Client review for October 25, 2014
Blonde: patient and well-mannered until not, main offense/defense high decibel auditory assault. Approximate sleep deficit: 7 hours. (See below.)
Blonde off-site with main service provider from 10/24/14 8:00 p.m. to 10/25/14 10:30 a.m. for overnight conference. (See above.) Social development: Networking with peers. Small motor skill development: potholder weaving. Evening literary review: The Pink Fairy Book, "The Princess in the Chest."
Ginger: mildly depressed about and apparently incapacitated by inability to skateboard. Unhappy about insufficient supply of Tech Decks.
Large motor skill development: Skateboard practice in driveway. Small motor development work: Snap Circuits. Evening literary review: delayed in favor of late night walk with alternate service provider.
Brunet (formerly known as Brunette) almost perpetually upset today (perhaps due to lack of adequate rest). Incomplete list of grievances: insufficient supply of tech decks, lack of companionship, alimentary needs not met immediately, etc.
Two separate efforts made on behalf of management to cull Brunet from clientele so as to allow to decompress and possibly sleep. Second successful. Evening literary review: The Grouchy Ladybug, The Diggingest Dog, The Berenstein Bears' Picnic, The Berenstein Bears' The Bike Lesson, Little Critter's I Had a Bad Dream, and Once Upon a Potty.
I took the blonde to an all-night conference. I thought that they would be asleep by midnight or =, at the latest, one in the morning. Nope. These girls would have stayed up all night if we hadn't turned off the lights and asked/ordered them to lie down.
This left the other clients with my partner. I have no idea what they did, and I don't want to know. The main take-away here is that when everyone is short on sleep, we all lose.
