As I have said many times before to anyone who would listen, each day is truly a new beginning. The day started nice and then within minutes of 7:30 am began to unravel right before our eyes. People sick, people angry, and people just plain refusing to do anything. What a time to stop drinking coffee! Yet once again we were able to motivate those we could and find the antecedents of the ones that were angry so we were able to get them started once again. By the time school started we had the situation in hand and almost everyone at school or heading in that direction.
Thank God level heads prevailed! With the help of the RN we even we able to bring all but one girl to the Cafe.
After Lunch it just started all over again. Girls angry and threatening other people. Anxiety was the overall feeling on the floor. With the help of staff from other places we just forged ahead and were able to remotivate everyone to move on to the next activity.
OK, here I must say that my co-worker was a shining star, as always. Without her help I would have thrown in the towel many times if not for her energy and skill. She was able to deal calming with folks that had me on the edge. Thank You!
Keep in mind that all this went on before 1pm, and then it started all over again. Yelling, screaming,cursing, threats and the throwing of the shoes to boot signaled the start of round three. By the time the next shift arrived for work things appeared to be once more calm.
Blessed be the peace keepers for theirs is a very hard job!
GOOD WORK!
