man, last night was the night from hell at work...
i don't even know where to begin...
first off my coworkers and i spot a lady who lives across the street barging onto our property going towards a group of our boys threatening to kill them...she was irate because one of our kids had called her a bitch or something while she was tending to her lawn...she was literally going after our kids and my coworker and myself had to basically tell her to get the fuck of our property...she said she was going to go get a baseball bat and set us straight...she also started bashing our skills as workers, but that's irrelevant...
so in any case, she went back to her house and called the cops...
that was the first time the cops were called to work...
the second time the cops came was when one of our kids disappeared into the woods for nearly 3 hours...the kid ran, and we couldn't find him so after an hour or so we've got to notify the police...we did finally find him after 3 hours, but i don't really know too many details cuz he wasn't one of my immediate kids...
now comes the fun part...i've got to make it short or else i could be sitting here all day writing and God knows i wrote enough reports and police reports and stuff last night to last me a week...
all hell had broken loose in my dorm by around 6 pm...the kids were just going off...like, one kid would go into crisis and then every other kid would be set into crisis...it is generally like that, but usually the crisis can be contained to one or two kids...but last night it seemed as though every single kid was being set into crissi by every new incident that occured...
in any case, it was a really tough night for my coworkers and i...around 7:15 i was already involved in my 6th retsraint of the night and i got bitten pretty bad...and then two minutes later my coworker got stabbed by the same kid...
and yet we had to stay in the restraint because all my other coworkers were in restraints as well...it was mass chaos...the kids that weren't in violent/self injurious crisis had to call 911 and clean up the blood that was spurting all over the dorm from my coworkers wound...
the ambulance came, the cops came (again) and it was mad crazy...
my coworker got rushed to the er...his face was slashed open down to the bone...his jawbone was literally protuding out of his face...it was so nasty...and my bite wound was bleeding and dark purple and you can see every one of his teeth marks in it...i was informed that i also had to go to the hospital...but since mine was not life threatening ( my coworker lost mad blood) i had to stay and write a 2 page report for the police before i went to the hospital...so i wrote the report and dropped it off to the police station, then i had to head to the er...
i called my gf and let her know i had to go to the hospital and she met me at my house and insited on accompanying me...we didn't get to the er until 12:30am, but we were seen and out fo there by 3...so it wasn't too bad of an er trip...they gave me a tetnus shot, and took mad blood...they have to run tests to check for hepatitis and all that fun stuff...i have to go back to the doctors in 6 weeks for another round of blood tests...
i never thought i'd ever see a hospital discharge of mine evr say "human bite" under the diagnosis column, but i guess tehre's a first time for evrything huh!?!
lol...
the night got much better after we got home from the er, so i guess that's why i can laugh about teh night as i write about it...
;)
but it was such a crazy night at work last night...geesh...thank God i don't have to do it again until thursday...then it's 4 days in a row...
