lost in the muck and mire of hopelessness
well, i been here at work since 1 pm yesterday, and im here until 8 am, it snowed here we got an inch of snow or 2 depending upon where you are at!! along with the usual tramps trying to pee in the doorway, one of the new tenants here at the hotel is just totally off his rocker, having told me that he does not have his meds. poor bastard. i been down that road many times in the past. paranoid, afraid that someone is out to get me, not knowing, afraid to sleep because if i goto sleep i will die. hearing voices and seeing things that were not there. been there, done that, been treated, survived. good therapy is the key.

so, this guy comes in, and i get him to sign his paperwork, and he is trying to tell me a story of how this girl is trying to take his TV from him. and i told him that he will be ok here and he dont have to worry about that anymore. i did all i could to try to make him feel secure, but, with some people with mental illness, severe, and without meds. theres no talking to them.

its been a nice cold and quiet night here in lake oh! my! gawd! deep in the ghetto, up until 10 past 2. i was sitting here in the office snoozing abit, when i noticed figures in the shadows lurking at the doors!! it was the cops, trying to get inside!!! so, i let them in, and asked them if i can help them, i told them that i am security here, and they said that they gota call from room 227 and i told them that this resident has severe mental health issues. so i escort them to the room to meet and greet the nut job.

he tells the cops that people been trying to get in his window, (we on the 2nd floor, folks!) and that people are bleeding on the stairs. and that people are trying to open his door. all along, im thinking what a nice quiet night it was, and the 2 cops were professional, and assured him that every thing is ok, that the security is here, and i told him that all he has to do is come down the stairs, and see me if he has a problem.

so, no sooner than the cops leave, mr nut job comes down the stairs to the lobby. poor guy tells me that he is frightened, and refuses to go back to his room. so, then we talk for a minute, and hes just bouncing off the wall, saying that hes paranoid, he dont have his meds, and he feels that he is in danger. so i tell him that if he wants to goto the hospital, i will call 911 and bring the cops back, and if i do this he will be going to hospital.

they come, and i explain to them what the dealie is; so they assess him, and talk to him, then at this point, doyle comes out, awakened by all the fuss, i tell doyle what the dealie is, and he says that he just knew this guy is going to be problems. i told doyle he should try to go back to bed, i can handle this. and after they leave, he comes back out, and tells me that he cant go back to sleep!!! oh boy!! see, doyles apartment is right out front, street side, adjacent to the office, the lobby and he can hear everything that goes on!! no wonder he wants to move out. well, he wasnt crabby or angry, he knows that i have a handle on things here. i think that if fat jason or moocher or sammy the samoan was here, all crap would have broke loose, and then doyle would have been angry.

so, now the nut job got took to the hospital. i sure hope that they keep him there for awhile and get him settled in with his meds. people who need to take the meds, need to take them!!
