All about perspective. Am I my whole world or am I a speck in the universe. What actually matters? What deserves my time? What is worth thinking about?

The Lateness of the Hour

For the most part, I don't have any complaints regarding the parents that I work with.Most of them are great and we have very open dialogue about the kids. However, some just pick up their kids and go which seems to work for them and others...create unnecessary drama.

Last night, a parent decided to let me know that she didn't appreciate the fact that I wrote up a late slip when she picked up her daughter at 6:05. A few things to note: 1 - all kids are to be picked up no later than 6:00, 2 - this was the second late pickup which means there's a late fee attached to it, 3 - it was actually 6:10 and 4 - this happened a week ago. So anyway, I kindly mention points 1-3 to her (not in that order or with that exact wording but you get the point). She proceeds to give me grief about the exact time by next saying 6:07 although she clearly signed a paper that said 6:10 was the pickup time. She also told me that she knows the rule but the staff last year understood and would let it slide. She would just tell them that she was sorry and give them a nice Christmas gift. Pause. I clearly can't speak for what was done last year but I do know that there was a different protocol. Even if there wasn't, I'm not them. But I digress. I reiterate to her that I follow the rules set by my program and also mentioned that I don't treat anyone differently. It was the second time and I had to document it. Now she goes on to add new fuel by telling me that I threw the paper in her face and told her that she needed to go to my organization's main office to pay the fee. Not sure when placing a paper in front of someone got confused with throwing it but...I digress again. I take the time to apologize despite this by saying it was not my intention to offend her and that everyone wasn't clear on the policy so I wanted to make sure that she knew. It's hard to describe her tone at this point but she thanked me for educating her on the policy (she seemed to want to say something else) and told me that it wasn't about the $10 fee, it was the principle. Yes, the principle is that you picked your child up late and you need to own that. At one point, she even gave a sob story of how she is seeing patients all day and then her youngest got sick and had to go to the pediatrician. While unfortunate, you were still late. 

Now I thought that was the end. She thanked me for 'educating her' and walked out of the door with her child...but then she came back in. Clearly still upset, she asked me if children were supposed to open the door. To give background on this, my coworker was changing into a suit for a presentation after work. I was in the gym with the remaining four kids. This parent called on the walkie talkie. My coworker had just gone into the bathroom. I peeked my head out of the gym door to see which parent was at the door and then called a 4th grader to go open it while I stood watching her walk down the hall and keeping an eye on the kids in the gym. This is well within the acceptable procedures given the circumstances and the way that the school is set up. The doors are all glass which means I have no trouble seeing who is at the door well before I reach it. Anyway, I explained that it was not typical for us to do but given the circumstances which I explained to her, it was allowed. I even mentioned the fact that my co-worker had just returned to the room and she would have been waiting outside for about 10 minutes otherwise. 'Okay, I just wanted to know what the policy was...I'm going to call to make sure.' Call. 

I gave my boss a heads up. She's in agreement with me. To top it off, I had to go to the main office today and it turns out, this parent never paid the late fee and after today, I cannot take her until it is paid. She'll really love me then especially after she asked me if I would be at that school next year...yes, you'll still be dealing with me. Have a nice day!

Sorting through emotion, Labeling and cataloging In a completely exhaustive cycle; A drawer for looks I cannot decipher, And the way you smile when you catch me catching you look, Songs we might have been playing each other go up on top, But where to store laughs, Wonderings of why you were watching me so closely When I was watching a guitar? I have a whole book for words, Chapters of “in vino veritas” that I know you don’t recall, And things for which you were clear eyed and more likely remember, Dotted with footnotes of who heard you say them And what I could see of their face out of the corner of my eye. I have no place for the things that pop unbidden out of my mouth, For the phrasing of words and reactions, For the way my body tenses up next to you.

This is why I avoid this cataloging at all costs- When each feeling has been splayed open and pinned to a board I have mostly just ripped out the fragile nerves that let me feel In an awfully convincing way.
