Consistency... or lack of.

I wish that a regular spot (on days) would open in one of the two units I really enjoy working in. Sometimes it's so exhausting being a campus counselor - floating from one unit to another on any given day - sometimes multiple units within the day. Plus, the clients are NASTY and manipulative to fill in's like myself (some of them). I get so much "I don't have to do what you say, you're not my counselor". Well guess what kiddo, today I am. Every unit also has slightly different rules (based on their coordinating therapist), and a slightly different structure (or lack of structure for that matter). It's hard to have to memorize all 9 different sets of rules. All 160 clients names, all staff names....

Don't get me wrong, I still like my job, and relish in the consistency of a consistent schedule... I just wish that I had a consistent group of kids and staff that I worked with.
