Qwyksilver Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I've actually been in the field for about 10 years of total service time now. Started when I was 18 as a summer job while in college back in 1993. First five years I worked on a maximum security psych ward for the most aggressive male patients in the state (that were not in the psych ward at the state prison - when the unit was constructed, it was because those folks had finished their prison sentences, but were still a danger to self or others and needed to remain committed in a state facility) and some time in a community residence. I've been service coordinator/case manager/social worker , whatever the title for the past 5.5 years. This is just a lateral transfer request that has been in since October of last year. Looks like it might finally come true <fingers crossed> Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastman Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Okay, new change to my wish list for Christmas. I just learned there will be an opening at the Mental Health Center (opening is for staff, not a new admission, just to quell the potential wise comment ) 3 blocks from my apartment. This will be such a HUGE quality of life improvement over my current 1.5 hour, on a good day, commute. There have been two openings recently, but one was for a Khmer (Cambodian) speaker, and the other for a Spanish speaker. (The city I live in has a very large Cambodian and Spanish population) So I am just hoping they don't decide to make this opening at the last minute to Gujarati (Indian dialect, the other non-English language). So, I want this transfer to go through for Xmas. It is the exact same job, but no commute, and because the site is based in a mental health center, the majority of the clients will come to me rather than I having to go to them. Just eliminating travel costs alone will be about a $4000 a year raise!!! Oh yeah, this will also give me scads more time to paint and stuff since I won't be all tweaked out from my commute. So Santa... I've tried. Honest I have. Good luck - I hope you get the transfer. I can understand not liking the commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwyksilver Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 @Fuzzy - Good luck with the holidays. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you right now being apart. Only compounding it over the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I filled a shopping cart at The War Store with $250 worth of Wargods of Aegyptus and Reaper miniatures, and provided a link on my Christmas list to my mother. By a wacky cosmic mix-up, the order confirmation was sent to me (my mother and I have nearly the same email address). It didn't list the miniatures she ordered for me, but it did have the amount -- with tax (cause I'm in New York State, as is the War Store) it came to $91.17. So I get the huge surprise of finding out what minis I am getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglef Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 That's nice for you, Bill. My mom still thinks mini painting is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Bill- sounds like you'll be getting a nice surprise when you see exactly what minis you got. If I could convince my folks to actually buy things online, that would make it a lot easier to provide them with suggestions. Lots of good stuff at the War Store (last time I was in there, I left with 9 pounds of metal, which made flying home fun since it was all carry-on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Let me guess, Eastman -- one of your arms is incredibly ripped, the other isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Heh, it's like people that work at an ice cream shop. One arm has a forearm that looks like Popeye. The other looks normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Let me guess, Eastman -- one of your arms is incredibly ripped, the other isn't. It was only 9 pounds of minis, so it wasn't that hard to carry (easier to deal with than the work laptop computer I was also carrying, and a little less than half the price ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
