A wishy-washy wimpy doormat. Yep. Right here. I admit.
Two weeks ago today I took a couple of the dcks for almost 5 hours. Never mentioned payment. When dcm picked up she said J**** paid you, right? No, I said, but don't worry about it. Then she said "Well no, I'll tack it onto next week's pay." "Ok, no problem." Two weeks forward and they must've forgotten. Why am I like that????? Now I'd feel awkward to say hey, remember you said....?
Then yesterday I get a call from a former dcm, wants to stop by at 4:45 with her dd, wants to visit. Tempted to ignore the email but no, instead I replied sure...would love to see you! So she comes at almost 5:00, other dcm that I mentioned above picks up at 5:10 and because the 2 used to work together, sits and chats for another 10-15 minutes about their former work relationship. Problem is my hours say 7-5 but I've let this one dcm slide because it's hard for either dcm or dcd to get here due to their jobs. They're nice people and I feel I'm being picky or bitchy changing my expectations of them at this point.
B E A T I N G myself over the head with a bat.
I will be redoing my contract/handbook/policies after I complete all the paperwork for my level 3 STARS. I'm just afraid if I change too much on everything I will lose a dcf or 2. And quite frankly, I haven't been getting many calls. Nobody is around here.
Ok, picking myself up off the floor now and ready to duck the tomatoes
