Alleged Blog
Lets pretend I work at a residential treatment center and that at one time I blogged about an alleged MRSA epidemic at work. And lets just say, allegedly, that someone sent me an interesting article that was in the paper today about the alleged facility I work for.
Lets pretend that one of the clients, a youth, actually has a mother that cares about him. I know it's a stretch but work with me. So lets say the kid got a bad case of MRSA. And then the mom went to the media because she blames the alleged facility. And then when the alleged director Twilly, who may or may not look like Chuckie's bride, is asked for a statement, she says there has only been one case of MRSA in the last year.
And just for fun, lets pretend I'm really bad at math, but I think I can count to at least 10. And even though Twilly allegedly intimated that I was a poor communicator, and that really pissed me off, I allegedly think someone might be a liar, liar, pants on fire.
Of course I'm not saying any of this is true, because I wouldn't want to be fired ( even though that would be illegal.) And I wouldn't want to have anyone make my life a living hell, just because I wrote a possibly fictional or factual blog about work.It would be really sad if the kid was still in the hospital and they don't know when he will get out. It would also suck if someone made a statement about all ill clients being isolated, when the client attended groups and alleged meals.
If I was an alleged director, I would say "no comment, we are doing an internal investigation." or something along those lines.
Interesting that I'M the poor communicator. But some people communicate so well, that they run off at the mouth without thinking first. Or they are allegedly so arrogant, they make false statements, knowing full well, nothing will come of it.
I'm just glad none of this happened, and I work in a environment that would never be up for scrutiny.
I am also glad I only imagined the other cases of MRSA, because now I have nothing to worry about.

My friends mother recently passed away from MRSA complications she contracted at the nursing home she was in.....I had heard there had been a few more cases at this same place...but oh no, they said....and that's exactly why it keeps spreading.....denial....
@SoonerRose -
Well I'm glad that isn't the case where I work : wink:
Wow!! what is MRSA?
That stuff is scary! It wasn't until right after my youngest graduated from high school, that I started hearing about it in schools, for example. He did track and cross country - scared me to think about all that sweat in the locker rooms, etc., cuts from spikes, etc.

A potentially dangerous staff infection
@Still_groovy -
Even scarier when a facility does not send a kid home right, when MRSA is suspected and going around.
Hmmm...
Oh my, you do write a good story.
Oh my. That's quite a predicament you're in. Does the term "whistle blower" mean anything to you? I mean, hypothetically.
sounds loverly...if, in fact, you actuallyhad to deal with the alleged situation. Good luck.
Allegedly, said kid in hospital's mother would have a lawsuit with some mighty big teeth.
Good thing it's all a hypothetical situation.
@Daylily02 -
I know right?
@mAnGLeDmiSTlEtoE -
Thank you
@soul_survivor -
Hummm exactly
@Get_Real_64 -
No, no way I can't whistle, even hypothetically
@gwennieg -
Well Thank goodness I don't
@ItalianGrotto -
My hypothetical thoughts exactly
How can people be so allegedly stupid? Especially when there is the potential for actual (alleged) physical harm? Some things never cease to amaze me.
big storm hittin' you right about now, and headed my way - Stay Warm!!
The entire world is full of MRSA; it's at the grocery store, in the schools, and in the movie theaters. The only way to avoid infection it is to keep your immune system in great health.
I do they should have at least tried to contain the infections.
i alledge that this is hypothetically very funny.
of course not the fact that someone alledgedly got MRSA, but your hypothetical blog
@madamzephyrus -
Brrr. I know it's windy out!!!!!
@nicumom -
i know, but that's not the point, I'll email you the article. Ps. did you get my email with matt and Sarah on U tube?
@lizbeth62 -
of course you think it's funny, you are the one who thought of it ha ha
Maybe my case was also MRSA, but it is also known as Staph x the skin eating disease in my case which today I also blogged about it.
That really sucks. I can't believe people can be so irresponsible.
It would really suck if those sueing the facility were to allegedly stumbled upon an alleged blog that you never wrote...
That's a tough situation. Nothing more frustrating than knowing you're much more capable than those in charge.
An aside...I'm a new reader of your blog and am very taken by your writing... you are really talented. You're a fantastic storyteller with a lot of style.
I haven't been by in far too long. I live what you have done with the place. The broken wine glass and drunken grapes are a hoot. That would make a really cool bookmark. The banana's are pretty sexy too. Oh-La-Laaaa!!!
@PPhilip -
that sucks, hopefully I can come by and read about it
@emilymr -
I know
@bubblysox -
Ya, I wouldn't be happy about having to go to court, hypothetically
@Scentsible -
That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in ages. Thank you
@TNuts -
Thanks, of course it will be changed soon. I must have Xanga ADD with my site.
Let's pretend for a moment that the place you work is not run by complete and total idiots --
Nah.... too much of a stretch for anyone I'm afraid!
Wish I had a dime for every alledged thing that goes on in this world!!! Maybe Twilly needed to take her shoes off to help her count : )
@azcason -
Great comment, too funny!
@magsojo -
Twilly's a loser
Maybe you should allegedly come to work infected with fake MRSA & 'cause a big scene.
I hope that made sense, I worked hard on that.
@DiscordInTheGarden -
It did and I appreciate the effort.
Why does this sound so much like the company I work for?
One word........"twisted."
The situation........not the entry.
@bluemarsupial -
I don't know, do you work with bad kids?
@Berlyblake67 -
Agreed
