Going to work this early in the morning just makes me want to scream.

I was in a fantastic dream too, and was very comfortable in my bed. One of those dreams that leaves the faint tactile sense of memory. I have never cursed my alarm clock so much.

Off to work, to train new people and slave away.

I don't have the strength for your job...

But please don't stop.

Things like this (http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/woman-cut-off-babys-arms/2006/02/14/1139679557319.html) have to stop. They have to.

My god. I'm gonna be sick. I cna't imagine what that baby must have gone through.

Current Mood: horrified

Please don't stop doing what you do.

That case remains a big deal, and a stark reminder of what happens when the funding for social services and mental health care is slashed to ribbons. Could this have been prevented? Possibly. I don't think one could really say for sure. We're keeping doing what we do though, despite all these horrors. The agency really, truly does struggle do a lot with very little. Everytime something like this happens, we're all sick.

I have to say though, I love my job. Whatever awful things, I love my job.
