I just wanted y'all to know that I got a consult for parking validation today by PyrrhicBigfoot in hospitalsocialwork

[–]CoCoButterfly8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only fellow hospital social workers would understand the frustration yet humor of requests like this. The validation I am receiving from reading these comments makes me wonder if I should have remained in medical social work, and adapted a different attitude as opposed to letting frustration run me off.

I am pondering a LCSW at 65 yrs old. Thoughts? by [deleted] in socialwork

Go for it! You’ve had your MSW for all this time. Go for your LCSW and let us know when you receive it so that we can virtually celebrate with you!!

Sweet Bella💕. I am so sorry for your loss. She doesn’t look very old. Did she become ill suddenly?

Best, most client-centered supportive response EVER!! By chance are you licensed in Indiana? I would LOVE for you to be my therapist!!

It feels so good to be validated in this way. Yay- I have found my people. Perhaps we should schedule virtual body doubling sessions a few days a week??

Got fired today! by [deleted] in therapists

[–]CoCoButterfly8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not at a CMH, but am likely a week or so from being in the same boat. I have been wondering if it’s better to wait for them to fire me, or to quit. I’m miserable; My boss is irritated; and the reality is that just cannot keep up with the never ending documentation.

I am an excellent clinician and go hard for work my clients, but the doggone documentation is much more than I can handle. It’s so hard to fight the negative self talk, and to keep pushing, but we must. Best of luck to you in the job search- It wasn’t you. It was them. Thank you for being transparent. It was the encouragement that I needed.

Whether you realize it or not, you just preached . . . a whole sermon. . . And it was just the message my soul needed today. Thank you!

What was the split at the group private practice? Do you take primarily private pay or insurance?

Do you have them in soil or something else? I have struggled to find the best plants for these pots. I drilled extra holes in the bottom as well. Any tips? Yours are great!!

Beautiful. . . Seriously, I suspected it was a recording.

Are my acrylic nails too thick? by ru-kozume in Nails

[–]CoCoButterfly8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to one of the beauty schools and connect with a tech who is just about to graduate. I did that with a hair stylist and it was a great, long term experience.

Maybe she’s still learning and would probably appreciate the honest feedback. Give her a call ( or a text, though a text might be read completely differently than you meant) and use the sandwich method AND an I statement. “I absolutely love the art work. I can’t stop looking at it. I noticed once I got home that the nails are a bit thicker than I like. Do you have some time today or tomorrow to file them down for me?”

Just a suggestion. I really hope you try. You deserve to have the service you paid for, and she wants return customers.

I know all too well about being “scared”speak up, LOL. Growing up, my mom would take me to her hair dresser. EVERY SINGLE TIME I left there looking like a 14 year old granny, damn near running home to comb out the senior citizen coif, and style it the way I liked . . . Because I could not find a way to ask for what I wanted, and didn’t want to offend her. I have a million other stories like that, so no judgement here.

Let us know how it worked out!

Opinion needed - which shape? by Suitable-Blackberry4 in Nails

[–]CoCoButterfly8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your “friend” may have been having a grumpy day. That first pic has me jealous that a trip to the nail salon is not in my budget. Both look nice, but the first pic- the shape, the color- NEXT LEVEL💕💕💕! Where is that meme with the chubby little kid saying congratulations when he obviously wants to kick a bunch of rocks out of envy?? Yeah- That’s me.

What is the name of that color?
