Sometimes, it’s was a matter of timing, grace or just plain luck how so many people can survive the same but not the same type of existence. Longevity in the Association is a tricky thing. I guess it depends on your role. There are many labels where I work, both for staff and the people we serve. I have the title of assistance supervisor, staff, counsellor, friend, co-worker, union member and part of the team at the Association. I have worked for the Association since 1986 as a counsellor for developmentally delayed adults.
I went through many years without a being jaded but as with many jobs the feeling that you’ve seen it all begins to creep in. This happens gradually you hardly notice it at all or sometimes it hits you all at once. For me it was a combination of both things. To combat the burn out I up graded my training. This was to keep things fresh. It helped but I decided to take up photography as a hobby and to find myself. So as time goes on I will post more on the Association, Photography, Stargate, Border Collies and who knows what.
