The Introverted Social Worker

I'm a social justice nerd from a Navy town. My supervisor calls me an acuity junkie, my mom calls me peanut and everyone else calls me difficult.

Just take a moment. Relax your shoulders. Breathe. The recovery is officially on!!!!!!!!

I’ve come to the conclusion that all of my creativity goes into my work these days and I have been mindlessly scrolling through the social media as a form of numbing behavior in substitution of actual self care.

That feeling you have after three days of vicarious trauma and critical thinking.

Happy Solstice everyone!

So I’m an ED MSW. Most of my friends work in hospitals and one of them just asked me to pick a time to “get together “ before Christmas. 🙄 how short is the memory on that one?! I’m not getting together with anyone! There’s a pandemic on and the hot zone starts 2.5 feet from my office door.

That feeling when you attend a trauma and it a kid on the gurney.

That moment you realize you haven’t heard from that DCYF case worker because it’s a fucking national holiday and they, unlike you, have the day off.

Definitely the feel today after short staffing last night.

Just i case we needed to see a very cute kitteh.

That feeling when the vacation is imminent and the job is testing your resolve to return after you’ve rested.

[marjoriemsw]

When it’s the end of a 12 hour ED shift and that one doctor tries to guilt you into staying lay for one more patient.

[marjoriemsw]

Had three days off. Baked cookies and cleaned the house. Feeling that put together housewife feeling just in time to head back to work tomorrow.

[marjoriemsw]

When every single dispo in a 12 hour shift had to be cancelled.

Death and a whole bunch of dementia. Throw in a drunken cutter or two and you have my day in a nutshell. I’m exhausted and the week just began.
