as the title indicates, i cannot type the word "error" correctly - at least, not without very, very deliberate effort. to prove this fact, from this point onward, i promise not to correct the word "error" whenever i type it. by the time we get to the end of this post, i think you will agree that i cannot type the word erroor very well.
but the larger point.....beyond whether or not i can type the word "error" correctly......is......why am i talking about thinking errror corrections and what, in the freaking first place, is a thinking eroor correction anyway?
a thinking eroor is psychobabble for, "you moron, you!"
by extension, then, a thinking erro correction is, "think like i think and you'll be fine."
in my line of work, pretty much all we do all day long is correct people's thinking errors. we run around all day telling people that the way they think - either about one thing in particular or, more likely, about everything in general - is screwed up. and the magic of this is, we're hardly ever wrong! in other words, we hardly ever make thinking eoorros about somebody else's thinking errors. it's a great job, really. if you can get it.
what it boils down to is, as social workers, we get to decide what's functional and what's not. what's healthy and what's not. what is a stupid, idiotic, knock-if-off-buster way of thinking about things and what is not. and not only that......we get to tell people to knock it off! (except, we can never actually use the words "knock it off." because if we did, our boss would correct our thinking eroors and we'd be out of a job.)
even so, that's basically what social workers do......they tell other people that their thinking is pathetic but they do it in such a way as to sound real nice and lovey-dovey about it. ergo, "thinking error." as opposed to........"a-hole!"
however, the problem with correcting somebody else's incredibly stupid thinking errors is that, at the end of the day (literally), you have to type up all of your clinical notes and you have to make it sound like what you did all day long was helpful and beneficial and not rude or haughty. which is why we type up the words, "thinking errorr correction" rather than, "you incredibly stupid moronic a-hole, you!"
except, i can never type the word "erroor" right.
apart from that, though...... i am so much better than everyone else.
