<p dir="ltr">Aaron is an old friend of mine from when I lived in Maryland. He is now making his way as an awesome comedian. This quote is from a show he did that I got on DVD for Christmas 2014. He was talking about all the folks boycotting Chik-Fil-A because they have a stance about homosexuality and when he eats there, he has been asked things like, "So, what does hate taste like?"</p>

The client lasted all of 10 minutes and then was redirected elsewhere outside the office; it was a 2 hour meeting. Keep in mind that I work mostly with mentally ill adults; this happens more frequently than I wish.<br />
<br />
The public appointed guardian was participating by speaker phone and the rest of us were physically there. <br />
<br />
The client's case manager said to the team, "She wants a cat". Immediately and very sternly blasted through the speaker phone was the above statement. <br />
<br />
Never thought the word "no" could leave such an impact; it was scary and admittedly funny all at the same time.JElsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03498353159710757511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682932119351579273.post-19119878148747802602010-07-16T02:22:00.000-07:002010-07-16T02:22:53.368-07:00"Only what I draw on paper."One of the clinicians at work asked a client, "Do you ever see anything other people don't see?" and above is what the client calmly and exactly said in response.
