hiatus: over!
I know I’ve been MIA. This is what I made in the meantime:
Random, non HIPAA-violating tales of woe will resume this week!
extremely helpful “fyi” handout that appeared in my box this morn
goin’ to see the guy who swallowed some batteries…
…apparently, he’s ready for discharge.
baby nazgul is 2 today! (Yes, honey, you can wear the cat bed all day.)
just wowed the er staff
…by guessing two different clients’ blood alcohol levels correctly* over the phone based on law enforcement’s one-sentence descriptions of their behavior.
I think this is my superpower.
*within .001
I’ve been teaching my cockatiel to make loud sex noises, so everyone in the apartment complex knows… this is Carol’s bird!
- inappropriate client confessions
also, this is what I do during staff meetings. Crappy gel pens ftw!
*sigh* …one of those days.
um...
- Me: So the staff members at our halfway house say you want to discharge, but you haven't followed up with our AODA counselor yet and you said you were looking for help with your alcoholism...?
- Client: What?! I'm not an alcoholic! I only said that because I was drunk.
Line three is asking for you. She won’t say who she is but she insisted on telling me she’s talking through her blanket.
- irritated receptionist
