wolf Goes to Rehab (WAS: Tales from the New Nuthouse) - Page 4

At my old, old, old job...
We used to bet lunch on whether people would last till lunch. WAY TOO MANY did not.
Spending 4 hours with the ~~boss~~asshole was more than most people could handle. Especially when one had nothing to look forward to but 4 more hours of the same after lunch.

We had a teacher quit at my kids' school during the/their first day a few years ago. Just walked out. it was a good call, it was evident they weren't a good match. But unusual to throw it all away quite like that. It's a public school, they were transfered from another school. They might have got transferred back out if they hadn't just walked away....

Wolf, you have an Infinite Monkey Ringtone? I want one of those!

Oh, yeah. I changed the thread title.

I'm in rehab, now. Not the asylum.

one day at a time, eh?

I'm working the program.

I recently became a part of someone's searching and fearless moral inventory. I got an unsolicited apology for something I didn't realize was happening, but was significant to the individual.

BigV · 05-02-2012, 10:53 AM

Noted.

I have had that experience too. The such apologies are most often more for the benefit of the apologizer than the apologizee.

I got my first compliment from a family member. The other night I took a call from a lady while husband was hospitalized for psych, but had some addictions going on as well. I explained a lot to her about suicide and addictions, information her husband's treatment team hadn't been taking the time to go over, according to her report. She asked if she could speak to my supervisor about our conversation, and I told her that would be fine. When I came in today, boss-dude said, "a lady called about you, told me you were really helpful. Good work."

Yes, I am awesome.

We always knew.

You truly are.

glatt · 05-04-2012, 07:17 AM

That's fantastic!

BigV · 05-04-2012, 01:19 PM

Nice job, wolf. Good on you for helping her and good on you for getting caught doing so.

classicman · 05-04-2012, 10:45 PM

The first of many I'm sure.
You are very good. Nice to be at a place that acknowledges it, eh?

wolf · 05-04-2012, 11:14 PM

Almost don't know what to do!

I just told hyperguy and another cow orker tonight, "just wait until I clear my probation, then you'll find out what I'm really like."

wolf · 05-05-2012, 11:14 PM

I survived my first night alone in admissions. And by alone I mean me and my friends myself and I. Phones were ringing, I had patients in the lobby waiting for a doc who was dealing with medical emergencies elsewhere on the campus, other hospitals wanting to send me patients with little information offered, and little experience on how the rehab does some of this stuff. I only texted the boss-dude a little bit for advice and the nicest thing ... Hyperguy called me to make sure I was doing okay.

And I'm doing it all again tomorrow.

There is a TV in the patient waiting room, to keep them entertained. One of them asked for the channel to be switched to AMC because he didn't want to watch an NCIS marathon on USA.

Total score. Watched Jeremiah Johnson, Earthquake, and Backdraft.

Backdraft is one of my top ten favorite movies. Saw it a dozen times in the theater, can't remember how many times since. Made it an especially good night, in that respect. Oh, and it happens to be St. Florian's Day. How's that for a coincidence? And to top it off, I was wearing my Baltimore Fire Dept. polo shirt. Yes, Backdraft is Chicago Fire, but it is still Fire. I didn't know about the St. Florian thing until after I got dressed.
