In the words of Olivia....Lets get physical

If I am not losing some weight at the moment, then I will be seriously annoyed. My job has just become the most physical it has been since i became a manager, and on top of that I have started going swimming at least 3 times a week, with hopes of starting using the gym again when i feel a bit fitter.
Over the last couple of days I have been in to town (with service users) every day, and had liver and bacon thrown at me, had rude ignorant lazy bastards watch me struggle to the back of the bus with a disabled person while they sat in the disabled seats, and had people stare at us while I supported someone to eat their lunch - am still really enjoying not being a manager though!!!!!
However, (I know that none of my friends reading this are the kind of people to do this sort of thing, but feel the need to to rant anyway...... )If you see a person with a learning difficulty out in the community, please do not stare at them like they are from outer space, even if they are making strange noises - this is probably just the way they communicate how they are feeling!!! Also remember this - you probably see much worse when out in town on a Friday night!!! The best thing to do is react as you would do to any other person (which as we are British is probably ignore them). Oh yeah, and if you see someone struggling to open a door and get through it with a wheelchair at the same time - help them!!! It amazes me how many rude people there really are out there. On a bonus point though, the opposite to these twats is there are also a lot of people out there who really go out of there way to help, and it is much appreciated.
Sermon over :-)
