'Just Rewards (2)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I heard back from the head of volunteer services on the Denver Comic Con position I applied for.
"We'd like to have you meet with us to discuss the role and how you might fit. "
Does that sound like an interview to see if they want to pick me? Or that it is mine and we need to discuss how the new position fits within the current structure? The meeting will likely be on Saturday.
That sounds like an interview to me, Suzi.
Sounds like an interview to me too, Suzi.
Speaking of which... other people who've done group therapy, have you ever had an interview for joining a group? My therapist suggested joining this group, so I contacted the woman who runs it, and she asked me to come talk to her and the other therapist who runs it. I got there, and it was seriously like an interview. The group was full and they were interviewing me to see if I'd get a place on the waiting list, and how high my place would be. They kept saying they wanted to make sure I'd fit with the group, which I get, but I left feeling like I'd failed a test. They never called me back. It was weird. I've done group therapy before, and those times, you just had to show up. It wasn't like, this is AA and you should be in OA, you don't need this type of support, it was more like an exclusive therapy club. Has anyone else encountered this?
Never heard of it, but my experience is pretty much nil. Gotta say though, sounds like a great way to make people who already feel bad about themselves feel worse.
Sounds like a good way to get people to find a different therapist.
I used to do screening interviews for the rape/sexual assault/child sexual abuse support (not therapy) groups that I did, to screen out for things like active suicide ideation, personality disorders that were outside my skillset to handle (but I'm not a trained therapist), etc. But presumably the fact that your therapist referred you to the group and thought you'd be a good fit would carry some weight.
All that aside, they definitely should have called you back and explained exactly why you didn't get into the group, if that was in fact the case. Anything else is downright unprofessional.
I am tipsy on prosecco!
Whee! Tipsy!
15 out of 50. Social anxiety probably accounts for the points I got. I love being around people! Except they make me anxious. But then, I make me anxious, so...
I think I did interviews for the DBT group I was in. It's been a while, though.
I think I pulled a rib muscle. Very mild discomfort until I move in certain ways or take a deep breath or poke the area. Even then it's not particularly painful, just more discomfort, where one boob is attached to my body, sort of where an underwire goes. Last week I started doing some qi gong exercises. I have not really been sore from that, but yesterday I was feeling really achy all over and made myself do the exercises again. I was thinking the movement would make me feel better. It didn't. Now with the addition of post nasal drip, congestion and sore throat, the body ache was viral in origin and the rib muscle thing is a result of pushing when I should have just stayed in bed.
