Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Ok, yes I have tried to patient with some stupid people because I like them aside from thier stupidity. But today has for some reason pushed me into I'm about to get mean with you arena. Why? well my supervisor has many stupid moments, moments that I may have myself if I were in the same situatioin as she is in, which is why I don't judge, I just go with it. So today's STUPID act involves a family. I have to first explain the dynamics. Tween male child is living in a home with his grandmother. Social Services is concerned because Grandmother cannot legally get his medical or educational needs met. NOBODY knows where the parents are. I have asked SEVERAL times for contact information from the Grandmother, who has this child, for the child's parents. She always tells me she does not know.
Well today I get an email from my supervisor that we need to have a meeting with the parents. I send an email back stating I have NO CONTACT INFORMATION for the parents, NONE. she askes me to contact the grandparents and ask them for it. ????? OK, so I call grandma who does not answer the phone as usual, so I leave Voicemail asking for contact info for parents and stating we need to have a meeting, I then try to contact grandfather to try to get contact info for this child's parents, who also DOES NOT ANSWER, so I leave VM, and send her an email that states I called both grandparents, but was unable to reach anyone and had to leave VM.
DUMBBITCH sends me an email "That's great news! can you get with .....(another social worker) and have her invite her people to the meeting too?"
WTF! did she even read the damned email? I am considering sending this BS to the Program Manager
