As of yesterday, I have officially been back in the world of Therapeutic Day Treatment Counseling for a year. I almost can't believe it's been a year. Then again, when you combine the past year with the experience I had on this career path previously, I almost can't believe it hasn't been a decade. I'll be … Continue reading It’s Been a Year Already?
On the Job
Work Ethic
What does it mean to have a good work ethic? Does it mean that, no matter the circumstances, come hell or high water, you are gung-ho about punching in and doing your job? Does it mean that you’ve set goals for yourself and your life and you’re willing to do what it takes to achieve … Continue reading Work Ethic
Really? Already?
Well... it happened. And we're not even a month into the new school year. I've got a cold. I mean, it's certainly not the end of the world. I've had worse. But to think we've gotten three full weeks of school under our belts. And even saying that is a stretch, because the first week … Continue reading Really? Already?
Seriously Inappropriate Laughter
This is going to look like it's a political post. But, I promise you, it's not. This is a post about basic human decency. Or the lack thereof. The other night, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came across this article posted by a local news station. What bothered wasn't so much … Continue reading Seriously Inappropriate Laughter
Field Trip
Now that I’m back to working in a school, I’m back to experiencing all of the perks that come with that environment. One of those perks is the field trip. I say perk. I might actually mean punishment. I’m the new guy. I’ve only been in my current position for a few weeks. This week, … Continue reading Field Trip
What’s Old Is New Again
I'm back y'all. Did you miss me? Don't answer that. I'd like to just assume that you did and that you've clicked on this post because you have seen sitting by your computer for weeks just waiting for new content from your friendly neighborhood Single Guy. So I'm gonna just assume that. Okay? I'm glad … Continue reading What’s Old Is New Again
Old Commercials and Anxiety
YouTube can be a wonderful waste of time. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself watching something useful, maybe even informative, and then you find yourself falling down a rabbit hole of videos and suddenly an hour or more has gone by. Maybe there aren't many out there who find themselves in that situation. … Continue reading Old Commercials and Anxiety
A Week of Hiatus
I know what you're thinking... "Where's Rewatching Buffy? Where's Rewatching Angel?" Sorry, kids. I've gotta take a break for a few days. Maybe a week or so... There come times in all our lives when responsibilities take over and things get busier than normal. For me, this is one of those times. So I'll be … Continue reading A Week of Hiatus
Irrational
Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel like nothing you do is right? I'm not necessarily talking about the days where you actually don't do anything right. I'm just talking about the ones that seem that way. Do you know what I'm talking about? Maybe it's just me. I hope … Continue reading Irrational
A Year Ago…
It was one year ago today that I announced on this blog that I would be leaving the world of school counseling to join my church staff on a full-time basis. I was super excited about the opportunity that had been presented to me. One year later, I'm no less excited about what I'm doing … Continue reading A Year Ago…
