The never ending headache and obnoxious pain-in-the-ass ungreatful "children"

Ugh. My head has been hurting for almost 24 hours now. Freakin' pain in the ass, obnoxious, good for nothing clients at work. Yes, they have sucky home situations, but they've got it pretty good while they're at The Children's Home.. and they think we're so mean and disrespectful to them, making their lives a living hell, treating them like they're in jail. What the HELL ever. They can't even imagine what we could make their lives like if we treated them the way they treat us. Little shits.

Ok, enough of that rant. Last night was the worst night of work I've had yet. We called the W-S PD twice. The head officer on the last call tried everything she could to take at least one of them away. One of the girls had "attacked" another staff with the phone, leaving a nice bruise. They all ran away once, 2 of them 3 more times after that. In the afternoon they had a pow wow in the middle of the floor with pots, pans, metal cooking bowls and big metal kitchen utensils banging and yelling, almost like they were doing some sort of tribal ritual. They were acting like 2 year olds not getting their way. The funny part about it: Becca and I were locked in the med room when this all started, so we started drumming on the walls and desk in there. That stopped them for a few minutes. LOL. And, last night I guess shit hit the fan too.. cuz the cops had been out last night too. 2 of the girls almost or did get in a fight. Jeez-a-peez. This is not what I went to school for 2 years for!! It's freakin' glorified babysitting. I'd rather go back and take care of those 2 rotten boys I babysat for a few years ago; and that's saying a whole lot. Kamille, the other staff last night, was already talking about calling in sick. We were both at our wits end. So, I called in today too! I was supposed to be on call. Hell if I'm working for 6 days straight with those brats. They're all on level 1, with hardly any priviledges for the next week plus. Which is going to make it hell from now until then. Lord. 300 more hours, and as soon as I've met my internship requirements, I'm OUTTA THERE!!

Now, I still have the remnants of a headache, and I feel as though I could puke at any point. I'm not sure if the headache and stomach ache are connected or not. I bought some excederin (sp?) but even that didn't seem to help. This is not going to be fun if I have a constant headache all the time that I'm working. No good, and not worth it. I'm actually going to start searching for other places to work around here now, so I can have something lined up for January-ish.

So, that's my rant. Now I'm going to go see if swimming will make me feel any better. I need a massage, where's Lori when you need her?! ;-)
