professional ethics: boundary-setting

 9/11/2022 WORLD TRADE CENTER TERRORIST ATTACK ANNIVERSAY 

i mark this day also as an end to my DEPENDENT PERSONALITY TRAITS as played our in my PROFESSIONAL WORK!!!

i finally learned my lesson to finally say "no!" from this experience. on this SUNDAY, I accommodated two service users:

>ATTEMPTED THEFT. a janitress referred to me her female partner about two day prior, needing psychological attention. the mother came along & took an interest in my small pine tree & wanted to ask permission. i stopped her in mid-sentence, without even knowing which one she was referring to, saying assertively, "no!"

the following day, our own janitress reported to me that the janitress from the adjoining building saw our lady guard pull the small pine tree & was putting it in a flowering pot but was stopped by her, saying that the plant belonged to me.

FURIOUS, i wrote an incident report & submitted it to the supervisor (another story in itself this guy!). i also had the LGBT janitress report to me. from talking to her and the lady guard who greeted me from another building, i verified that indeed, they PLOTTED TO STEAL FROM ME -- AFTER ALL THE SACRIFICE I EXTENDED TO THEM! mga INGRATA!!! what other words can i say about them?! ENOUGH!

>HOOKED BY UTANG NA LOOB. 4 yrs PTC, i evaluated the granddaughter of this lola who is a seamstress & whom i requested to sew me a scrub suit that never materialized. now that she needs me again, she is saying to our RPm & me that i still have a scrub suit with her awaiting delivery. & so, i agreed to her bringing it to me, WITHOUT INFORMING ME (INTENT TO DECEIVE) that she already brought along her granddaughter needing retesting. 

although, i passive-aggressively took my time i realized after releasing them that i needed to still administer the achievement test since she rated only low average in her IQ (vs borderline 4 years ago).

CONSEQUENCE: i was supposed to cram for my first time webinar to an all-girls catholic school but was already EXHAUSTED of my energy... providentially, i was able to bring together my past works to bear on the final presentation that was well appreciated: for parents & their adolescent female children; though, i thought i should have added PARENTING TIPS that i just got from QMSO (hmmmp!)...
