Today I was given a choice at work, So I said No. I said No to taking three of the clients to their Psychiatrist. I felt that it would be unsafe for me to be driving with three clients. It was the 3rd time I said no to my manager. But then after saying no, I feel bad, and I feel that I’m not being an independent worker and like I’m working as if I’m on placement, when I’m not anymore? But at the same time, as a casual worker, I need to be able to say no, to protect myself because I have no other benefits ( like sick leave) or health insurance coverage! Dilemmas…Sigh…the working life… and I’m only doing this twice a week…
Anyway mental health is enjoyable, but at the same time, I really think its not my forte.
Time to look for a Paediatric OT job for next year.. *fingers crossed that I can find one*
