Which is just a really nice way to say "monthly bitch fest."
I need to leave the house in 45 minutes for my consultation, the one and only meeting that I really quite enjoy.
Because when you deal with the kind of people that I deal with on a regular basis, you need a place where you can sit and just spew about your cases. Clients. Assessments. Patients. Whatever. And that's what consultation ultimately is, despite the boring spin professionals are wont to pin on it: a meeting where we talk, and sometimes even curse, about people we've seen recently. It's great. A clinical psychologist leads ours, so we get (brace yourselves, jargon forthcoming) the multi-disciplinary perspecitve.
Which is just a really nice way to say "same caretaker, different letters behind the name."
When I worked at one of the local mental health centers years ago I earned the moniker "The Ventress". That's because there were times when I would return from a home visit, flop myself in a coworkers' office (their words, not mine!) and pronounce: "I need to vent!"
I own that. And I find nothing wrong with it, thank you. If we couldn't get all that muck out, where would it go? Hence the blog.
So I'm off to get ready, with no snarky comments about it being a gray and bleak Friday morning here in my town.
I leave you with a brilliant cover of "Borderline". Yes, that goofy, ridiculous Madonna song. But this is well worth your time. Happy weekend!
