Adopting parents. I would say 85% of them absolutely go bat shit crazy during the adoption process. This might sound harsh and don't get me wrong, I completely understand how this process brings out raw emotions but STEP OFF THE CRAZY TRAIN PEOPLE. ( And maybe 85% is a little high, it's probably like 84%) What these people go through is emotionally draining and I'm in no way disregarding how hard it may be at times BUT please don't call me yelling and screaming because your doctor is a douche nozzle and is taking his sweet time giving you an updated license, k? Good lord, my schizophrenic, transgendered clients weren't nearly this irrational. They start off like this:
I was dreading telling them I was going on maternity leave but surprisingly, they all were very nice and wished me well (as they tap into my water line at night and infiltrate it with cyanide).
You ever think about freaking out on them and then blaming your raging hormones? Probably the only time in your job you can do this. And if you get fired forget I said this.
ReplyDeletePS- I am still waiting on my TMI pregnancy posts.....
I put myself into $70k of debt to learn how to NOT freak out on people and use my "social worker skills" (vodka) to handle these types of situation. Not to say flipping my lid is completely out of the picture, stay tuned. And about the TMI post....I'm gonna wait until I actually give birth so I can give you some REALLY good reading material :)
