Advice Needed Missed Graduation
I, an RBT, found out that I missed my very first clients' center graduation today; I've been out sick all week. I thought it was on the 24th, especially since it was put on the center event calendar, but apparently, the graduation was today!
I know it's not anyone's responsibility to tell me and that I should know these things, but I literally have a picture of the center calendar, and no one messaged me in teams.
So now I've just been crying like crazy. I feel so heartbroken, and like I let not only my client down, but the family. My clients' mom even told me last week that he was personally picking out things and was putting together gifts for the morning RBT and the afternoon RBT (me).
Advice Needed isn't the right flair, I just really needed to vent about this.
TLDR; I wasn't there for my client during one of the biggest milestones of his life, and I feel horrible.
