Gonna see if I can get this out tonight...
After a little time thinking things were settled down it's all in an uproar again.
I mentioned that both the new supervisor and program director have no experience in our program. The supervisor has plenty of clinical experience, but she has no experience with the kind of clients we see. Tuesday I was trying to talk to her about one particularly difficult case I have. She kept telling me we needed to "get rid" of the case. I kept trying to explain that we can't "get rid" of these cases. It came to a head when she said, in a tone of voice that a parent would use to a child "I am not going to argue about this." She told me that she was going to discuss the case with the director the next day then we could discuss it. Next day she was all friendly, like she hadn't snapped my head off the day before, and said her boss said we were to proceed with the case. We butted heads the previous week about something else she didn't understand about the program. I'm so frustrated that she and the director don't understand what we do and apparently don't want to learn about it.
I drove home Tuesday night listening to Miranda Lambert at volumes to make my ears bleed. It helped calm me down a bit. I also spent some time on the phone with a friend ranting it out. I finally came up with a solution that I hope will help my peace of mind. We'll see if it works.
Added to the work stuff I've had a "heck" of a week with my fibro. Cold fronts railroaded through the state this week triggering flares. I came home from work yesterday and curled up in a ball on the sofa. This gets so old....
I thought the grief stuff had settled down. It's started up again. Edjit that I can be I realized last night that tomorrow would be Mom's birthday. How can anyone supposedly so smart be so dam stupid about this stuff?
Then there's the whole upcoming holiday season....
Thank gawd it's the weekend. I need some downtime.
