Here is a short list of the things and ways the Day Shift try's to hurt or impede me in and others in various ways.
1. When I got here I was denied a blanket, I had to wait until second shift came on and ask them for one which they had no problem providing.
2. Virtually everything I do is watched and if I do anything wrong I'm caught (this is specific to me as are others in this list)
3. I was initially put in a room with a known trouble maker even though there were entirely empty room available.
4. If I ask the Director (forever more referred to as John or asshat) a question he often just ignores me. In some cases this has caused me problems in that I needed information like the question "will you take me to the hospital for emergency surgery?" really merits a reply. However I was left to worry whether I had a ride or not.
5. When I have said things like This or that wasn't done because you hate me to John he has as usual ignored me. I can only conclude that he has a personal hatred of all of us and me in particular.
6. Rachel (one of the day shift teachers) tried to cause me to be in trouble by saying I wasn't participating. She did this by not giving me the assignment and then skipping over me as the assignment was done in class. I got a copy of the assignment and commented what she had done.
Later she was telling Asshat and Amy (Enemy) about her attempt and Amy commented that I "would not fall for that" I found this as it was reported back to me to be particularly distressing in that it demonstrated that they (The Day Shift) reward each other for harming me and by extension others here.
7. Enemy took me to the library as a way to cover the 2 hours a week I have to spend with her. Then the next week knowing that I am restricted to the facility she declined to take me back to the library when she discovered that I had checked out DVD's that were overdue. I waited until Thursday when 2nd shift was taking all of us to Walmart which is near the library, to try to return that DVD's. However, I was thwarted by apparent rules from on high that the 2nd shift could not deviate from their specific trip to Walmart. There could be no stops along the way. I went but the time limit imposed was such that I could not walk to the Library in time allotted.
8. I discovered that there were many resources that could help those of us at the center by simply giving us wifi. We could look for jobs, housing, get videos related to the classes we are in and many more things. John lied to me and told me that Mountain comp would not allow us to have wifi due to security risks. This must be untrue because the staff has an internal "hidden network" which is obvious to everyone.
9. Asshat lectured all over us after inspecting our rooms. He stated that he was concerned that some of us were too comfortable. He also seemed to take issue with some of us purchasing large TV's (which we later need in our apartments) that were nicer then the one he owned. SO as a first step in his new policy that being "you are supposed to be comfortable but not too comfortable"> He would start enforcing the Rulebook rule that we are not to be allowed into our rooms if we lock ourselves out until 6pm. This was wrong in some many ways: 1st Many of us have just come off the streets are traumatized by the experience. We need time just to decompress from the trauma and are apt to be forgetful as a result we should in no way be hurt further. 2. He stated that If you lost your key in your own place you would have to wait for your landlord to come and even pay for it. This is incorrect and any intelligent person knows that that if they rent a place that has onsite staff that are paid for out of your rent there is no delay or further cost to being locked out. Additionally one could hide a key or leave a window unlocked or give a key to a neighbor, etc the point is there are many ways to solve the problem of being locked out. What really makes this worse is the rule he is enforcing isn't even in the handbook/rulebook!


It is clear that the day shift staff and the director in particular play favorites and actively try to hurt the people they are supposed to be trying to help.
