AKA
The Coven
They gather every morning in the commons area to discuss the
state of the world and offer “helpful” suggestions on any subject that may come
up.
Each morning I stop by with Banner, the dog, after he has
taken care of his morning dog business. He gets “treats” and I get my balls
busted.
This morning they had a card for everyone to sign. One of
our residents, age 92, died last night. In a 65+ 90 unit building that is a frequent occurrences.

There is usually two groups. The Coven go in together to
fund a coffee pot so sit across from the commons kitchen. Then there is the
lobby group, who use the lobby coffee bar and the Krug machine.
Need I say neither group likes the other?
Banner, and I, are friendly with both groups. Surely that
irritates everyone. Mission accomplished!

The Coven and the Conclave. You're wise to court both groups. You have all the makings of a successful politician.
Does the unit have others coming in to replace the DRT's? And how do they decide or invited to join a group? Seems like it would be fun to just sit and listen.
I'm not anonymous. I'm just sweet lovable me, Coffeypot.

Think of middle school girls. That seems to be the mode.

Politician? Nah, more along the lines of hearts and minds. I live here.
I used to visit a similar place where the Coven played poker on a Thursday afternoon. I'd have to break up their game while I gave Communion to one of the players, and guess what, they all prayed along.
I always asked permission first, obviously.

Some of the lobby group and the common room group attend the same bible study group.
I'm so much a loner that I don't think I would do well in a Coven. But setting outside the group and observing might be interesting.
The dynamics of this place is a hoot to watch.
Don't envy you dealing with those two groups... Sooner or later, you're going to piss both of them off! :-)

I'm not really liked by either group, and I'm ok with that.
