You make me miss my former therapist. I could talk politics and religion with him and he I got along just great!
Dude, I will talk politics and like religion with the best of them but I work for a VA now. I can't state my affiliations in that realm. It really kinda sucks because I am FINALLY in a RED STATE and I WOULD TRASH talk with the best of them, but I really can't. I have to say stuff like (as long as folks like, are not arguing amongst themselves) "If I could agree with you, I might agree with you.) I can also fuel the flame like, by adding in fun stuff like the "amended CDC numbers and whatnot."
I mean these guys are substance abusing vets, often with Chronic PTSD and like, a little COVID is not going to phase them.
If I discuss religion I have to call it spirituality, but I mean there is a difference but you can call it that and be like you gotta dodge.
It all started by me being like, "Look the VA says I have to wear this but I am not the boss of you so if you want to discuss amongst yourselves if you um, how you choose to wear your mask I'm not gonna argue with you, you are all bigger than me.
Then they told me to take it off and I was like, "Yeah, the second I did my supervisor would stop by." LOL. But, I will take it off so you can recognize me, in case the hair isn't enough, and in that case, I invite you to gently encourage that person to change it because I have the best hair."
They were plenty entertained. So was I, in like good ways and amazing ways. I have to say vets as a whole are one of my favorite populations EVER. Their stories deserve to be told they are hair raising, funny, awful, tragic and fantastic all rolled into one.
It's late. Forget catching up. Not happening. I sent the "I have been trying to get 4 telephone calls added since early afternoon and here is what happened" email and like I think they like are gonna let me train. I ..... efficiently and like, uh, well I could probably shorten the email some but I had to say what the scheduling desk did/"did not etc. etc. But yeah, that is how you get more stuff. I was like OMG I cannot spend 5 times what it would take to switch the note, not with addiction they are the most non compliant population it is INSANE.
