Ok, intermission from the hard stuff. What are some fun, strange, possibly annoying classes you think T had on his/her schedule in T school.
*this is not meant at all to discredit any of their education or hard work*

- Silence: how to sit comfortably for an hour
- Shoes: what kind and where to find them, since you know your clients will stare at them

Anyone have one?
Thanks for this!

I once arrived at my T's office building just as he was coming out of the men's room. That was a tiny bit awkward.

They seriously need a class on what to do when your T runs out of Kleenex. I went in today, and right there, on the table where a box of Kleenex once sat, was an almost-gone roll of toilet paper. I saw it mid sentence as I was sitting down and busted out laughing.

T was kinda embarrassed about it and said it was a roll of "tissue"; not a roll of toilet paper. LOL

I know, LOLOL, I keep laughing about it too. And now that I think about it, it's such a man thing to do, isn't it? I would have brought some Kleenex from home (he had to have seen the box getting low, no?), or maybe run out during my lunch break. But toilet paper? No way boy! LOL

The worst part is that the roll of "tissue" had only a few sheets left on it.

beautiful.mess, well--bathroom issues are on my mind lately! Actually, my T HAS run to the bathroom sometimes before we start because she doesn't have breaks between clients. That's okay with me because I leave the session at least once, but that's because I get nervous and 90 minutes is a very long time.

I could totally see my goofy T doing this and trying to justify it as "tissue". With a perfectly straight face.

T's...making the inglorious glorious five days a week.

Thanks for the laugh!
