So i'm back at my old job from a few years ago and i love every minute of it...well most of the time. Right now i'm concentrating on getting my client's files in order and figuring out all the fuck ups our two students have made but don't even get me started on them ughh. Anyway so i meet with people on probation and find them places to do their Community Service Hours. I probably have around 200 clients that i must see every month. Two of my favorite came in today.
The first gentleman i had the pleasure of hearing on the phone the other day while his probation officer and myself were disscussing an appointment for him to come and see me. She assured me he's really a big teddy bear deep down inside and laughed. He strolls into my office today 30 minutes late asking when i'm going to hurry up and see him cause he doesn't have all day. I start laughing immediately before i've even turned the corner to meet him. He's got some spunk that's for sure. I don't bother to reschedule his appointment as i'm surprised he came down at all to see me. In my office he proceeds to tell me that he's not going back to his placement cause he got bugs there....whatever that means....so i'm going through our database trying to find one for him. He complains about all the ones i choose, he's loud, crass and has absolutely no people skills whatsoever....I ask him if he has computer skills and he laughs and tells me that he can't even read or write...throughout all this though he puts a smile on my face and i am able to joke around with him even though he's a crotchity old bastard and i get a smile from him back.
The 2nd fav of the day is a girl who calls me in the morning and tells me she didn't fucking wake up in time for our fucking appointment and she needs to fucking reschedule it. Classy gal i can see. So we reschedule it for later in the day and she shows up 45 mins early and then appears rather angry in the waiting room that i'm busy when she's arrived and cannot take her right away. I did mangage to see her 30 mins before her scheduled time.....
Ah now i remember why i missed this job so much. You don't run into people like this everyday and as much as some of them will be a big pain in my ass, they keep me on my toes and make me laugh.

Wow! What a crazy job. I can't even imagine the "interesting" people you must meet on a daily basis.
Also, I'm thinking it must be interesting to go back to a job you left once before. I've thought about someday going back to my old job and I think it would be really weird. You know, the whole "you can't go home again" philosophy. Have fun!
i tried going back to an old job...the part-time lifeguard thing...but it failed miserably, so glad i'm now a barman instead, it's much more fun
I have absolutely zero tolerance for people like that. More power to you for being able to handle it.
LOL!!! Its funny how that story sounds a little different than how you explained it to me in my car. LOL
You got to be careful though, Ash. That big teddy bear may want to do more than just smile, ya know. Does sound like a crazy job. I would be scared to be in that job. I am guessing most these people are not what you call normal citizens. Well as long as you’re happy every job is good.
