I dread reporting to work today.
We're short staffed for normal workload, but we were able to manage on the day shifts. Now we're in the midst of a crisis, and we're really feeling the crunch. I will probably be spending the entire day on the floor, rather than in the office. Which means, no work getting done. Yesterday I was able to accomplish some things while listening to the audiobook -- previously mentioned. That was just playing catch up. There are things that need to be done which haven't gotten done yet, and won't get done before I go on my vacation. Are they critical? Well, not entirely, but some of it was scheduling appointments for the month of March. Some of those will almost certainly end up falling into April. That's if I ever get time to spend in the office on a business day. I can't make appointments on Sundays.
Worse, no one wants to make a decision in the matter. This afternoon we meet with a specialist regaring one problem. Where that will lead us is beyond me, but we'll see if it gets us anywhere. I have made my opinion clear on the matter, but we need to convince admin that that is the correct route, and despite the program management pulling for it, admin hasn't shown an interest ... yet.
The Health and Human Services gig has really grown old. Especially as a member of management. I see the wheels grinding, things not getting done when it suits people with influence, and things getting done so quickly witnesses get whiplash when it appeals to them. Right now I see people hoping for things to get better, despite ample evidence that they will progressively worsen.
I need to get back to college. I need to go to Law School. The naive and idealistic notion that health and human services was a more caring field, a field where I would have a greater chance of making a meaningful contribution to someone's life -- all bullshit. That is the bill of goods that they sell people, and they will win the souls of the people that are afraid to change. They'll remain in the field, perhaps with the same employer for their career because they're afraid to do anything else.
Well, there is probably greater care to be offered in a private practice. In a larger setting there is administration to appease rather than your own sense of duty. Private practice in my field is far too daunting a challenge for me to undertake. If I do persue law, in the end I'll have the opportunity to eventually persue a private practice and contribute as I see fit. Remember that when you tell lawyer jokes. If you were privy to the inner workings of a hospital or other health care entity, you'd see non-lawyers devising ways to screw patients, families, employees, contractors ...
