Sudden realization....

After the meeting for the 3P groupwork. Suddenly realised that I've actually got so much responsibility for this group!! My co-facilitator is also my mentor for doing the group. She'll be sort of my advisor...while I do most of the teaching and facilitation.

I mean, this is freaky!! It's the first time I'm doing this man! And we're gonna be paid a substantial sum of money for this!! Now I'm starting to think that clearing my leave at this point in time is not such a good idea afterall...Feeling stressed already.

Funny thing is that the process of applying of leave is so stressful in itself...have to go through the eleave system. Can you imagine I took 30 mins to just try to apply leave for 10.5 days??!! I mean, computers are supposed to make the job easier right? But apparently is has made life more miserable....I can only think of 1 group of pple who benefit from this eleave thing..that's the administrators....

Come to think of it..it doesn't really cut down work does it? It does cut down the administrator's work, but increases the social workers'/counsellors' work!! It's just a "blow wind blow" situation where work is redistributed!! Ditto to the ECMS...

Oh well, we're living in a modern society so gotta keep up. No wonder more and more ppl are having depression, stress and anxiety...we modern folks think we're doing less with the aid of modern technology, but actually we're doing extra work to ease someone else's job. We dun even realise that sometimes and wonder why time is never enough!

Is there really so much work to do in this world? Why do our tasks seem neverending?

Picture this...a man is digging a hole while his friend is trying to fill it up....I think this describes our work best!
