Judy and I have a debriefing session everyday after Group. After I recount Pauline’s progress, or lack thereof, Judy sticks a pen in her mouth and has a good chew. She’s not looking at me and not looking away from me. She’s just mulling it over.

I begin to worry that I’m going to get Pauline kicked out of the House so I interrupt Judy’s prolonged silence, “It’s not like I think she can’t make progress. It’s just gonna take a while longer.”

Judy’s eyes fasten on to me and a little shiver runs through my body. She takes the well-worn pen from her mouth and sticks it behind her ear. “Oh, I’m not worried about Pauline. She’s right on schedule. Deluded and victimized.”

“So ... what’re you thinkin’ about?”

Judy’s voice leaps an octave, which is usually an indicator that she knows exactly what’s going on. “You, honey. I’m a little concerned about you.”

“Me?”

“Remember we talked about how it can bring up stuff working here?”

“Yeah. And it has. Like with Ding-Dong.”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“And it’s hard. Most days I leave I feel like a truck ran over me.”

Judy’s voice moves a few keys higher as she squeaks out, “When’s the last time you went to a meeting?”

So now I’m busted and I’ve been around long enough to just admit it. “Few weeks ago.”

Judy gives me a big smile. “A few weeks ago? You must be gettin’ a little twitchy.”

“Does it show?”

“Oh, yeah, honey.”

“I’m here all day and then I feel like I’ve done my thing. Last thing I want at night is ...”

“Not the same thing. This is work. You’re focused on other people and their shit. At night, you need to focus on yours. Especially when you’re doing this kind of work.”

“I guess I know what I’m doin’ tonight.”

Judy’s already out of her chair and onto her next task. Her voice pipes behind me. “Good.”
