This morning we had the former night shift guy on, so rather
than stay in the dorm I came out and sat in the main room. I was happy and that
just can’t be allowed to go on.
Darkness Abounds. Will I Be Blamed?
When I went outside to the Conex box where my locker was the
strings of Christmas lights they are using which provides poor light to begin
with were out. It was very cold which means hurrying to put stuff in and get
stuff out, but no light so frozen fingers. Someone had a flash light, so helped
me get my locker opened to get to my flashlight, then I helped two people with
mine. Then the lights came back on. This happens fairly often. Jury rigging
with strings of Christmas lights, what could go wrong? I had no one pour coffee
into my locker, put their muddy robe hanging over it or drape their wet jeans
over it last night, something must be wrong in the universe.
This is how we have to live and it is not the weather that
makes us catch pathogens. I suppose if I complained to Dan about the lights being out often he would say it was
my fault because I had not wired the Conex boxes and installed the lights. Of course,
I have the authority to make these decisions and do whatever I want, you know
since I can’t generally sit in a damn chair in the morning or even bring in
crocheting or my laptop so I can write, oh and FFS can’t bring in more than
what can fit into a gallon size baggie at one time, but it’s all my fault, everything. Let’s
not forget that I am not allowed to do any chores until 7 AM.
The Crazy Shower Wars of 2016 Seem to be Continuing Through 2017.
Last night there were two people signed up for the three
shower stalls at 7 PM, I was the only one signed up for 7:10 PM. I went into
the bathroom early right after 7 PM. There were three people in the shower.
Often our times run over as they only allow ten minutes for a shower, what
those of us with common courtesy do is simply get our showers done as fast as
we can and move on so others can shower, especially if they are waiting. I
expect to wait some, but this was ridiculous. These women knew people were
waiting and took around ½ hour. One of them got angry when I mentioned the
other woman had an appointment she needed to get to and said, ”I need at least
15 minutes to shave and I won’t be played that way.” What the hell that even
means in this situation I do not know. I have had women intentionally go into
the showers so I could not get in and they were not showering. This has all
gone on since I got there and greatly increases my health problems due to the
orthostatic issues. They could care less. But it is frustrating for everyone
because they come to shower and find they will not get in for a long time. We
all run over but most of us care that someone is waiting and try to hurry
rather than just sit there and socialize.
I got tachycardic, nauseous and dizzy secondary to Postural
Tachycardia Syndrome while standing there which happens a lot, due to low blood
volume which is typical of ME/cfs because I had to stand there so long. Leaving
the bathroom means you lose your spot waiting, so it is hard to tell the staff.
I was told one of the main reasons they have all this extra staff now was to
supervise the women’s dorm and showers, that never happens unless someone goes
and gets them and even then it may not. There are many arguments over the
showers, I tend to report the problems to staff rather than argue because there
is not point to it, they are egocentric.
Riotous Dorm.
It was nuts in the women’s dorm last night. Intoxicants
slurring and yelling and quite a bit of crazy behavior. It’s like a junior high
school slumber party. This is SOP.
Propaganda Abounds.
The news media propaganda about the homeless getting housing
continues. A reporter told me that just repeating press releases from the
shelters is journalism when I had told her that not verifying what they told
her was not.This is SOP for Boise Idaho journalism.
