Well the "peaceful, not a peep" run ended today, kinda. Phone rang. It was X. I didn't answer. I never answer. Phone then does its voicemail jingle. I don't listen to it. For hours. She's all chipper. "Hi, just wanted to tell you I'm at the house with Friend. Just taking some clippings of your lilies-of-the-valley. Wanted you to know. I'm not going into the house, though!"
Bet your arse you're not. Can't change the door locks but I can - and do - lock the storm doors to the two mud rooms/entrances. No key; they lock from the inside. And then I always exit by way of the garage door - which I've re-coded so it responds to my clicker only.
Sad. "Friend" is someone X avoided like the plague because she was a drama leech, "always trying to insinuate herself into my life," X would say. Now, since shortly after the Bomb? Best buds. Sad.
Have been corresponding with two officials from the National Asociation Of Social Workers with which I am filing formal complaint(s) against MC. One is my state's chairman. One is the Advocate they assigned to assist me. They are both appalled by the things I've written - the things he did - The criteria is definitely met for violations of three Standards and Ethics. But I can't believe the paperwork asks if I have witnesses! Um, yeah, I have two: the MC I'm filing against who sided with, was smitten with X and...X herself (who was mesmerized by MC). And do I have any documentation? Why, sure, I recorded every session!
At one point early on I was asked, "What is the outcome you're looking for?" "Simple. I want someone to read this, look into it and say, 'you're right, Gardener.'"
Will I "win"? I doubt it. Will I give MC some grief with this process? Yep. Will MC lie in his official response? Undoubtedly.
Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Been told repeatedly there are clear Ethical violations in Misrepresentation of Services, Termination of Services, and Conflict of Interest.
We'll see.
Have interviewed three prospects this week for renting upstairs master bedroom. Ain't tellin' X squat until whoever takes it is already moved in.
Oh, and I had another one of those...what're they called again? Oh, yeah! Great days! But it's way too late. "Brief" Gardener signing off. Will catch up with you guys tomorrow.
