Lesson

Well, today I’ve got a lesson in acronyms, I think it’s been a while, so I’ve got two new ones.

CDC – Feel free to comment as to what you think it is or could be. Feel free to do this even thought you will shortly know what it actually stands for. “Client Direct Care.” Apparently, it’s from Aged Care mentality services. I was given this as a tool to use with one of my carers, who really doesn’t like being told what to do. I often let carers have the benefit of the doubt that they know how to do somethings. If I have a better way, I often share that way with them. I guess, it’s also when I expect them to do that thing my way. I guess it’s like saying “My home, My rules.

BDM – A friend suggested it’s not an acronym I should be using with my carers. She’s probably correct. “BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES” and I spent an hour on the phone, I may never get back, just to get my Birth Certificate. I think the moment I rang; I was in this automated loop advising me they had an unexpectedly high volume of calls and that I could do stuff on-line. I can’t fit it in to go in, in person and wait for an hour. But, employ some people, stupid Government. Can’t wait until not every household in Australia has a computer. To be fair, that’s already a reality. My dad’s only just gotten a smart phone. Also, several hours of my life I will never get back. But!
