I had my last appointment with Hudson Valley Mental Health this week. I told them that I'm moving to Binghamton sooner than I probably am in reality. It was not the worst clinic I've experienced, that would be Sullivan County. Sullivan County seemed to be actively trying to make me as miserable as humanly possible. HVMH is also not as short-staffed as Broome County, my next destination. The psychiatrist didn't listen and seemed to scorn me, but that's basically par for the course. My therapist seemed compassionate, but unfocused. The university counseling centers I went to (ISU and Binghamton) were probably the most helpful, and even there, I wouldn't necessarily say that I made any "progress" in therapy.
I baby-sat for a seven-year-old on Tuesday. I've sat for him before, and he's pretty challenging. We watched Chicken Run and he yelled at me for laughing. Which I guess is something I've experienced a lot in my life. When his father got home, he yelled at us for talking and then threw a tantrum. This ended with him telling his father that he hated him, and a time-out on the stairs. I made $60 for four hours, but didn't feel overpaid. I prefer taking care of the four-month old, which is how I spent my day today. Sure, he emits a piercing scream that can shatter an eardrum, but we have a better rapport. I made $70 for eight hours, but didn't feel underpaid.
