I bring he (she?) back to my office and I am starting the enrollment process "they" inform me "they" are a female going through the transition to be a male, and they would like to referred to as male. OK, i'm cool with that, no big deal. So we start the process and one minute later, he asks me for my trash can and I am thinking "Oh you need to throw something away" NO HE THREW UP twice into my trash can. I have an office and I had the door closed, naturally, I am gagging and praying I will not puke also because after all he has my trash can so...... Anyway, we move past that (he does not offer to take the trash out or anything). Well after that he starts talking and talking and talking, some would say like an individual on methamphetamines. Being an addict in recovery, I can spot this stuff a mile away. So the rest of the enrollment is him talking and talking and talking and me trying to hurry this process A. because of throw up and B. blabbering drug addicts get annoying and C. its time to go home. At the tail end of this conversation (when I am mentioning bringing drugs and/or alcohol into the school will result in immediate expulsion) he tells me I do not have to worry about that because he is in recovery and going to the methadone clinic every morning. OK GREAT personally for me, methadone and recovery are never in the same sentence unless of course "methadone was not a good way to start my recovery." I can't say anything at this point, just listen nod... whatever. So the nodding out is starting and I am obliged to tell this person it is time to wrap this up and we can finish next week. Then I went home and didn't get laid. Thank GOD it's ****ING Friday.
