As- let's just say I'm really a strong believer in the whole "keeping the customer happy" business. In this job I'm in, we work with the students directly, yes but the customers we really serve are the parents. We make sure we meet the students' need and provide the communication they need, and then communicate with the parents weekly or as often as necessary.

I love the students I work with. This same student has been giving me a hard time in terms of waking her up in the mornings this week so I'd get her up and she'd go to bathroom. Then she goes straight back to bed where I find her "sleeping" again.

I get her up again and go check on other girls. I come back and find her in bed yet again.

By this point, I'm starting to crack and telling her that she's running out of time- it's 6:20 or whatever and we have to leave dorm by 6:50 to go get medicine (for a few who are on meds) and then straight to cafeteria.

Well, this morning I changed it up.

I got her up the first time, after the second time finding her in bed, I got her up and out of her room and locked the door. She couldn't go back to bed so what did she decide to do? She went into the bathroom and locked the stall door/sitting on the floor.

It's one of those types of bathroom you'd see in public.

So of course I can see her sitting there on the floor with her back to the door... One other student poked her and tried to get her to move (unlocked the stall door too) but with her in the way, I couldn't open it so what did I do? I grab the water spray bottle (for hair) and sprayed her with water.

That got her to move enough that I could push the stall door open a little. silly girl. The student who poked her was cracking up at me for the things I was doing.

I was just trying to encourage her to get dressed for school. While this is all going on, I have this other student hiding under the bench in the bathroom not too far from me.

She's not getting her shoes on so she played this game of "keeping my feet away from you".

Well, I had a fun morning getting them all ready today.

It's a fun job sometimes... Not when it gets stressful but it can be fun at times...
