The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

in a world frozen, iced and vacant, do you still see the sun?

Well. Another one bites the dust. Within 2 months, we've gone through 4, YES, 4, different supervisors.

The company is distributed like this

A. Director down to

b. 3 seperate Program Managers down to

c. 11 Program Supervisors (my job) down to

d. Team Leaders (1 in each 24 hours site)

e. Direct Care Workers (520 to be exact)



Ok, so there are not many of us Supervisors to begin with as you see. We have about 13 8 bed sites and 40-50, 4 bed sites (group homes). I myself, have 6 sites, I did have 7 but we hired a new supervisor that took one of my over abundant away.



In the past 2 months, we've gone through at least 4 supervisors. They get hired, say I can handle this job, and then when they realize what it means to be the boss, quit. There's this douche that was hired about 1 month ago. He was a teacher who had a masters in history. He had no idea of the logistics of the job that I do. He thought it would be an easy paycheck.

Guess What!



He wrote 5 of us, including the director, a resignation letter last night. He couldn't hack it. I was doing most of his work and I took it upon myself to teach him how to do his job while running my own homes. So this leads me to today,.



An emergency meeting at 11am in the board room



"Don't Panic, We can get through this if we stick together", real meaning, DONT QUIT! WE WILL BE GIVING YOU MORE SITES BUT WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS AS LONG AS YOUR DONT QUIT!



FUCK, I'm getting burned out really fast.

At least I said. "I'm going to be blunt, you're worried about burning out the direct care staff, how about you worry about burning out the back bone of the company, us"

Would immortality mean that we would stay pristine and beautiful forever? Or would we end up like the ladies from "death becomes her"? Airbrushed, painted, hollow and always searching for someone to fix us we decayed? Would you want to live with caution if that is what it meant? I wouldn't. What would be the point in living forever if you didn't really get to experience it?



So what if immortality meant that we lived for ever and never decayed. We stayed beautiful, losing excess body weight, having clear skin and all the perks of expensive body treatments. Would you get used to losing the people that you held close to you? Watch them die year after year as they grew old and weathered? I'm content with dying some day. No one lives forever. We prolong life with Science and Technology but they will NEVER be able to sustain skin, bone and organs long enough to live forever.

Well stated, it would remind me of the ending to the green mile when he was talking with his lady friend. A curse he called it watchiing all the people he loved to die and him not knowing when he would. wishing each day he would.

Sooo true, my friend. Hopefully, as we grow older, the shallowness will fade. I'd hate to be 'physically perfect' while all around me were aging and dying...I'd rather be with them.

I've been feeling more and more creative since the passing of my 3 year fuck up of a relationship. I look forward to letting my creative self come back and with a vengence at that. To all of my friends, thank you for your support through this and too my love.. You especially have been my shield during these times of darkness. You've shed a light on my soul that I once thought was dead.
