Both of my appointments for today were no shows. I watched everyone else pick up walk ins and have their appoinments come in early. But I got to sit and enter in files while everyone else got to do what they were supposed to be doing. Further cementing my dissatisfaction with our policy that has no place for no shows. I felt really unwanted and unliked today when both of my appointments didn't show. One did come back later and I took him as a walk in while, I took another walk in at ten when my first didn't show. I just wanted to say that my first day did not go as I had envisioned. =[
I don't feel very happy about being disregarded like that. I even told the first appointment that finally bothered to show up that he hurt my feelings. I hope it made him realize how it's not ok to blow stuff like that off.

And this cold crappy rainy weather isn't helping my mood at all.

For whatever reason, it does seem to happen from time to time: every appointment on YOUR (and by YOUR, I mean ANYONE) calendar is a no-show. It can really put a crumple in your day--I know. Do keep in mind, though, it really isn't anything personal. And I know, even though we do have students who take advantage of our good nature from time to time, the majority of students super appreciate our willingness to help. And if this doesn't help to ease your troubled feelings, I am working as quickly as I can to create and enact our new policies!
ReplyDeleteTake a few minutes, if you've got 'em, and read through the other centers's policies I sent out--is there anything in there that strikes you as fair?
Thanks, Eden! Tomorrow's another day in the Center, and there will be a new round of students who are waiting to chat with you!
