Expected to be real productive today, what with no other bodies to disturb me and a full free day for clearing reports.. Results were: Marginally fruitful, but not up to my high hopes :P Sounds quite typical huh.. Not wanting to pick up another case file, but instead reflecting on my job again, i wonder. What difference am i actually making in the lives of these children and parents that i see just once off, churn out a report, then hand them over to the next professional... Where's the opportunity to build up relationships in that? There are many things i like about my job (which i was mulling over before deciding to re-join my company) - the work environment, the aims and vision of the organisation, having extremely capable and truly professional colleagues who have since become friends... I do think we are helping the kids who come to us (well, most of them..), and we are kept busy - almost like fire-fighting lately. But surely there's more that can be done. I guess i am asking: Are we making the most of the resources we have for the greatest benefit of the most people? Hm, definitely not a question that can be answered in a short time :P
Anyway, leaving office now...
...This time next week, i'll be in Perth!! :O)
