(no subject)

I know I should be posting here more - not just for the sake of posting, but because I really need a forum in which to vent and work stuff out. My latest sense of being overwhelmed has to do with work and being told that I can't be an advocate for everyone. Well, I know, but shit, point out to me who the hell IS supposed to be and I'll make them do their job. Most recently I had a girl nearly crying and breaking herself out in hives over doing a test that really shouldn't be all that hard, but she had asked for help to prepare for it and had been told that Moose or I were the only people allowed to help her, and then just wasn't able to hook up with us and make that happen, and suddenly she was told she needed to test. Initially my boss said he would come back and see how she felt in twenty minutes, but when he came back he said, "you have to test, now." He said I'd heard only her side of the story, but I told him no, I had spoken to other people already and they had said the same thing - nobody else was allowed to practice with her, they had been told not to and that she was allowed to practice with me or Moose only. Everyone else is allowed to practice with each other, why can she be singled out and not allowed to do so by one particular manager?

That whole thing came to a head right at the end of the day, and I came home so frustrated and worn out. And during the day there were text back-and-forths with my cousin, Pen, over whether her father can make it to the shindig we're planning to commemorate my Mom. I think her stepmother is throwing monkey wrenches for the attention, and that we should continue on with our plans, but Pen is hosting and it IS her father. I really should have phoned her last night, but I was so exhausted I forgot about it.
