The swimming laps were hard for us. <Grin> Jamie had tryed to coax Kelsie into a relaxing swim, but we'd forgotten to take our medicine which meant Kelsie didn't settle down until about 10 am. Although Kelsie is high maintenance, she's damn discerning in a quirky genius manner!
At 10 the other Q came in our office to attempt a sabatogue. Ann caught the brunt of that effort. Ann is getting a lot of compliments tonight! She is an adult part who used to be less able to handle forceful people. This time she didn't take the guilt trip nor accept all the confusion the co-worker had put the work through. We figure the co-worker is a power broker trying to make an issue of ALL that she did for us and the center during our 2 month absence. But, this was a case of the co-worker avoiding REAL responsibility.
Kate came out next with our anger. The co-worker had created chaos with the work and had tried to overwhelm our system. Kate's not timid and gives us our signature sense of structure and order. She typed up a fairly diplomatic notice to Sr. Tess of what was left undone and askew of the work. She reestablished Sr. Tess' authority in prioritizing our work. And, she moved her pawn toward a refusal to put up with this co-workers many disruptions.
Sr. Tess had come by, listened and accepted the notice. She smiled and responsibly said, "Relax ... I've got it." Have we written about how important it is to really feel this kind of support? Man, if your not getting it ... ask! And, the thing is? We trusted our boss and did as she directed. Just went back to working more productively than ever. Jamie reworked a client goal that the DSP (Direct Support Person) did wrong, then she did some amazing calculations that helped me write 4 more Qnotes.
Yep, yep ... turned out to be a pretty good day!
