Back in the 90's when I went to college you could tell where everyone was broadly from when they talk or often from how they dressed .

Last 10 years or so seems like we are moving toward a more general American accent. When I go visit my uncle in New York the Gen Z and younger most don't have what I know as a new york accent.

Same when I travel to the south the southern drwal seems to be disappearing from the younger generations.

Same with clothing. I could look at someone in 1997 and just tell you yep they are from north east , or south or California. I can't do that anymore

I always give 30 min window for my home visits. In case traffic or one visit runs over. I have had clients call my boss and say I'm late if it 10:05 when I said I'd be there between 10 and 10:30.

Currently in my car after no answer at door. Call client not home. I said I'd be here between 11 and 11:30. It was 11:10 client goes oh I'm not home you're early . I'm here right in the window I said I would

Does this just come with the job or is there wording I can use when I set up my visits. Before hanging up I repeat ok see you on ____ between x and X .

Bonus get them to remember I'm coming. I've called 4 pm day before and they "forget" my 1 next day. Oh I forgot you were coming I went to the grocery store

Many parents choose the path of least resistance and ease. When their kids are toddlers they give them the PB and J mac and cheese and nuggets then make something else for themselves.

Then are shocked when they have a 5 year old who won't eat chicken on the bone.

With my kids from time they could eat they ate what we ate. (Not infant they still had Jared baby food I mean like solid food ) also we ate when they ate. It's hard to feed a one year old and eat yes. However it's good for them to see your plate and also know their food is the same.

We are have grilled chicken kale and rice for dinner so are the kids. I'm not feeding them early and feeding them processed stuff because it's quick and easy.

Job lease is up and they are moving to a new/different building. It's closer for some employees further for others. I've heard several people say they are looking for a new job. What would you do

Broken down by each what's your utilities cost you

Something I saw on hygiene thread. Trying to see what everyone is doing

Do you

A turn on water wet body turn off lather. Turn on water

B turn on water do all you're going to do then turn it off

I’m the only male case manger in our specific program across 5 counties, and somehow that has turned into “give him every inappropriate older male client.”

They try to keep most workers in 1–2 counties to cut down on drive time. Meanwhile I’m covering 4 out of the 5 counties because these cases keep getting transferred to me.

We’re Medicaid waiver and all our clients are 60+. Some of these older guys will answer the door naked or sitting in their wheelchair with just a towel over their lap. Instead of telling that CM, “Take security with you next visit,” the case gets handed off to me. We literally have two security staff whose whole job is to go on visits with people if needed.

And we only see these clients quarterly, every 90 days. It’s not like these are daily crisis visits.

What really gets me is these guys are magically never naked when I show up. So they absolutely know better and can control it when they want to.

I get why the agency does it to an extent, but it’s frustrating when the solution becomes “give it to the male worker” instead of addressing the behavior directly or using the security staff we already have. Meanwhile I’m driving from one end of God’s creation to the other because nobody else wants to deal with certain clients.

Not sure where else to put this

Recently had jury duty and was called up for a trail. During voir dire, when they are questioning potential juors. I noticed I'm a whole lot more fidgety than most people. The seats were comfortable abut I can't sit still for more than 8 min and that pushing it. I need to shift cross and uncross my legs lean forward lean back etc about every 3 to 5 min. Looking at the other 29 people in there they hardly moved. They would be in one spot for 30 min plus.
