When Coworker Sarah left the agency, I was supposed to only inherit those cases of hers that were supposed to close between now and the time I left the agency, and this one case I took because I know the family pretty well. Somehow, between then and now, I have inherited something like 3-4 more cases. This is fine, I don't mind the cases or whatever but... now these people are going to get new caseworkers again in 2 months? How frustrating.
Taking on other people's cases is tiring because you just don't have all the info. Even the most note-conscious clinician has some information in his/her head that never makes it to documentation. And even if it /is/ all documented, there are all of these questions: When to introduce yourself to parents? How to get around the awkwardness? Where is that damned report and why isn't it in the case file? Stuff like that. Bleh.
So today I will call a Dad that as far as I know has been pretty uninvolved. I will call and introduce myself, and in two months, someone else will call. No wonder families hate the system. I hate the system. I much prefer having cases I get from opening, because I know everything that's gone on. Hello, Control Freak!
Okay, now I shove some food in my face before heading out to a visit. I leave you with this Questions Meme.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Date: 2004-04-14 01:02 am (UTC)2. I got involved with the CWC in September of last year. And then we had our concert in January. And then they started new music for the spring concert that I didn't feel comfortable singing, so I took this spring off. So I guess I'm not technically involved now.
3. I don't know if I've ever done anything particularly disgusting. Hrm.
