One is enough.

Aside from the difficult task of making time to sit down and write in this blog, has been the dilemma of "Is this blog even worth the trouble?" "Is anyone reading?" "Is this helpful to anyone?"

And those questions have been answered tonight after I opened my email box. Several emails from new BSWs and BSW students inquiring about my experience and requesting more posts has restored my energy.

It goes back to the saying that I can't influence all but if I can influence one, that's all that matters (or something like that.)

That one reader could begin the ripple effect.

Going...going...

Well I'm not even going to address why I have been absent from this blog (but certainly not Twitter ) except that I've been blogging in my head and finally have made it back here. Honestly, I've been feverishly working since the other worker that does this work with me left the agency. Glorious 13 cases all to myself and no one (other than my supervisor) to vent with! (That was a sarcastic statement in case you didn't catch it. lol)

So much to catch up on but my brain is honestly fried after this week so here are snippets:

*After 3 years in the field, experienced my first client-yelling-at-me phone call. Yeah- it shakes you up no matter what.
*Had a few weeks of I-know-what-I'm-doing then it quickly went back to shit-I-don't-know-why-I-am-employed.
*Struggled with the decision to go back to graduate school but decided to wait another year as the husband finishes his schooling.
*Discovered a new documenting routine so I'm not so behind on my reports.

In my next post, I hope to address some of the questions in the blog post I received.

Until our next visit,
