Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I had my care team meeting today. I think it went pretty well. It was fun watching the shitshow of blame games, as well as the external people who just seemed shocked this happened at all. It looks like my org will reimburse me for the security camera and door alarms though, so that's useful. It didn't actually cross my mind that I could probably either make them buy it, or to just reimburse me for it later. One of my support people in the meeting was just like "so let me get this straight: you purchased cameras and alarms to keep yourself safe, with your own money, even though it's their fault you have to worry about your safety in the first place?"
From tonight there's no more overnight workers which means I'm on my own again. I'm not feeling unsafe or scared anymore, I feel like even if he does come back, I can handle it. But after thinking on it more, I don't think he's the type who would come back. I mean, he broke into my room while I was away and only did it before he moved out, even though it's probably a logical fallacy on my part, that kind of just seems like cowardice. Plus, if he was planning on coming back, he probably would've by now
I really hope someone gets fired for this
If you were an adult, I'd tell you to go to the ABC with this clusterfuck. Save it for when you're safe, though, this crap needs to be exposed ugh.
I'm glad you're feeling better and safer. I hope things keep improving for you! You're incredibly kind and smart :)
So is there any accountability or changes coming out of it?
Hmm... Well, I'll see the area manager tomorrow afternoon, he'll probably tell me he's sorry for what happened but also it's not actually his fault at all and in a roundabout way, it's actually my fault. But that's probably about it
