Oh man we "rumbled" in our meeting Today.
So most people have a replicable mindset. People are replicable. Boss got MAD about that. She felt like by everyone stating this, that we were meaning we would move on and forget and replace people. Its not that we replace THEM. But we totally fill their role when they leave. Like Clinical Director K. She left. Shes on maternity leave and then moving. Her role is going to disperse through several other people ( they are taking on that task in addition to theirs) So yeah. her role was replaceable. The person is not.
It was a merry argument for like 20 minutes, New clinical director ( also K) is one who gets super overwhelmed when our extrovert ADHDers go off. Me, CEO, R, J, we are all extroverts on the neurospicy side. Well R is just pregnant and grumpy lmao. But we get loud, talk over and to each other, Feed on each other. C was just like mad at unfairness ( yeah there was some going on too) and K was like FUCK FUCK FUCK. She was nearly in tears. We had to CALM our asses down. K even raise her hand to get attention lmao. Which we saw and acknowledged lol. We TRIED to pull back big time.
It was a THING. Then everyone came in to apologize at intervals. I told CEO later when she asked me seeing I was actually fairly quiet through the whole mess. she really WAS taking things out of context and no one thinks we are walking people out the door when they arent happy. But as a company there HAS to be a boundary and hard line between rules, who has to follow them ( EVERYONE) and what is flexible and not. Because some take advantage of our make it spark work culture.
We are at this huge crossroads with 50 current therapists, and bringing on like 8 more this year. We cant let some people walk around the rules and make others follow them ( in terms of how many clients are seen) which is what sparked the "theres the door" conversation lmao. We HAVE to have some more boundaries or we will just collapse.
It went really well TBH. Because therapists know how to fight kindly and fair lmao. We can all disagree and come back together with love and support.
Then one of our interns finished up and came in to cry. She said I was the most supportive lifeline she could have ever imagined. Especially when things were hard or went wrong. I apologized that I didnt get as much time after she got established to visit, She was going on about how she valued so much our chats and I always made time for her and she couldent imagine our company without me holding it together. AWWWW> Like trying not to cry. I tried making jokes at my expense but she wouldent play. Damn it, stop complimenting me lmao. But im doing my job well then if im connecting enough to be so impactful. She has some tests and surgery and she hopes to apply to work here in 2026.
Shes so sweet. She was a good asset. I gave her some thoughts about what she needs to think about in terms of what makes her happy when she applies. Like what clients % of adults vs fam vs couples, hours, and group ideas if she wants to do it. It went super good lol.
we still havent told people about building 7. R ordered the signs for 6 and 7 today haha. Thankfully im the one getting all the shipments. We close soon! haha. MAYBE we tell people then. MAYBE we hide it longer lmao. we dont know yet. It gets easier to hide things with time. Like at first you are BURSTING to tell. Then it calms.
Like my work bestie R hasnt announced her pregnancy and she finds out what it is soon. 12 week blood test and its now routine! Crazy how fast THAT changed. Little girl is only 10.
But the plan is me and CEO R move across to building 7. Its an amazing historical Victorian on the historical directory. And then move N into my current office.
And good thing too. We hired 4. Then got an email from someone we interviewed more then a month ago who decided she DID want to come, she originally turned us down because the other job paid more but WAY more stress. She wrote that shes done with it. DONT BLAME HER. Her job sounds MISERABLE. Then I projected we needed another LCSW supervisor ( in progress) soon. Because with pregnant R needing Mat leave. K never returning in person and a lot of little social worker babies coming on. They can ONLY be supervised by an LCSW. So we need another one! And we had one email saying she saw our listing was closed BUT she wanted to know if we were willing to meet anyway.
interview on monday lmao.
I do LOVE my job. My new virtual assistants are FIRE. They are amazing! Learning so fast! Im so grateful. N is working as my assistant in a bunch of duties. Because other then CEO R im the busiest person. And I work more hours then her so im probably in some ways busier. But different ways. I needed help. We got it. Im totally excited for all our changes. I couldent imagine working anywhere else really.
CEO even said shes giving me every raise she can so I dont leave lmao. I like my job a lot. I wouldent WANT to leave.
T and I are off and on doing ok. He goes through these childish moments that makes me want to strangle him. Maybe I should, He probably would like it lol. But then other times where things are great. I think a huge part of his issue is he stays home to work and never gets out. He needs to get out more. Big time.
But its up and down. I guess 20 plus years will do that regardless.
Ahh im fucking TIRED. I took a 3 week break from aderall and have taken 2 tablets during week 4. Im trying to cut way back. But there are some.. effects lmao. I slow down, speed up crash and burn. lol.
I put on about 10 lbs sigh. I havent been active or had time to walk. And while I totally get that its not anyones job but my own to get out of my office. AND its a huge privilege to be able to take a 20-30 minute walk on the clock. I need to make time for this shit. Because this bonus 10 lbs is making me MAD. Sure I fit some of my pants better. But I dont want to be chunky anymore. Im cool with being somewhat fluffy. But I liked 145. 155 is back to looking chunky.
Sigh.
Its fine. Ill get on my own habits. I gotta control the munchies. Being super busy DOSENT control munchies at all! I just munch at my desk... :P I was around 1800 calories so far today and its 630. While its likely a decent amount for weightloss, I need at least 500 Less. Stupid body.
Then there is my hair. Its still fucking RED and my skin is NOT looking good. Even wearing a blue shade that normally looks great on me. It dosent look good. DAMN IT.
ok i guess thats all i can think of. Have a fabulous day!
