Leavin on a jet plane...

So today was really boring as most Mondays are except for the fact that my Etown supervisor came to visit! It was a pretty good meeting with Chris. For those of you OTs that haven't met up with her yet, its really not that bad, she chats with you for like 10 min then you talk with her and your current supervisor at your facility. She brought in a copy of my research abstract too from last semester so those HID peeeps should expect that.

Today I just led a community living skills group on job interviews. I warmed up the group asking what they think is the number one thing they would do to prepare for a job interview. Ideas were things like "personal hygiene, clothing, preparing with questions for your employer, role-playing questions you might be asked, bring a resume and being able to articulate it--basic stuff most people know that these people may need a refresher on. Then I handed out a checklist that I found online (google is great) and had some people choose a bullet and talk about how they would prepare for that item as if they were looking to work in a fast food place. So the scenario of the fast food place helped. Then I found an article written about the top 10 mistakes of interviewees which was helpful for them they said. Next week I asked what they would like to work on and they mentioned practice filling out applications, building a resume and role playing questions...soo good I have ideas for next week.

We had a coping skills group today too that I co-led, this is prob the hardest group to lead I think, I had to run after someone that left the room abruptly and was not allowed to walk on the grounds alone..soo that was interesting. I wrote one weekly note today, walked it up to chart it in the unit and on my way out, they tend to say their farewells and today was ' you leavin on a jet plane?' 'Why YES!' was my response.

Got back to my paradise hotel with a pounding headache, my brain was literally bulging out of my eyes/ears. I napped for an hour and woke up to the same pain so I took some nsaids. lol. I like saying that. Then I proceeded to get pizza delivery:) WHICH by the way was a tad cold; however I still destroyed 3/4 of it plus 2.5 bottles of water, which is typical. Food is my anti-drug, besides Ben folds and Night at the Roxbury oh and yomike of course.

DESTRUCTIONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

Ok, um 2 seconds ago on the news: "Hey pizza lovers beware...we have a story for ya before you down your next slice" GREAT. CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT. guess that will be on my blog tomorrow i.e. my impending death.
