleased for you, Andi!

Boo, personal growth, boo!!!

Mantra.

I feel that way too sometimes. Mantra!

Just sick to my stomach because there are no good outcomes here. Just pain for all involved. DH is over at his brother's house now lending emotional support. I haven't seen my nephew. I don't think I can without breaking down.

So much ~ma, Laura. I'm so sad for your family, and for all involved.

I still use a Day-Timer. When I w/h/i/p/ get it out in meetings, people gasp like I'm their own personal Christopher Lloyd. I've managed to avoid a blackberry for work all these years, so I never made the transition. I do have an iPhone for personal use, and there is an app that hooks me into Outlook, but I've never felt comfortable storing personal appointments there.

I use a paper Day-Timer that I loooove. I still don't have a cellphone, and am avoiding the Cloud. I just find paper so comforting.

I just finished watching the Fox version of Rocky Horror Picture Show and...well...I'm not sure what I expected but...yesh. Though, the best part of the remake was what I thought was the worst part of the original. Columbia!

Cross posted from Beep Me. I'm kind of freaked out.

So, I talked with a lawyer this morning who says the client has no case, but could file a small claims suit...that would either send us to mediation, or be thrown out.

This evening, the client has called my home number 5 times in 5 minutes (at 9pm) with a voicemail threatening to call the city, the BBB and more. Thankfully, no threat of physical violence, but he sounds unhinged and everyone knows where I live.

Please. Safety ~ma and calm-the-hell-down ~ma for this guy.

Safety~ma, bonny! That's scary. May the guy come to his senses and calm the fuck down.

Oh bonny! So much ~ma. Not fun. Be safe.

DH is home from visiting with his brother. All reasonable people want the kid to turn himself in. Instead he packed a bag and took off with his girlfriend 'refusing' to go to jail. Obviously this is the most recent in a long list of bad decisions. He is still responding to texts with his dad. So I guess now I have actual specific ~ma requested. Turn yourself in boy! It is such a nightmare.

eta: He is in jail now. It wasn't pretty but it is done.

YOU GUYS.

How am i just NOW finding out about the new series on Netflix about QE II??

My life just changed.

Oh no. How awful for everyone involved.

Thank goodness.

My life just changed.

Nuh-uh. Your life WAS changed, and now it's back to normal.

Thanks for the good thoughts Zen and Laura. This has NEVER happened to me before and, in nearly 9 years, I've had 3 complaints...including this one. None of my actual therapy clients have ever gone this nuts.

Not every client is thrilled, of course, because some folks just don't want to hear the bad stuff. But no one has ever even asked for their money back, much less threatened me.

Tom, you are totally right.
