I need to do a complaint online but there is not a computer with internet access for residents

There is WiFi but I did not bring my laptop or tablet here.

The computer in the resident dining hall is turned on but not hooked up to internet so it just appears residents have a big computer. I was promised to be able to use a computer here tomorrow.

 

I spent the weekend out of my room, in the dining hall, and visiting in rooms. I am not so sleepy and dropping off. In fact I feel restless. I went to sit at a table and I was told by a man that "regulars" sat there so I moved. The next time I went in the dining hall,my protector was sitting in his motorized scooter at that table. When I walked in,he told me to come sit and keep him company. I sat and asked if he was going to cause trouble. He said no ,but this table belongs to everyone. Then he told me to never let someone run me off. I said well I didnt want to fuss over a table. Then he said it don't matter. And I said well it was men so honestly I backed down. Well as we sat there and another man and woman joined us,two men were complaining to staff. My protector was saying loudly that some white men did not like him,a black man,sitting with them. I just focused on helping my other friends order. One is hard of hearing and one cannot speak well. They usually do not have someone helping them order. So we watched the tv too,on a public television station so I got to see my shows. Then one man's roommate came in saying he had been looking all over for him because it was time for him to go to bed at 6:30 pm. He ignored him. But the roomate continued on about how my friend lost track of time. I think my friend was embarrassed about it all. I said goodbye and used his christian name I knew him as,but the roommate told me to say his nick name. I ignored that.

I ended up watching what I wanted until I needed meds. No I did not want to go to bed. I finished the shows in the hall and then I went to my room. Roomie watching a show. Then another came on,we watched half of it,then it was midnight. She turned off her tv. I kept mine on. She kept saying it was late. Her way is never to have the tv on after midnight. Even if it is low. But I wanted to see the end of it.

 

Groundhog day. I broke out of the mold. I bought a diet dr. Pepper. I watched the end of the movie, and what I want matters. I will get norco and keep the pain managed. I like to visit with others here even if conversation is limited.

 

The worst thing is Roomie uses laxatives every day and she likes to talk aboutthe outcome. Size,texture,amount.

God forgive me but it is too much for me to take. In fact, I left one morning because I was tired of groundhound day.

Then I was in the dining hall. In took the table..

Pam, love your independent streak, go for what you want. It may be a bit like living on the edge but better that than returning to the zombie state you were in.  Yes, do move around the place, make it your neighbourhood.  It is great to make friends , find pleasant companions, help those you can. TO LIVE!!!
