Where a University of San Diego degree leads
pistol pete- I've seen you on here before, read your stuff, and realize that you play devil's advocate for the sake of playing devil's advocate, regardless of whether you actually know what you're talking about or not. Who I am doesn't alter the facts of this issue in any way. I signed "anonymous123" for the same reasons Adam changed the names of the staff in the facility. I currently work there, I don't discuss staff or children, ESPECIALLY names, outside the workplace, unless they write heinously false, self-glorifying stories and publish their own names themselves...— January 21, 2010 9:49 p.m.
Where a University of San Diego degree leads
WOW, Adam (or as we called you in the facility- "Creepyguy")! Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!!! 1) You never worked with the adolescents. You worked with the little kids. I guess I can see why you lied, it's kinda tough to write such an outrageous story when you worked with 6-year-olds... 2) You were an overnight staff. You had LITTLE to NO contact with the children. You worked from 11 pm to 7 am, wherein you mostly cleaned (albeit while wearing disposable gloves and a surgical mask that you brought in to protect yourself from what you perceived as nasty germs from the children you paint yourself as caring about so much). 3 ) These kids are WONDERFUL children. Although they do talk back and can be assaultive when upset, the picture YOU are painting is nothing but pure hyperbole written solely for effect. You would know that, had you ever spent time with any of the children. You probably could have picked up some extra shifts when the kids were awake and gotten some experience/exposure to them, had you cared enough to do that. You didn't. Instead, you spent you're time running around complaining. Complaining about management, complaining about breaks (I have never heard of any job giving an hour break for an 8 hour shift, even on an overnight), just complaining. You were never remotely interested in the kids. 4) You no longer are employed for this company. You were fired for getting aggressive with a 6-year-old boy who had wet the bed in the middle of the night. Then you complained, attempted to sue, and brought your friends and family down to stand in the parking lot with signs, in order to protest and stick up for you. The facility chose to stick up for the little boy. That's where their concern lay, and yours did not. By the way, I am not management, I am merely a regular staff. I know you're a big fan of conspiracy theories and playing the martyr, but it won't work in this instance. Grow up, Adam. You were wrong in this instance; it sounds like you definitely have been irresponsible and immature in your previous jobs, and, most of all- you're a liar who could give a damn about the kids. I think you can still write a good story without all the lies and exaggerations. Most of all, re: the expression you used to make yourself in to someone you're not and you never were- "my kids..."...were you referring to the lies you birthed or the kids at the facility- because you were no part of them. How dare you!— January 21, 2010 4:05 p.m.
