Sorry for disappearing this a week. I pretty much had to run family members around, in addition to doctor’s appointments, and then work became busy.

I will def let my boss know although he has been MIA for a few weeks with grad students taking over his duties. I found out via school website he has been assigned to lecture a course this semester so I am assuming it is playing a part of him passing more duties on to others since he is a Phd student. Sadly, for me he is not on site so he really cannot “step” in. If it gets to the point where I feel very uncomfortable I can talk to the director of the center. I do want to protect myself in respects to my job because I clearly care enough not to quit on them when they can’t keep workers for more then a semester.

Today, I actually followed some of this advice without knowing it. I set a firm 15 minutes while I was working on another project to quickly chat and then left the room. I am able to leave the room as I have an “office” for assessments. I say “office” because it flooded last week so I have to share the area with the janitors who are working to figure what pipe burst.

Hm, I think the major part would be he is very lonely because I asked why he wasn’t having his hip replaced like he originally said, the reason was he lived alone. I can completely understand this, but I don’t know his financial and medical situation. I honestly do not know if would be sexual attraction maybe remorse for never marrying when he had the chance? He offered to give me his cell phone number for emergencies, but I said no without giving a reason, and left to go get the janitor.

I guess the hardest part is the wording because like some of you suggested I am worried he might try to say something to the director, or my boss of me not being a good worker. A relative works in a nursing home, had warned me that the older gentlemen sometimes do act like this. I decided to be pre OT so I will be switching my job in the Spring to work with autistic children. I will be informing my boss by the next month of my schedule no longer working with the shifts, and of my new job.
