When the sassy and salty NEW MEMBER to the face to face BIP group got nasty with me about being in the group. He was so awful 
and yet his power and control didn't work with me. I simply said that "this conversation is over and if you truly believe you do not meet the state's requirements for the program then I will be happy to take another 150 dollars for a new assessment with a different provider however you will not speak to me and tell me that you don't qualify because as it stands now the way you are trying to command to me this situation clearly demonstrates your beliefs of being in a dominant position.....feel free to not come to group this afternoon and if you decide to not attend your probation officers will be made aware...." I mean salty! Stood my ground and did my job. I am grateful for being strong and objective with him.
Grateful this morning for such a good night of sleep. Shiloh did try to play tug at 230 this morning and I obliged for a few minutes before reminding her that it was night night time and to go lay down. She did! Whoop whoop! Praises for her listening!
Grateful today for a busy day 
! Virtual BIP orientation at 9, Virtual BIP group at 11, and a female BIP Orientation at 1. My day should end about 3 since my 40 hours will be completed about that time. The most important tasks today will be to get the victim notification letters out after the BIP orientations. 5 new members today!! Whoop whoop! Super excited and grateful for new members!
Grateful this morning for the weekend as I will be pulling doubles both days and I love being busy each weekend. I still have to have a conversation with the owners about sneaky snakes that work there and stand up for myself about being the brunt of nasty talk by the front desk lady that verbalizes things that got missed or done incorrectly as being my fault for every single one.
Not having it.
