I work with and for a bunch of Sheilas and I am always getting called on the carpet. Anyhow, there is a client who has a goal of sitting still for 5 minutes, she has not achieved it. I had her sit at a table and had her engaged from 8:32 to 8:54, only stopping cause someone backed up a toilet and no Sheila is willing to snake them. (Here I am, brain the size of a planet and what do they ask me to do, can you snake a toilet). When I was asked how I did it, I replied that they should imagine what I could do if I had competent staff. They asked again, I quoted Karon's book on Schizophrenia- "When all else fails, try being human." Then I started mocking them "But Mr. Ric, its hard, oh its so hard. It makes me want to POOPY". At this point, another Sheila was laughing so hard, she was covering her face with her hands and I started shouting "That's right! Cover your face in shame. I'd do the same if I was you!" Then another Sheila came running and asked what all the yelling was about.

Do you think I will get in trouble again?

Surely, you have story of ranting at work worse, which would make feel better?

And finally, how is it that I am a fully functioning adult and yet when I do laundry, I end up with one pair of mixed matched socks. I would have faith in sock gremlins, but I have thoughts which interfere with such faith- you know just ask any Catholic priest

Hi, My name is Cathy. I read your post about your rant at work today. I believe we spoke awhile back when I was working on my MSW.
Maybe the stress of working in this field finally got to you?!

I have read posts before where you said you didn't like your co-workers, but loved your job. Could you possibly find another work environment/capacity?

You end up with a pair miss matched socks because
you started out with a pair of miss matched socks.

Laundry machines are not the personification of some sock miss matching monster eagerly awaiting the delivery of your calf length
rayon gold toes so it can psyc you out by pulling the ole
switcheroo. They are only machines. Relax, breath, check the bottom of your hamper and the back of your sock drawer.


As for the Shelas at work?

Screw em!

What is snaking a toilet?

Only men can do it.

In german Snake is Schlange, and in English Schlange is shlong.

It's a long Shhhh... you know, the S curve, a long, you know, S.

Stands for Snake.

It does not bite like snakes, but it sure delivers a punch and frees up blocked passages. In some cultures they use it to shot up yakkative women. In North America they use it to make babies, to clean up clogged up toilets, and to make jokes with it.




Snaking a toilet is not far removed from goosing a chick, yanking a chain, whacking a kid or torpedoing your own job.

Other than this, if you want to know more, please use your imagination. I got all this from there.

google is your best friend. Snaking toilets is letting a long, rigid but bendable wire in there, which can turn around its own axis even if it is bent. The end of it has a bulby scraper. Went he toilet clugs up, you let the snake in there, and you hold on to the tail end. Wehn the snake gets stuck and won't go in deeper, you know it hit a block. You work the snake by turning it and pushing it and pulling it, until all of the standing water in the bowl leaves all of a sudden, with a satisfying "glrshhhloopppp" sound.

You pull out the snake, and try very carefully to remove it from the known universe without smearing with it any parts of your bathroom, your hall, your walls, your pictures and the carpeting, your stairway and the bannister. This is all futule. If you have a wife and kids, they will be smeared, too, and you, of course, come out of the ordeal as the abominable brown man.

Hi Cathy thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, my mouth kinda gets me in trouble. Last two interviews: Guy talked about the need for appropriate appearance, I said I was sorry as I didn't realize I was so creepy looking- I thought delivering results was more important. I have been told I look like your classic absent-minded professor, even in a suit and tie. Next interview, the guy said he did not know what I was talking about (Milton Erickson, SAMHSA and CBI, etc), my response was- that's why I will knock off all this admin work for you, but I also want to see clients, because I am not into polishing my azz behind a desk, you do that and you lose touch with what is going on in the field.

But I am trying; hitting the library tomorrow to send out resumes. I think I need interview coaching.

Lmao.......only men can do it bull hocky....I have pulled my toliet up more then once and used the snake to clear the lines... As well as went outside and snaked the line there....

Ohh and yes I even replaced the sink in my bathroom as well...

Yeah, sure. Next you will say you can pee with the seat up, and that you and Yellowrose can pee in the same toilet at the same time.

Please... don't assume that being a woman is a shameful thing that must be denied. That is not true. You can be an upright citizen, in good standing, an excellent contributor to the state, even if you are a woman.

But that does not mean you have to be a man while being a woman.

Try to accept your womanhood, with its strengths and limitations, and one of them is that two men can pee in the same toilet at the same time and at the same respect, while two women can't.

Try to understand, please, that it's women who ask, beg, demand, command, and connive men, to put down the seat, and not the other way around. (I.e. that the seat put down men.)
