Ok, so today I went back to work after being away for two days. You'd think two days absence would not warrant the pilfering of my specialised OT resources. Why oh why would anyone remove the projector wheel and not replace it with a new one (and especially being my favourite one where the light heats up the coloured liquid oils and projects them in patterns on the wall). And who took my step ladder? Actually if I find out who took the step ladder then maybe I can find the person who used that step ladder to reach the projector to remove the colour wheel.
And who is letting the kids bite through the gel filled balls so that the gooey highly TOXIC contents spill over the equipment to leave a glue like residue? And what the hell is that dry white drippy pattern on the mats under the swing? And if I have to turn off the freaking heater in that room when I leave at 5'o clock one more time I will be hiding the remote!
Oh and what did I do wrong to wait 3 years to get an office, only to have to share it with 4 early 20's speech pathology students who sing hokey pokey and Old Macdonald with inserted words as a 'preparation' for their therapy sessions whilst I am on the PHONE!!! Seriously what is with uni students these days, haven't they learnt respectful workplace practices for goodness sake! In my day I was so scared of my supervisor (who by the way was frightful) I ate lunch by myself in the therapy kitchen!
Grrr, I just want things to run smoothly, I want equipment to be where I left it or at least someone could leave a note so I can track its journey. And why do I have to wait a week for the maintenance man to screw a flopping pin wheel projector to a shelf when I have waited 8 weeks for it to arrive from the UK and I'm itching to use it?
I'm sorry but the sensory room is far from relaxing right now!

I'm so glad you are posting again. This is so much more healthy than hanging around the staff room complaining about unreturned scissors. Your potential audience is so much greater and thus the complaining, potentially, so much more satisfying.
And while we are on the subject, will all staff who can read stop walking through the hall! There are reasons we are not just trying to make your life more difficult by making you walk another 5-20 steps to get to your class. The hall is a classroom and a place for uninterrupted and controlled sensory activity. So STOP IT!
(not you rex)
