The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

Today I formally meet my schizoaffective client who is also an exhibitionists. I'm hoping I can get a couple hours out of him, which I don't think will be too hard given he went on and on and on and on over the phone yesterday. But if not, it won't be the first time things don't go as I plan them.
And if I pieced things together correctly, DCS mom should have had her court hearing yesterday. Gonna suck if she's in jail and I no one tells me, I get to tell the kids--again--that mom's not coming, and I lose out on my most solid billing hours.

There have been a few who took the Onion as real news.

Fooled by ‘The Onion’: 9 Most Embarrassing Fails

I like how the New York Times (to which I subscribe) thought an Onion piece was real, & reported on it.

I wonder if they think this is real?

Had a recurrence of very bad acid reflux this morning at 2:00am..... did not get much sleep..... which means...I could actually do computer programming today...... they only way programming ever made since to me was when I was suffering from sleep deprivation...

Have you been doing the late nite snacking thing again?

Nope...it woke me up.....nothing quite like a sleepy grumpy old bear with acid reflux......

Decided I wanted a blueberry muffin. but I did not have time to walk to the place I would normally buy a muffin, where the blueberry muffins are full of blueberries, the most I have ever seen. They are delicious, and they do not use much sugar either. So not having time I went to the cafeteria in my building and bought a blueberry muffin...and the only reason they could call it a blueberry muffin and not just a plain muffin was because it literally had 2 blueberries in it....that's right...just 2...not exaggerating...it was literally only 2 blueberries.

have you been checked for sleep apnea? It was a cause of my reflux (eating too close to bedtime was also a contributor), which has all but gone away since I now use a BiPAP machine.

Seemed to fit the situation....there were only 2 blueberries in the blueberry muffin with 2 blueberries

Yes I have and yes I do, but it is minor and as long as I sleep on my side it does not happen at all and it happens only occasionally sleeping on my back. . I ate at 6:30pm, went to bed at 11pm and acid reflux woke me up at 2am

My problem is that I have been trying to get back to eating properly but not as successful as I would like to be...that and I got back into coffee...which is a major no no for acid reflux

Just had a conversation with a person at my office who was telling me about their bad acid reflux and that they are on medication for it..... all while eating macaroni and cheese with a chocolate cookie for dessert.

You should do what I do.....hate drinking coffee.

I limit my coffee intake to morning hours...I no longer drink soda, except an occasional Orange Crush, prescribed by my urologist to keep kidney stones at bay...

I will give that a try....I KNOW!!!!! I will just pretend it is bacon and I will never drink it again

I drink water and tea and occasionally almond milk or soy milk....but recently I got back into coffee and that is bad for acid reflux, but it was giving me no issues... could be a combination of the antibiotic I'm on and just about anything...who know

Today continues the feeling that I am so very inadequate for the position I hold.

 

[Wu Wei]

I've felt that way for years....I have also, on many occasions, felt I was in someone else's dream job..... just not my dream job

give it time...eventually, your brain will relieve the conflict between what you know and don't, by burying that knowledge, and you'll become quite comfortable with your post

at least is to be hoped...

The biggest "don't know" for me relating to this job is how to carry on a conversation/get one going. The program coordinator sent me to check in on this one client just so I could get some billable time after loosing my DCS visitation, and she told me this guy would talk to me all day if I let him, and I struggled to get a half-hour out of him.

It's better than being over-confident.
