Rainy days and transfer cases always get me down

[judecorp]

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.

1. Yes. It annoys me when anyone shows up randomly without calling. I am one of those people who gets an idea to do something and gets irritated when that's disrupted - like if I'm reading email and Jen comes and kisses me, I get annoyed sometimes even.

2. I'm not sure I really understand the question. I think the "how" of my life changes in the past two years have come about through the increases in commitment between Jen and me. But I'm not sure I'm reading your question correctly.

3. I don't know. Probably. I was a drunk-kissing whore, you know. The only people I /didn't/ kiss were the people I was afraid would want more from me. As long as you didn't give me a "I want to date you" vibe, I would have kissed you.

1. Well in 5 weeks it won't be a problem! I don't call cause of my day minutes being used by work, feel free to tell me to leave.

2. I guess I was trying to get how you've changed as an individual, cause from knowing you and people it sounds like you've changed a lot in the last year. Cuz obviously Jen is the biggest change.

3. Yeah, but I don't kiss girls in front of boys so it probably wouldn't have happened :P Besides I'm in love with you Jude.

1. I hope you weren't offended. Because I didn't mean any offense.

2. Okay, I got confused by the word "how." I /have/ changed quite a bit. For starters, I stay home more, save money more, and think to the future more. I go to bed earlier and do more laundry. I am more sensitive and take things more personally, though I'm not sure that's relationship-related. I am more critical of friendships.

1. I am offended and now hate you.

Good. That was my intention all along.
