First Week Insights

Oh my goodness! This has been a very very long week. Thank goodness it is over. I am so tired and mentally worn out. I never thought this place could be any worse than some of my first jobs. But it has surpassed some of them on many levels.
Yesterday I had to do the unthinkable. I had to get in a van with another girl at 7:45 in the morning and drive to the day room (a homeless shelter) downtown and she hollared out the window looking for anyone who wanted to work to load up. Here they came-about 8 of them all black (if you know me you know I am NOT racist in the least) and male and carrying their belongings which probably have guns and knives and drugs. I slowly unbuckled my seatbelt and sat with my had on the door handle all the way back to the office ready to jump should anything break loose.
I was scared you know what. I had promised Donny that that would never happen and I would not do that, and what do I do? I was up til 3 when I finally woke him up and told him everything. I hate keeping secrets from him. He was mad but not at me. He hates that I am in the situation. It won't last long.
