No, I've just been working in health care for a decade. You're not paid enough to take the chance of getting sick. I understand that you did what you had to do, though, and I don't fault you for doing it.

abbott, i like yr. line breaks.

last year i had a serial butt-scratcher
asshole-manipulator
in my class
he was also very huggy
inappropriately so
and i made him settle for occasional handshakes

a pee-covered notbook is only a prelude to
realizing there's a silver-dollar-sized smear
that isn't chocolate
on the side of your hand
and that you have no idea
how long it has been there
and that you have to bleach
and purell and bleach again
and eventually take a shower
and clip your nails a little
before you can feel clean again

and not let on how icked out you are.

haha what can you do
I used to work with developmentally delayed kids and once in a store one of the kids pulled an entire turd out of his pants. I took him by the wrist (same logic as holding a snake right under its head) and walked him to the bathroom to deal with it. I could have yelled or lectured or told him he was awful and gross and unhealthy, or hemmed and hawed and wished I had a plastic bag, but I didn't. You have to work with what you have at the moment and solve the problem. I did tell the kid while we were in the bathroom that this is the place you go when you need to poop.

pulled an entire turd out of his pants

omg

Christine - isn't urine pretty sterile? Given the situation it sounds like Abbott did exactly the right thing and I know I would have done the same.

How did the urine get on the notebook? Did I miss that part or is no one asking the important question?

It's awful an dismal out today but it's Wednesday which is sort of close to the weekend which is nice.

Couple of my friends surprised me with tickets to see a John Waters 1 man Christmas show on Sat night. Psyched.

goddam u. i waited too long to get tix to that and then they were too expensive, and now i am sad. also, apparently, missed him signing books at the coop by about 20 minutes.

remy bean in exile, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 16:03 (twelve years ago) link

Well, two people cancelled so they have extra tickets they're trying to get rid of! Want me to find out how much they would want for them?

i was once pooped on by another kid, and the school didn't do a very good job of helping me out at all. i would have loved to have had an abbbottt helping me out that day!

just booking the outbound flight, 80 quid pp no bother

Lol wait we're flying to leipzig

Sure it's only down the road. There's all sorts of harebrained schemes involving complex combinations of flying and driving being presented to me.

campervan ftw, or tent/interrail

Every other option seems to be too dependent on scarce/dear accommodation

how did the pooping on happen

1. kindergarten
2. sitting really close to the kid next to me, like legs touching, for some reason
3. diarrhea explosion
4. squirted up the back and side of his jeans
5. "plop"
6. *staaank*

Z S, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 18:41 (twelve years ago) link

7.
8. profit

Never translate German (schlump), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link

9. someone did end up taking me to the bathroom, where i splashed water on the poop stain on my right leg
10. she asked if i would like to call my mom to bring a change of pants, but i was afraid of making my mom mad (???) and so i said no.
11. spent the rest of the day in class with a poopstain on me.

see, an abbbottt-esque figure to help me was totally absent, i would have really appreciated it

- havent eaten a real meal since monday. currently polishing off a basket of fancy cheeses and crackers and antipasto that my aunt sent us for no reason

- havent gotten dressed, havent showered

- spent most of the morning playing skyrim and the afternoon playing records and interneting

- terrible waste of a midweek day off, so many boring chores to do

- thinking abt spending the change i scraped together for laundry on pizza instead

Gah, sorry for confuse, its still veganboy, I was just using shorthand really, its too confusing otherwise. ALtho appartently it still was, haw.

Anyhoo:
- went to doc about worrying skin cancer potentiality
- relieved to find out is just "age spots", ha (tho I do have some other spots I need to watch)
- while at doc, mentioned my psoriasis and itchy ear and strange deafness
- ... apparently I have a fucking perforated eardru, and now I think about it, probably have done for a long time
- no wonder I cant hear :(

! well, i'm glad you do not have cancer and that you at least have a diagnosis re: eardrum

i am in NYC and today went to the russian turkish baths (during women's-only hours) and it was awesome - so relaxing, so exfoliating
drinks/"fap" at Mona's tomorrow after work! :)

bloating forecast: ruff swells (p much resigned to deems), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link

ahhh i went to that place once, i was thinking of it earlier, i remember coming out & feeling this weird absence of specific memories relating to the previous three hours of my life because it had been so totally like ... physical, w/no cerebral input whatsoever, it was me just being like JJUHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRrrrrr for a few hours in various hot rooms. there was a cavernous one in which a woman was being beaten w/plant leaves that still occasionally freaks me out when i remember it
xp

Never translate German (schlump), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:35 (twelve years ago) link

i was not beaten with plant leaves nor did i see any plant leaves beatings but i did see the sticks with leaves on them.
there is also a big sauna room (there are 5 rooms + a v cold pool) that is so hot i sat in it for 1.5 minutes before it felt like my skin was on fire. you are supposed to dump buckets of water over yourself in there.

rrrobyn, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:40 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, that sounds kinda familiar, again my brain was not really making memories through the hours i was there, it is just a hazy memory of being in various states of supreme bodily shutdown

Never translate German (schlump), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:46 (twelve years ago) link

it was def good tho & would go again. i got into a weird grudging haggling thing over membership w/the guy who ran it, who i also later heard crazy stories about

Never translate German (schlump), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link

Also just read upthread and bit puzzled at anyone reacting with massive freaking out over a bit of wee, ffs. Lots of people have kids? And little kids like, you know, wee everywhere and it gets on you all the time?

Also, cats? (the amount of cat poo and urine Ive had to handle in my life... ugh)

Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 22:51 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, it's especially weird to hear from somebody in a school setting. kids are nasty, and I would imagine anybody who's around them would be accustomed to a lot worse than a pee-soaked notebook. but i can also imagine an administrator making "a thing" on some weird grounds of decency or whatnot.
