Also forgot my oldest turned 41 yesterday. My husband Dale is taking
him to dinner tonight for his birthday. They asked me to go. But
I wanted to be available incase something happened tonight and I
was needed to pick up Derrick again.

And I know their favorite together place is chinese and I don't like
that kind of food. So when I go we go somewhere else.

Because he had trouble Friday night. Derrick's new job coach went in
to check up on him and eat last night. Her remarks to me. He was
the food runner, and he is good. And my husband said, he is so nice
and kind. Her husband has known him for a few years too. But didn't
know he is one of her clients now.

The manager told her that she had talked to him when he came in. And
things were fine. Derrick told me when he came home. That she told
him, that she told the girl that if it happened again because every one
loves Derrick she probably wouldn't have a job. And that she would need
to apologize. I guess until she did not to many in the staff were talking to
her either. But they also give her the job of running food to the parties in
a special section. And she decided running food wasn't easy.

Derrick wasn't running food in her area at all last night. And wont till
next weekend at all.

I didn't get back in on either Sunday or Monday. But its been a interesting
thing with what happened to Derrick. I guess on Sunday the big boss
of Derrick's new Job Coach program came in to make sure she thought
he and the girl that give him problems could work together. Derrick
learned about this from one of the Manager's who didn't realize this was
the big boss for his agency now. He after explaining everything, wanted
to know when Derrick's new agency would be in. Later Derrick told
him he had technically that day meet the big boss.

He said, Oh its that nice Pat, I guess he wanted to invite her agency to take
the new job coach training O'charleys has set up for the old agency. Her's technically has a pass.

But also the old company's big boss was in at the same time. I guess she
sat at the same table when she found her there. Because they were sitting
her in the same area. With same server. She didn't know why she was
being seated in that area till later that night. But she did get questioned
about how she let her company get black listed.

Any way, after it was all over, she came back that night. And Derrick was
working. And the main manager explained why they had been seated in
that specific area. And what had happened. And told her, the first training,
or test she was going to have, was going to be this girl. And so she had been
sat in her section so she would know what she was up for.

Any way, I guess Derrick has also gotten lots of messages from other staff
that they don't want him to leave O'charleys. Because the manager told
them they needed to let him know. She is so good to him.

The bartender who is his real good friend, had gone right out and let her
know what had happened. And she had talked to the girl, and then sent
her home for the night. And had tried to go talk to Derrick and found he
went home.

I'm so glad he works for such a great place.

I am a bit confused but that is ok.
I don't need to know the specifics, I just know that
they are very happy with his performance.
That is all I need to know.

You are fine, I probably posted more than anyone needed anyway.
It was more for me than anything. To get it out of my head.

See this is the one thing that helps me the most is to be able to really
talk about what is happenign.

Donna

[bizi]

I am very glad that this talking out what is happening is helpful for you.
please continue doing so.

Thanks ladies.

I will. Derrick, has been with his provider for 5 years now. And tonight we
went to an awards program. He got a really nice plaque that he didn't
know he was getting. Saw some friends get some special awards.

And even though his old not good job coach got a award for employee
of the year. The job coach person in charge of the area, told him
it wasn't her idea. And she didn't agree with it.

This lady got them all in trouble and kicked out of the restaurants around
the mall. So they are being given a chance to get back in by earning the
chance by taking classes at the restaurants to get back in.

O'charleys started and Texas Roadhouse, has let them know two of the
job coaches can start back there when they finish the start of the program.

Which they are happy to start. So much so that , the one is letting one
that is almost ready finish his training, so he can go for his workers.

My dog Jake hasn't been doing well. So I brought him out to my house
to see if he does better here. For a while. So far he seems to be doing
better. He will still I'm sure have a few bad days and seizures some.
But I will need to go back and forth some to help Derrick and my husband
will be here all the time to help Jake, or Dan can help him.

So I'm going to leave him here were its quieter and let him rest and see
if he starts doing better. Then hopefully after a while I will be back more
here than there.


I learned last week right before Derrick went to work on Friday night,
that the girl that caused all the problems, had been fired we still don't know
why but she isn't there anymore.
