Yooooo

Like u?

I mean how many people here actually work full time I'm probably already halfway there at least.

Only if u give me $1000 first

I've been seeing them in stores lately. It's tempting but I'm on a diet

$300 because I hit bonus level for productivity in February, and $300 I'll start getting every month for having the crisis phone.

I saw it today. It was alright. Also the power at my theater went out for like 10 minutes right when the movie started. That was fun.

Oh god no. Nothing like that anymore

The cons I've been to aren't even that bad for that kind of thing. Like there's definitely a higher concentration of autism than you'd find elsewhere but for the most part it's the socially awkward/harmless style of autism. Nothing to worry about, just nerds having fun being nerds with each other. I see plenty of kids with their parents at cons and there are usually lots of good panels for all ages and other cool stuff to look at. Just keep her away from the Rave portion. Don't want to corrupt her too much.

Probably some kid at her school. Or, you know, the internet.

Paperwork. And meetings. And driving. A lot of driving. Seeing clients is what my job is all about though. When I talk about "productivity" that means face-to-face or phone time spent with clients. That's how I get paid.

U gotta problem with that?

Next week looks like it's going to be the same. My schedule's already pretty full and I have a bunch more people I absolutely need to see next week. Gonna hit bonus for sure though my productivity's been great. Gotta get that money.

You have more in your bank account than me and mommy pays all the bills for you anyway. What's the problem?

I "work from home" sometimes which means I keep my phone on and close by and pretend to work on notes when I want a day off but don't have the PTO.

Love u, too

It's called plastic

I guess one of my coworkers once had her husband get on the phone and yell at this same client when he called her a cunt. He was on speaker and her husband heard him say it and gave the client a piece of his mind.

It's not that bad, really. Never had to deal with an actual crisis so far.

Great he can talk to my client who says he wants to move TOMORROW and asks why we're not doing anything to help him, but when I explain to him that no, we can't find you another place to live by tomorrow but say "Okay let's sit down and try to find housing tomorrow instead of just going to Family Dollar like we usually do" he says no he wants to go to the bank and we call someone from an assisted living place that he already had an assessment with and was told he does not qualify but he is absolutely convinced that he does even though I told him no, you don't qualify for that but clearly I'm wrong and we should call the assisted living place again even though it would waste everyone's time.

Oh yeah it definitely can be. Very first time I had the crisis phone we had two clients who were really bad about the whole "calling for random shit that can wait" thing. One of them had been with the program awhile so she understood how things worked and was good about only talking for 10 minutes or so and then hanging up. The other guy was new to the program would call multiple times every day, at all times of the day and night, to basically just complain about how awful we all were at our jobs. They've both since moved out of the county so they aren't in the program anymore. Phone's been fairly quiet since then. Hopefully you get a good placement. The agency you work for and the supervisors you have can make a huge difference. I did the same job before and was miserable. The agency I'm at now is so much better.

A real crisis? Call 911 to have police come to the client's home to transport to the hospital. 99.999999999999999999999999999% of the calls we actually get? Just talk to the client for a bit. Sometimes they'll be really stressed out or upset about something and we just talk until they deescalate. Sometimes (like with the call I just had) they'll call for random shit that can most definitely wait until normal business hours. In those cases you usually just talk for a but, then remind them that this is a crisis line and what they are calling for is not a crisis and we can speak about it during normal business hours. If they don't get the hint after that, we pretend we're getting another call and hang up because some clients will just go on and on and on if you let them.

My clients are always right about everything and we are always wrong. Yup that's how it goes. Only had a few calls this week so I guess I can't complain too much. Just this one client really testing my patience.

Do you...do you want to fuck a cartoon dinosaur mascot?
