Hey Mag!

This lady sounds like a real Whiled-child!!  I cant help but wonder
how she ever made it through the screening process at your
Supported Living  agency.  Sounds like someone over there really
dropped the ball on this one!!

The first thing I would do is tell your Supported Living Agency
that you want this lady taken off your staff yesterday!!

I'm  assuming  your in Supported Living?  Do you have a Staff
coordinator?  Did she put you and this Whiled-child in touch with
each other?  If so, did you have the final say as to whether or not
she would work with you: or was she forced on you by the agency?
If you had no say one way or the other, I strongly  urge you to
talk to your Service Coordinator at Regional Center and see if
there's another agency you could work with.

Please keep us posted.

Hello everybody,

I've got a problem. Here's the scenario.  My PCA & I go out, and
she flirts with any man who even glances her way.  It's annoying.
Today, we were on a walk home, and there is this male postal worker
in shorts. she goes up to him
and says something like "ooh, nice legs!"  I could not believe it.
I was so embarrassed. I told her not to do that when she is with
me, and now she is mad at me. The point is that when she is with
me, she is an assistive person,
and when she flirts -- which she says is her way of being friendly
that she is not representing my interests. She has in the past
teased MY doctors about their eyes or hair, and I've asked her not
to do that. Yet she still managed to say something last time I was
in the doc's office.  she may have a starved
ego, and may need the attention, but I maintain that it's not her
place to have her ego stoked while she's on the job. I told her it
borders on sexual harassment, and she doesn't see it at all. Then
she wonders why men are constantly all over her when we are out
together. They want her number, and
don't even see I'm there. I've termed it the "guide dog syndrome"
in that when blind people walk their dogs, people pay attention to
the dog, not the person handling it. This has never happened with
my other assistants...  So
guys, any advice or opinions, how do I handle this? Gary?  Nick are
you here yet?
