First day back at work in the jail, part-time. I have a new addition to my collection of things clients say to try to hurt my feelings:
“I like your earrings. They make your head look smaller.”
“You are a really mediocre person.” (I thought I must have misheard her, but when I asked, she repeated, glaring: “You are a Really. Mediocre. Person.”)
And, at 10 am today:Â “As tired as you look, that’s how tired I feel. You look like you’ve had a really loooong day.”
