I am so glad this weekend is behind me.
Work was chaotic - That place was a zoo. I have never in my life been treated with so much disrespect, seen clients treated with disrespect by other clients, or heard so many four letter words as I have in these past three days. And I don't know what it is about holiday weekends, but they're always like this. I just hope that come tomorrow, a couple of ladies are given the boot. I know that's awful to say, but they're ones that are there for drug and alcohol treatment (not spousal abuse), so they can just go back to prison for all I care. They want to act like they're in prison, let them live in prison again because this shelter is definitely better than the state pen (not that I would know from experience, but I can imagine). And if they don't want to take advantage of the break they were given, let them go back to their old life.
Getting excited about Six Flags... Bought tickets yesterday online and it save me $10 per ticket. I know I sound so ridiculou making a big deal about an amusement park, but I never go anywhere. One of my friends went to Germany, another went to the Florida Keys, my sister is going to Wisconsin at the end of the week... And where do I go over summer vacation? Louisville, KY... A measely 2 hour drive from here. But that's how my life goes. There's no way I could afford to take an actual vacation right now and with the way we are incredibly shorthanded at the shelter with no potential hires I couldn't even take the time off, either. So I'll settle for Louisville... at least it's something.
It was weird not having class today. But it was a good thing because now I have eight hours before I have class in the morning. Not good.
