The Non-Violent Intervention Seminar I attended yesterday was all that I had expected, and more. It was eight hours of corporate fun and games, let me tell you. Workbooks to fill out during the lectures, and activities designed to keep you from daydreaming. My favorite part was this: they won't even say the word "violent". If a person comes into your workplace in that manner, it's called Acting Out. No joke. They are referred to as the Acting Out Person.
I love it.
Anyway, here's one of my doodles during the class, I got so tickled from this that I started snickering and the teacher wanted to throw a stapler at me, but he really couldn't, because of the whole non-violence thing. Plus, he knew I was just acting out.
Anyway, this is the part of the booklet where they show you restraining techniques. These two lovely computer generated folks are escorting this man to Security. I wish you could see the expressions on the faces, it makes it a lot funnier.
Okay, that's all for today. I swear to write more next week. Honest.

It does not hurt to be prepared for such things cuz you never know. How are the children. Must be in college by now since it has been so long. Either one of them married or anything? Kidding but it has been awhile
love ya
None of the kids are married yet, though I will admit to eying the other kids around here their ages to see who might match up well. So far, they all have "maturity issues". Ha! I kill myself.
