Biting People

Got a job working for a company that does residential support for the developmentally disabled. The client I've been tasked to work with bit me today, during my very first "training session". BIT ME. Strangely enough, it wasn't that weird. He just walked up and took a chomp out of my shoulder. Didn't break skin, but it hurt like hell. I'm told he was in a weird mood, hard to predict today, and he's kinda violent sometimes. I'm also told that he gives "love nips" sometimes... maybe he got carried away. Other than the bite, he actually seemed to like me. He and I had a little chat, wherein I told him that it hurt when he bit me, and would he please not do that in the future? He tried again about 4 times, but each time I reminded him that he had promised not to bite me, and he backed off. It didn't help that I felt like biting people today, myself.
