At my job we occasionally get a "crisis" call. This means, the person on the line is so distraught we have to transfer them to a professional counselor to talk to ASAP. As an intake Coordinator anyone that sounds like they are in imminent danger to themselves or others, we have to keep them on the phone, notify a supervisor and they will get the on call Licensed Professional Counselor.
On Friday, I got my first Crisis call. Now although he wasn't about to kill himself or anyone else, this particular gentleman began having a panic attack and was completely out of meds. He was on anxiety pills, anti-depressants and God knows what else. This poor gentleman totally broke down over the phone. while my supervisor called the On Call LPC, I was able to calm him down back to normal. The LPC who listened in to the tail end of my covno w/ panic man told me what a good job i did....
YAY! so it is sinking in

No time for blogging
unfortunately I've been so busy I haven't had time to write. Shame on me, I know. my job doesn't really give me enough time to put my thoughts on the screen and school has me tired most of the time i just pass out when i get home. These are just excuses
Really I've had fantastic blogs in my head but they haven't been jotted down. So let me catch you up with whats going on. School is good, could be better since I got a B+ in my last class, but that prof was ANAL. Right now I've doubled up and I'm taking two classes. One evening class meets Monday and Wednesday, the other a weekend class is online mostly and you meet for one weekend; Friday 6-10, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 9-3. Not as easy as i once thought.
My job is what it is....a job. nothing special, just dealing w/ people day in and day out. Management is on us at all times and it's getting tired fast. Jason said just work until 6 months and then get fired. LOL I'm in school anyway, i don't need the hassle.
Living w/ my brother is cool. I have a built in support system and best friends (the dogs are the bestest friends you could have).
On the dating/love side... Coach is still around. Although he will be moving, I like talking and chilling with him. He's cool peeps and we have a lot in common.
I am chit chatting with someone else... I'm not going to name him yet until after a second date. He's nice and easy to talk to but again he's someone who is not always readily available for me...meaning distance not that he's not single. What is it with me meeting guys who are unavailable?
Other than that, my momma's here for the weekend so i'ma get my lovin' in
and we'll see what happens w./ the new guy
