WOW!

Have you ever had one of those days? Well today was that day for me. What do I mean by one of those days? Well, all I can say is I am so glad today is coming to an end!

It started out as a typical Scott day, you know, wake up on Dad's couch after working on tiling his house all weekend and feeling dead to the world. Then rushing to the dentist to get some stiches out. You know the typical morning ritual. Finding out the my friend the dentist has a doggy door he is throwing out which caused me to rush over to his house a few miles away, picking it up, and dropping it off to my dad's. You know pretty typical in my world. There is a need, something comes up in conversation, and then something manifest's itself for the good of me or others - sometimes both.

But when work began it was not that ordinary - no not one bit! The office had a wall cut out and our room was expanded to twice it's size! More room meant more mayhem! There were new staff members, rushing this way and that and then the bomb was dropped - somebody was placed on a hold and unknowingly yours truly let them out of the building. OPPS.

So the scramble began, searching this person down and contacting the police. Yes - that's right. If somebody has a hold written on them and they get out the police need to provide assistance. Luckily the person was called on the phone and reluctantly came back to our facility. What luck!

But this is where the saga gets interesting. The person was sent back from the hospital and accusations about a staff member were described. Not good. A scandal perhaps? Is the news going to show up here? Were false accusations made? Even though the person was psychotic, it is important to hear them out and we did. Therefore the hold was relinquished - a rare thing indeed. Obviously the meetings and the Pow Wows about this are about to begin and I am curious where this merry go round is going to end.

We've, in our eight years have had a few scandals here. Some have gotten ugly, some have cost our company a pretty penny. You would think that those in mental health have got their shit together, and I hope the person in question does because I love them very much. Only time will tell however.

What started out typical was everything but in the end. Lots of questions being asked, lots of holding one's breath, lots of impatiently waiting for... well let's just see.

May you all have enhanced mental health.
